One of the keys to behavioural change and personal development is to raise self-awareness. If you want to change something you need to understand it and one of the best ways to gain a deeper understanding of yourself is to complete a behaviour or personality profile. 

The Breckenridge Institute® has developed two new on-line assessment tools based on the Breckenridge Enneagram™ model of personality:

• Breckenridge Type Indicator™ (BTI™) Basic
• Breckenridge Relationship Indicator™ (BRI™) Basic

The BTIâ„¢ and BRIâ„¢ are the most reliable and valid on-line Enneagram assessment tools available anywhere.

BTI Basic Version

The BTI Basic is a powerful tool for self-discovery and self-improvement. It measures the nine Enneagram types and the three somatic instincts. The results will give you a deeper understanding of your personality and practical strategies for personal, professional, and interpersonal growth.

Building, maintaining, and growing effective relationships are key competencies in our personal and professional lives. The BRI Basic measures the nine Enneagram types and the three somatic instincts for two people and then analyzes the personality differences. It can be used by managers and supervisors to build more effective and productive relationships with their direct reports and co-workers, or by couples to improve their relationship and communication skills. The BRI Basic is an A-Level report that is available for purchase without restriction.

The Value of Profiling

Self-awareness is the key to personal development and change. As humans we develop ways of coping in the world from early childhood. These coping mechanisms become deeply engrained and even though the passage of time may render them obsolete we still tend to use them out of habit. Getting to know your personal habits, attitudes and behaviours is both interesting and stimulating and creates a platform for understanding your strengths. Profiles such as the BTI create an ideal framewrok for coaching.

The BTI is one of a number of profiling tools used by Ignite Coaches other tools include DISC, DISC PPSS and Team Dimensions. We also use 360 assessment tools and other benchmarking systems.
