Finding your way in the Land of Personality Tests

We juxtaposed the tools Stanwick has in place (Belbin®, LIFO®, Insights®, MBTI®).

Stanwick regularly receives questions regarding the use of personality tests:

  • “We willen een teambuilding met inhoud organiseren. Welke tool gebruiken we hier best voor?”
  • “In onze organisatie gebruikt de ene afdeling MBTI®, de andere afdeling maakt dan weer gebruik van Insights®. Wat doe ik hier als HR-manager mee en hoe kan ik onze teams informeren over de verschillende tools en wanneer welke inzetten?”

Stanwick regularly receives questions regarding the use of personality tests:

  • ‘We want to organise a team building with content. What tool would be best to use for this?’
  • ‘In our organisation, one department uses MBTI®, while another uses Insights®. As an HR manager, what do I do with this, and how can I inform our teams about the different tools and when to use which ones?’

As these are very relevant questions, we have put the tools we have in place - Belbin®, LIFO®, Insights®, MBTI® - side by side and try to make as complete a comparison as possible. In this way, we hope to be able to advise you as a client even better in your choice in the future.

Do you have a journey in the pipeline and could use some direction in choosing the most appropriate tool? Stanwick hopes this short questionnaire will inspire you. Of course, this Stanwick questionnaire is only a first indication and we are happy to further explore with you which tool you can best use in the trajectory you have in mind.
