Why Clarity 4D?

Life is a journey and if we can work out where we are starting from and where we want to go, it maybe helpful when making decisions about the right direction.

The Clarity4D profile is intended to give you a snap shot of you at base camp. The colour energies,which are outlined overleaf offer an easy way of understanding how we show up to other people, andhow we can adapt our behaviour to meet the needs of different situations and people we meet in life.

Why4D

? The 4D is about the 4 dimensions of our development:

1st DIMENSION: DISCOVER HOW YOU SEE YOURSELFBy answering the questionnaire you have provided a current picture of how you see yourself

2nd DIMENSION: DISCUSS HOW OTHERS SEE YOUOther people may see you differently share your profile with them and talk.

3rd DIMENSION: DIGEST THE FEEDBACKHaving thought about how you see yourself and what others see in you, you can think about gettingto know yourself even better by unlocking your potential.

4th DIMENSION: DIRECTION/DEVELOPMENT (giving myself choice)Development doesnt happen overnight. It takes time and commitment to decide the right directionand then to stick to the direction you have chosen.

Understanding The Background

This Clarity4D profile is compiled from a set of statements that is unique to Tom Mason.

The idea of personality profiling is not new; it has been around since the Ancient Greeks.

The Link from the Ancient Greeks

Using the idea from the Ancient Greeks of the four elements, Water, Earth, Fire and Air, and theenergy that is created by those four elements, the Clarity4D model has been linked to the fourpsychological types identified by Carl Jung, and our preferred way of behaving. The concept ofcolour has also been added to help the reader recognise and remember the different types ofpersonality.

INTROVERTED PREFERENCESare representedby Water and Earth energies that are hiddenbeneath the surface i.e. sea or soil

EXTRAVERTED PREFERENCESarerepresented by Fire and Air energies that areabove the surface

(WATER) BLUEenergy is shown by people

who are introspective and reserved. They like toobserve others and think before taking action.They are happy in their own company, and cangive an independent, detached analysis, whichcan sometimes give the impression of aloofness.

(FIRE) REDenergy is demonstrated by

people who are highly energetic and action-orientated. They are positive, straight-talkingand assertive. They tend to be goal-focussedand enjoy the challenge of achieving quickresults. They are pragmatic thinkers who havean objective approach which can sometimesoverlook the needs of other people.

(EARTH) GREENenergy is observed in

people who are warm and friendly in an under-stated way. They value close relationships andwill be loyal and supportive of their family andfriends. They like to create a harmoniousatmosphere and prefer consensus toconfrontation, which can sometimes make themappear indecisive and laid-back.

(AIR) YELLOWenergy is displayed by

people who are out-going, sociable and fun-loving. They particularly enjoy the company ofother like-minded people and frequently standout in a crowd, often enjoying being the centreof attention. They are persuasive, charming andcan sometimes overwhelm people with theirenthusiastic energy.

As individuals we are a mixture of these four elements, but we have a preference for using some ofthe energies over others, and the Clarity4D profile will identify which these preferences are, and

how we can adapt and use the energies to meet the needs of different people and situations in ourpersonal and professional lives. At the end of the profile is an action plan designed for Tom tocomplete and work on a future personal development strategy.

Continued

How does Tom get on with other people?

He will be a long term friend if he doesn't feel too tied down and is allowed to withdraw every now and

again. He doesn't like asking for help and will prefer not to, which means he may be missing out onthings. Tom has a high sense of responsibility which is natural to him, and he thinks others should bethe same. Tom may show affection rather than say it, and his friendships are more intellectual thanemotional. He is quite detached and may think incorrectly that other people like to be approached inthe same unemotional way. Tom is very reliable. He will not got back on his word.

It may take him a while to get involved in a group, as he likes do this slowly. He likes to know that hehas a special and unique contribution to give. He needs to talk about what he wants in life rather thanbrooding on missed opportunities. He may find it stressful if things are changed at short notice andhe doesn't know what is expected of him.

He may need to be more assertive with more people, not just the ones he knows well. He will stick toprocedures and becomes frustrated with other people who do not follow the rules. Tom evaluatesmost situations and people. Tom likes a calm atmosphere and prefers to work with people similar tohimself. Tom is easy going and supports his friends and team mates.

The best sort of environment or work for Tom is...

He prefers acalm environment where he can get on and do the job. He prefers an environment where the pace

allows for internal reflection.

With his own preference for orderliness, he likes to work with people who are equally reliable and wellorganised.

Thesort of organiation that would suit him is somewhere where new initiatives are welcome.

He needs to be able to have space to store information. A good environment for him to work in wouldbe one that is professional, but informal.
