I’m an INFP and a fairly liberal independent. This video was interesting.

Comment on To Move Platforms or Not? by robertahill

Thanks Syl,
I couldn’t agree more but of course – I want to do it myself which is why I will probably wait until the summer. I had my old “personal story of my move to Europe” on Typepad and recently moved it over. The post transferred seamlessly but I didn’t have any fancy side bars.
Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I actually have over 6 wordpress “blogs” set up . I am addicted to them.

Roberta, I definitely support your moving Assessments Today to a WordPress blogsite.
Like you, I had a typepad account for my blog. And a separate website. In 2008, I integrated the blog and website to a WP blogsite and I’m so glad that I did. While I am very tech-proficient (also like you!), and could have done the conversion myself, it would not have been a good use of my time and ultimately would have been a major distraction.
Rather than use one of the free WP templates, I bought a customizable WP template. Then, I hired a web-designer who understands how to *really* customize & tweak templates. I outlined what I wanted and delegated the work to her.
Several plug-ins were also installed and they make it easier for me to manage the site.
Let me know if you’d like to connect privately for more info on the plug-ins I recommend. Or, for more info on the hosting company I use. Or, for the designer.
Here’s the “old” website which I keep around so that I can show people the before & after.
www.TheLeadershipCenter.com/
And, here’s the new website, with the site and my blog (called WindowSyl)combined into one.
SageLeaders.com
Cheers,
Sylva Leduc

Comment on Color to Determine Personality Traits by robertahill

Well this marks the third person, including myself that could not get the assessment to work. Disappointing to say the least and I would not recommend wasting time as it does not appear to work for anyone.
Cowtowne, believes that I should delete the blog page but it is the topic that is of interest to me and not necessarily the links. I do think that I may need to add a disclaimer as I can not guarantee that the links will remain active. This is one of the issues with blogging.

what integrity exists for this well meaning portal of services. What does a reader get from … a “free test” that does not work? Oh, “you might be able to get actual results, i did not.”
Yes i am irritated, and yes, this blog page of 2nd-hand UNFORMATION should be deleted… That would suffice as a service to the internet. Save some other folks their time!

INFP and ESFP are very Democrat, that’s great.

Thanks Ira – glad to see I have readers who represent all three of the different “values” assessment that I reviewed.
Took a look at your web site and encourage others to do so as well.
I am thinking about adding this instrument to my new “Expat Family” coaching package along with Social Styles to help family members understand where some of the challenges in a new country may be coming from.

Roberta,
Thanks for bringing Values to the forefront! I started with TTI’s values when it was 1st introduced but have since switched to MaxPo (although I private label mine as Business Values and Motivators.) I’ve also published a book on the 6 values for anyone interested in learning more about them. You can find the book at www.understandingbusinessvaluesandmotivators.com/
Thanks for your great work.

Thanks for the compliment.
You are right, the IMX version appears to split Allport’s political into two: individualistic and political. TTI (as I mention in my audio) decided to call Allport’s political -individualistic. I think the split is interesting but I have no idea how “valid” in psychometric terms it is.
After you look at the webinar, I hope you will comment and add thoughts to TTI’s PIA&V. It has been a while since I used it.
(Also hope you consider joining the Assessments Here Network at: www.assessmentshere.com/

Hi Roberta,
Good stuff here. I’m a TTI Value Added Associate, so you can guess this caught my eye. I’m looking forward to watching your webinar.
Looks like you’ve just split apart TTI’s individualistic into two: individualistic and political.
I will concur that the motivators/values are a great complement to the DISC/Behaviors!
