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.

IPA Core – Meta Factor # 1
Self-discipline
The personalised exterior-controlled
Colour: Blue
SELF-DISCIPLINE
The basic motive is the desire to do one’s duty and perform to the best of one’s ability.
The energy comes from the desire to fulfil the expectations of those around you.
ANXIETY
Having a basic sense of anxiety and worry. Feeling like you’re always behind and not achieving what you should. Trusting yourself too little and spending a relatively large amount of energy avoiding criticism from those around you
Worrying about small things and sometimes fearing the worst. Focusing too much on the negative and reacting inappropriately with anger and irritation. Having trouble getting started and needing a push from others.
SELF-DISCIPLINE
Following your conscience and acting out of a sense of duty. Working in a disciplined and goal-orientated way and giving more than is expected. Always turning up well-prepared and finishing what you’ve started. Living up to the demands you make on yourself and constantly trying to make things better.
Accomplishing what you set out to do and resisting temptations and distractions along the way.

Colour: Red
Self-Awareness
The basic motive is the desire to live up to your own ideals and standards. To develop your awareness and competences as a prerequisite for achieving everything you can and want in life.
SELF-BENEFIT
Following your own interests and being good at recognising and using a situation to your advantage. Being wary of others, knowing that not everyone can be trusted. 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. Reflecting on who you are and working towards a higher level of self-awareness. Valuing the collaborative relationships you enter into and being convinced that deeper co-operation creates the best results.

IPA Core – Meta Factor # 3
SELF-INSIGHT
Interior & Exterior Steering
Colour: Green
Self-insight
The basic motive is the desire to achieve ever greater self-awareness as a prerequisite for understanding both oneself and one’s fellow human beings. To gain insight and understanding of people and social processes as a prerequisite for creating results. To be able to see yourself from
the inside of your being, and to see yourself from the outside and understand your own impact on a situation. The opposite pole of the scale is where emotions dominate over thought, and you lose balanced and mature social judgement and instead lose orientation in excessive care, sensitivity and overwhelming emotions
THE EMOTIONAL CONTROL
Highly emotional, often overwhelmed by the situation and has difficulty orientating. Cares a lot about other people’s feelings and forgets about themselves in order to please others. Is not very good at demanding things from others and therefore turns things against themselves. Spends a relatively large amount of energy worrying about what others think of him or her, shifting his or her attention away from him or herself. Generally shows too much consideration for others instead of valuing and respecting themselves.
INSIGHTFUL
Thinks deeply about himself or herself and the world and is aware that there are other truths than the one he or she believes in. Is inclusive and gives other people plenty of room to be who they are. Can see and view himself or herself from the outside and is aware of how others perceive his or her actions. Can put their own needs aside in favor of what the situation requires and act consciously in relation to common goals. Perceives basic insight into people and social processes as a crucial prerequisite for goal fulfilment.

IPA Core – Meta Factor # 4
SELF-REFLECTION
Consciously guided by your own values
Colour: Yellow
Selfreflection
The basic motive is the desire to do what is meaningful to both one and others. To seek meaning and find a deeper understanding of why we do what we do and why we are here. Creating a personal and systemic understanding of the deeper values and motives that create the foundation and momentum of the organisation. The opposite pole of the scale is where the universal and common is replaced by the relativistic and individual. All is equal, everyone must act on the basis of their own personal values, and the individualised goal is to seek ultimate personal freedom independent of old conventions, habits and rules.
INDIVIDUALISM
Searches very consciously for his or her authentic and genuine self, and wants to be able to fully be who he or she is. Wants to see and experience the world through his or her own eyes and from his or her own personal perspective, and therefore believes that each person must find and follow his or her own path. Seeks the ultimate personal freedom and sets others free to do as they please. Wants to be where his or her own personal values are unfolded in order to realise his or her full personal potential.
Reflective
Acts on the basis of a deep inner conviction about how the world is connected and is humble towards that which is bigger than him/herself. Wants to nderstand the big picture and thinks deeply about the reasons why we do what we do. Have a deep desire to inspire and uplift other people in their lives. Reflects on the big questions and is moved by the injustices of the world. Do what makes sense in his or her life based on a deep sense of why we are here.
