Insights on Values
Listen to Podcast:
In the Insight Personality Instrument, human personality is examined in 10 different categories:

- Communication
- Work
- Supervision
- Recreation

This is the first of 10 bonus issues of Insights which will give you clues as to how the four temperaments appear in each category.

What Values Are We Looking At?
In this issue of Insights we’re going to focus on values. Understanding the values (or needs) of each temperament is extremely important because it gives us insight into how people prefer to think, feel, interact, work, play, learn, teach, communicate, and supervise other people.
