The simple, powerful profiling tool built for performance. Grounded in the science of psychology and decades in elite sport, Spotlight is practical, memorable and relevant to the modern world.
Most profiling tools stop at behavioural style. Spotlight goes further and also reads mindset. Put simply, some people are trying to win, and others are trying not to lose, and both can succeed when they are applied skilfully.
Spotlight explores the major dimensions of character, drawn from the brain's behavioural systems and the basic processes of motivation, learning and emotion. It combines behavioural style and mindset into what we call your Performance Preferences.
“People change when there is something to be won and lost.”
The founding idea behind Spotlight
Spotlight maps you across two dimensions, then brings them together into your Performance Preferences.
How you meet a challenge, from Contained to Optimistic and Prudent to Engaged. Are you trying to win, or trying not to lose?
How you connect and act with others, from Forceful to Empathic and Logical to eXpressive. Together with mindset, this is your Performance Preferences.
We start with your natural preferences, then move quickly to how you flex and cope. Because our weaknesses are usually our strengths over-played, and anything taken to excess becomes toxic.
Flex your behavioural style to connect with different people and situations, instead of staying stuck in a single mode.
Cope in the mindset each moment needs, so you stay effective when the pressure and the demands shift around you.
Since it was developed, Spotlight has been through academic research establishing both its validity and its reliability.
Rigorously validated using cutting-edge Bayesian analytics.
Built on two of the most researched personality models, combined with Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory, the only biological model of personality.
Adaptability is inherent to Spotlight, the concept that underpins the skills and attributes of emotional intelligence.
A performance-focused tool, designed to take individuals and teams forward, in any context.
