Introduction til IPA Core Personality
IPA Core is a personality analysis and is a conversation starter where the outcome and quality is created in the dialog between two people.
The 12 personality traits of the IPA Core Analysis are divided into four main factors, each illustrated in a different color. Each core factor should be seen as a mental platform on which we build a range of personal experiences and skills throughout our lives, which we apply in the workplace. The four main factors are connected and integrated in such a way 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.
Thus, we fundamentally perceive the personality as a whole, where everything is interconnected. We always interpret the individual factors based on this personality whole.
