Personality Maps

Personality maps lets us learn more about each other for a richer mutual understanding and a more productive team dynamic.

A useful way to think about teams is to consider the two roles each person plays:

1. A functional role: Rooted in their utility role and technical skill,
2. A psychological role: Based on the kind of person they are.

Too often, teams focus only on the functional role and assume that good team performance is inevitable. Let's look at some other dimensions:

• What role someone has within the team,
• How some interacts with the rest of the team,
• What values and core beliefs are common and in alignment

Understanding the person as a whole can offer insights into how teams are likely to work well together, and can help highlight areas of commonality and conflict. Anything of value is delivered through a team effort.

This Interacts template creates a collaborative space with sticky notes, word clouds,  polls, and more to explore the following topics:

• If you were an animal, which would it be?
• What food do you like?
• What music genres do you like?
• What movie genres do you like?
• What are your hobbies?
• Describe your family
• What are your strengths?
• What are your weaknesses?
• When do you work well?
• And more...
