Why Should You Use LivStyle?

You might be thinking, “So, if there are already plenty of helpful personality assessments out there, why should I use LivStyle? What’s so special about it?”

I get it. Sometimes, there’s more personality tests than you can handle. 

Plus, popular tools like the Enneagram, 16 Personalities and DiSC have wonderful insights to improve your workplace and personal relationships.

And, of course, there are plenty of coaches and professionals who help people have successful careers and healthier relationships with their expert knowledge of one or more of these personality assessments.

But there are two main reasons why hiring a certified LivStyle coach improves your work life and personal relationships: Depth and Accuracy.

The Nine Dimensions of LivStyle

LivStyle gives you nine in-depth looks into your personality — this gives you a comprehensive report of your personality, your communication style, your strengths, and your areas for growth. 

With LivStyle, you get the same depth of insight of two or more other assessments after taking just one personality assessment.

You gain a better understanding of your communication style, your motivations, and your overall personality through this assessment — insights that exceed any single personality assessment.

Primary Personality

Based on the 16 Personalities, your Primary Personality Profile gives your unique blend of four main dimensions of personality.

  • Power — Strong-willed, Assertive, and Motivated by Results
  • Promotion — Flexible, Spontaneous, and Motivated by People
  • Peace — Passive, Accommodating, and Motivated by Harmony
  • Process — Analytical, Precise, and Motivated by Accuracy

Personality Under Pressure

Stressful situations have a huge impact on the way you respond to your environment. LivStyle compares your primary personality to your personality under pressure — giving you a clear picture of how you look, act, and communicate differently in stressful environments.

Processing Blueprint

Get four different spectrums of how you process your environment:

  • How much you get your energy from your internal versus external environment
  • How much you process information through the lens of imagination versus the lens of factual information
  • How much you use thinking versus feeling when making decisions
  • How much you prefer your life to be spontaneous versus orderly

Motivation: Why

Get answers to the three main questions of why you are motivated to do certain things:

  • How much are you motivated by what you do versus who you are doing something with?
  • How much are you motivated by giving instructions versus receiving instructions?
  • How much are you motivated by achieving your goals versus being recognized for your efforts?

Motivation: How

Get answers to the four main questions about how you are motivated to do certain things:

  • How much are you motivated by exchanging ideas with someone versus receiving direction from someone?
  • How much are you motivated by a flexible schedule versus a more structured routine?
  • How much are you motivated by self-affirmation versus affirmations from other people?
  • How much are you motivated by completing tasks versus participating in the process of a project?

Decision-Making

Learn more about your decision-making process and discover how you process decisions and how fast you make your decisions.

Fundamental Needs

The three fundamental needs of every human being are significance, control, and security. Through the LivStyle assessment, you’ll find out how much you relate to all three of these needs in your life and how it affects your approach to life:

  • Significance — desires approval from people and to make an impact in the world
  • Control — desires to control their environment, people, and circumstances
  • Security — desires stability and for their material and relational needs to be met

Conflict Management

See how much you use each of the five ways of resolving conflict in your life:

  • Collaborating — working with people to resolve conflict
  • Accommodating — ignoring your own desires to resolve conflict
  • Compromising — settling for partial agreements and disagreements to resolve conflict
  • Avoiding — ignoring conflict to resolve conflict
  • Competing — working against people to resolve conflict

C.A.R.E Mindset

An acronym for Creative, Adaptive, Refining, Engaging. Use this part of the assessment to determine your unique way of solving problems and providing solutions in your life:

  • Creative Mindset — Innovation, Ideas, Multiple Possibilities
  • Adaptive Mindset — Supportive, Developing, Strategic Thinking
  • Refining Mindset — Analytical, Precise, Accuracy
  • Engaging Mindset —Implementation, Completion, Results-Driven

Overlays

Get the best analysis of any relationship dynamic at work or in your personal relationships with LivStyle’s Overlay feature. Overlays give you a clear picture of similarities and differences between you and the people you live and work with. 

You’ll see just how unique each person is when you put each assessment together. And that’s the perfect tool for helping you understand other people’s differences and having empathy in any relationship.

Accuracy

But here’s the key feature that sets LivStyle apart from other personality assessments: Livstyle was mathematically designed to ensure the most accurate results for anyone who takes the assessment.

Have you ever taken different versions of a personality assessment just to see if you get the same results?

At best, your results are confirmed by another assessment. And they can also deny your previous results and lead you into confusion about your personality type.

The creators and curators of LivStyle have tried to lie to the assessment and take it as if they were a different person. And the accuracy scale always calls their bluff — which, of course, makes the developers pretty happy.
