Personality Assessment

The CTNav™ approach follows a structured framework designed to determine how personality preferences manifest in professional settings. This assessment methodology utilizes a dual set of approaches, notably Reflective Behavioral Inquiry, and Personality Trait Assessment. These two methods collectively evaluate your responses across a range of career-related scenarios, helping to pinpoint the environments and roles where your potential can be fully realized.

The four Primary Personality Domains are each characterized by a distinct pair of opposing traits that influence professional life:

Interaction Styles determine whether you engage actively with others (Expressive (E)) or prefer solitude (Inner-focused (I)).
Information Dynamics assess your focus on practical details (Observant (O)) versus abstract concepts (Conceptual (C)).
Choice Frameworks explore your decision-making tendencies, highlighting logic (Analytical (A)) or emotion (Responsive (R)).
Work Modes reveal if you excel in structured environments (Structured (S)) or adapt well to flexibility (Flexible (F)).

Identifying your natural tendencies within the Primary Domains offers the foundation for understanding how preference pairs shape your professional interactions.

The assessment evaluates preference pairs to gain insights into individual tendencies and behaviors. Your preference for each pair of opposing traits reveals unique patterns that shape your professional interactions and decision-making, defining your EORS type.

Interaction Styles:

Expressive preference (E) vs. Inner-focused preference (I)

Information Dynamics:

Observant preference (O) vs. Conceptual preference (C)

Choice Frameworks:

Analytical preference (A) vs. Responsive preference (R)

Work Modes:

Structured preference (S) vs. Flexible preference (F)

Your Expressive preference (E) means you naturally tend to engage with others, unlike those with the Inner-focused preference (I), who gravitate toward introspection and solitary work.

Your Observant preference (O) indicates that you adopt a practical, detail-oriented approach to perceiving information. This contrasts with the Conceptual preference (C), which is inclined toward abstract and theoretical thinking.

Your Responsive (R) preference ensures that you are attuned to emotional cues and the needs of others in your decision-making process. This contrasts with the Analytical preference (A), which focuses on logical deduction and objective analysis.

Your Structured preference (S) naturally predisposes you to organized, predictable environments, setting you apart from the Flexible preference (F), which is suited to more dynamic and adaptable settings.

Together, these preferences shape your EORS profile, influencing how you interact, process information, make decisions, and approach work. Understanding these natural tendencies allows you to identify roles and environments that best align with your professional strengths.

Understanding the structure of the HPI's psychological functions is key to navigating the career landscape. The function stack, a concept integral to the CTNav™ model, comprises a specific hierarchy of cognitive processes that shape your professional interactions and decisions.

Dominant Function

Acting as the primary influence, Extraverted Responsive (Re) directs your engagement with external environments through empathy-driven communication and a focus on maintaining harmonious, collaborative relationships.

Auxiliary Function

Providing essential support, Introverted Observant (Oi) grounds your empathetic leadership by anchoring decisions in practical details and real-world awareness, balancing your social engagement with a pragmatic approach.

Tertiary Function

Filling a supportive role, Introverted Conceptual (Ci) enriches your profile by fostering creative problem-solving and innovative thinking, while providing a reflective counterbalance to your action-oriented functions.

Fourth Function

Operating as an underlying process, Introverted Analytical (Ai) supports your emotional and relational strengths by adding critical thinking and logical evaluation to your decision-making.

By recognizing the unique role of each function within your personality, you can harness your strengths and manage potential challenges to optimize your career path and workplace effectiveness.

This assessment evaluates key areas such as leadership, teamwork, work style, and interpersonal dynamics, alongside other relevant behavioral dimensions. Its comprehensive approach fosters an integrated understanding of how your personal traits align with professional demands, enabling tailored career recommendations that leverage your strengths effectively.
