Introduction to IPA Core Meta Factors
IPA Core Personality is an internationally recognised personality analysis that is an outline for a conversation where the outcome and quality is created in the dialogue between two people.
With IPA Core Meta Factors, it is possible to get behind the person’s 4 main traits and understand what the inner driver is.
They tone and colour the classic behavioural factors on each Core Factor and show the direction of how the individual uses their abilities on each Core Factor.
At the same time, Integrative Psychology reaches across the fields to look at people’s values.

Never exposing yourself and showing weakness. Seeing life as everyone’s battle against everyone else, a place where you trade something for something and where pretty much everything is for sale. Believing that the end justifies the means and doing what you want, no matter the cost. Following your own rules to get what you want.
RESPONSIBLE
Having personal standards and ideals as a driving force and point of reference for work life. Feeling a strong sense of responsibility towards other people in all contexts. Recognising and respecting others as a prerequisite for achieving your own goals. Understanding yourself by looking at your actions critically, while trying to understand others in order to learn more about yourself.
