PRINT Personality Survey

About PRINT

  • PRINT is a personality survey
  • PRINT is an instrument built on the Enneagram
  • PRINT seeks to uncover peoples’ inner motivations and unconscious patterns that drive their life and the trigger mechanisms associated with these patterns
  • PRINT provides a comprehensive representation of a person’s potential
  • PRINT is a survey for an individual – however there is a survey specifically for couples – COUPLES COMPASS

NB: Both members of the couple are required to complete the individual survey first.

Survey details

The survey shows our:

  • Unconscious motivators
  • Shadow behaviours – Gremlin/underdog

Unconscious Motivator

  • Everyone has a dominant unconscious motivator
  • This motivator guides behaviour

  • Based on distorted assumptions
  • Clouds judgement, limits innovation
  • Damages relationships, creates frustration –
  • Inhibits cooperation, destroys morale
  • Undermines growth, productivity, profitability

Best Self

  • Conscious, automatic, positive behaviour
  • Based on realistic assumptions

Understanding PRINT

  • People have Major and Minor PRINTS, but one PRINT always dominates
  • No PRINT is better than any other
  • The Minor PRINT influences the Major PRINT
  • The Minor PRINT provides additional strategies to get the Unconscious Motivator of the Major PRINT met
  • Different PRINTS can exhibit similar behaviours
  • There are 72 PRINTS that come from 9 Major and 9 Minor PRINTS

NB: Do your research – you may prefer to use other instruments such as MBTI or DiSC
