Introduction til IPA Core Personality

IPA Core is a personality analysis and is a blueprint for a conversation, where the result and the quality are created in the dialogue between two people.

The 12 personality traits of the IPA Core are divided into four main factors, each illustrated by a colour. Each core factor is to be seen as a mental platform on which we build up a series of personal experiences and skills throughout our lives, which we apply in our working lives. The four main factors are interconnected and integrated in the sense that the quality and content of what we learn and develop on one platform is dependent on what we have learned and developed on the other platforms.

We thus fundamentally see the personality as a whole in which everything is interconnected. We always interpret the individual factors in terms of this personality whole.
