Our personalities emerge from our genetics and are further shaped by our ongoing life experiences. Emergenetics is a unique and flexible approach to personality profiling that is based on the latest brain research. It’s easy to find out more about yourself by taking our straightforward, online Emergenetics questionnaire. From your answers, we use our innovative and proprietary system to mathematically convert your strengths into percentiles and generate a colorful Emergenetics Profile using four Thinking Attributes (Analytical, Structural, Social, and Conceptual) and three Behavioral Attributes (Expressiveness, Assertiveness, and Flexibility). Like snowflakes, each Profile is unique; a visual representation of who you are, how you think and your natural strengths. And with Emergenetics, you never have to choose one attribute over another. Our profile shows you the big picture, and can tell you a great deal about yourself and those around you.

As a whole, Emergenetics research shows that women report themselves more Social, Structural, Expressive and Flexible, while men report themselves as more Analytical, Conceptual, and Assertive. Ahh, the great gender divide.

The Emergenetics Profile is based on years of research involving over 275,000 participants. Each new profile taken is automatically scored and retained in our database, ensuring that your results represent the most accurate depiction of your thinking and behavioral attributes.

This individual has a natural gift for Analytical thinking (Blue = 40%) and Structural thinking (Green = 38%). Social (Red = 20%) and Conceptual (Yellow = 2%) thinking are not her preferred attributes. We would expect this person to be more interested in data, analysis, systems, organization, and practical solutions than in emotional issues, people problems, global concerns, or thinking outside the box. It is important to note though, that she does possess a fondness for Social thought (Red = 20%) even if it is not technically one of her preferences. In addition, every Emergenetics Profile reveals an individual’s Behavioral Attributes (Purple). In this case, she is at the near-end of the spectrum (called the “first-third”) for Expressiveness, at the middle of the spectrum (“second-third”) for Assertiveness, and at the middle of the spectrum (“second-third”) for Flexibility. This is someone who is largely in the “it-depends group,” meaning that she is comfortable in adapting her behaviors based on the situation. Overall she is focused on her projects and wants her ideas to be implemented, but is open to other points of view. She will explain her thoughts when she believes it is appropriate, but she is not the first person to speak up. Know your profile and get to know yourself.
