Because of the biases with which we are wired, our self-assessments (and our assessments of others) tend to be highly inaccurate. Psychometric assessments are much more reliable. (1/5)
They are important in helping explore how people think during the hiring process and throughout employment. (2/5)
If I had to choose between just the assessments or just traditional job interviews to get at what people are like, I would choose the assessments. Fortunately, we don’t have to make that choice. (3/5)
Because I’m keen to help people know what they’re like, know what the people around them are like, and help them get what they want, I created PrinciplesYou with 3 great personality experts. principlesyou.com/?utm_source=Tw…
It’s free, easy, and fun to take, so check it out and let me know your thoughts. #PrinciplesYou (5/5)

Remember that people are built very differently and that different ways of seeing and thinking make people suitable for different jobs. Some ways of thinking will serve you well for some purposes and serve you poorly for others. (1/4) Image
It is highly desirable to understand one’s own and others’ ways of thinking and their best applications. Some qualities are more suitable for some jobs. (2/4)

As many of you know, one of my goals in this stage of my life is to help others be successful. For the past few years, I’ve been working with expert psychologists Dr. @AdamMGrant, Dr. Brian Little, and Dr. John Golden, to design a personality assessment. (1/4)
PrincplesYou paints a clear, comprehensive portrait of who you are and how you work with others because I believe accurate self knowledge is the key to success in work and life. (2/4)
I am thrilled to announce this innovative tool, backed by best-in-class psychometrics, is now available for free to everyone.

You’re going to want to know what you’re like, right? And, you’re going to want to know what the people around you are like, right? By knowing what you’re like, you’re going to know what to do with yourself to get what you want. (1/2) Image
By knowing what the people around you are like, you’ll know what to expect of them, and how to interact with them in the best possible way.

Knowing how you think and how others you interact with think is critical in getting what you want in both your personal life and work. 2/2

If you want to be followed, either for egotistical reasons or because you believe it more expedient to operate that way, you will pay a heavy price in the long run. When you are the only one thinking, the results will suffer.
Authoritarian managers don't develop their subordinates, which means those who report to them stay dependent.
This hurts everyone in the long run. If you give too many orders, people will likely resent them, and when you aren't looking, defy them.

If they choose to have a primarily win-win cooperative-competitive relationship, they must take into consideration what is really important to the other and try to give it to them in exchange for them reciprocating. (1/6) Image
In that type of win-win relationship, they can have tough negotiations done with respect and consideration, competing like two friendly merchants at a bazaar or two friendly teams at the Olympics. (2/6)
If they choose to have a lose-lose mutually threatening relationship they will primarily think about how they can hurt the other in the hope of forcing the other into a position of fear in order to get what they want. (3/6)

I don't use the word "leadership" to describe what I do or what I think is good because I don't believe that what most people think of as "good leadership" is effective. (1/4)
Most people think a good leader is a strong person who engenders confidence in others and motivates them to follow him/her, with the emphasis on "follow." (2/4)
The stereotypical leader often sees questioning and disagreement as threatening and prefers people do what they're told. As an extension of this paradigm, the leader bears the main burden of decision making. (3/4)
