Your HumanGuide
Do you occasionally fail in recruitment and staffing?
(See below for other concerns, facts about the HumanGuide concept and the your.humanguide.se and cards.humanguide.se web apps)
Steve Jobs, who founded Apple, said this: "The first 10 people you hire determine whether a company succeeds or not". Unfortunately, when you recruit, many fail. Then you actually hire a trouble maker. Not good! You also lose time and money.
That's why it's a good idea to use our personality test both to describe what it takes to be successful for a particular job and to choose who is a good fit for the job. This can significantly reduce the risk of a bad hire. Remember: Successful companies "hire attitude and train skills", as methods are renewed more often, while personality is more stable.
Our test can also be used to describe the culture, making it easier to develop and nurture an empowering culture. You can then have a more consistent brand, which will help you attract the right customers, because consistency creates better trust.
Why do we think you should do our test? A strong argument is that the underlying theory consists of eight factors, which gives a more nuanced test result, so you can come to better conclusions. Unlike MBTI, for example, where you become one of 16 types. With DISC, you essentially become one colour. Tests based on the Big Five model are more nuanced, but they only have five basic dimensions compared to our eight. Moreover, such a test result can only predict how someone is likely to act, but not why. We can, because our test is based on a theory.
We have developed this web app your,humanguide.se, so a candidate for a job can test different options, so they (and you) significantly reduce the risk of a low Passion Index, i.e. a bad match between the candidate's personality and the job. There are several features in the app - see below.
Once the candidate has taken the test, there is a lot of supporting knowledge under the Free Knowledge tab on our website humanguide.com. In addition, the book Let Personality Bloom is available both as a book and an eBook. The first edition was published in 2003.
This methodology will certainly strengthen your brand.

Is there dissatisfaction in or with your teams?
There are some basic conditions for successful teams. Trust and respect for each other. Respect is about having a common set of values, which can be explored in different ways. Trust must be built, but how?
Primarily through understanding each other's behaviour. It is, of course, important that actions are consistent with words. One way to understand others more quickly and accurately is to use a personality test. This provides a common and more precise language, e.g. if someone uses Structure, Strength, Quality, etc., everyone who can use HumanGuide knows what they mean. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses, i.e. what others call shortcomings. We do not believe in fertilising weeds! Characteristics are neutral. What matters is how they are used. It is wiser to reinforce the positive!

Do you find it difficult to recruit good employees who also improve your organisation?
Today, it is increasingly difficult to recruit young, talented and good people. Competition for them is increasing all the time. It is therefore important to nurture and develop your brand as an employer. You can do this by minimising recruitment errors, for example by using our approach described above.
With the HumanGuide concept, there is a lot of support and tools for the entire time someone is employed, e.g. onboarding, coaching, team development, etc. This, of course, leads to all employees being able to develop well in the company/organisation. You then say that to others and...

Are all your leaders appreciated?
Speaking of leadership, a common misconception is that all good leaders are pretty much the same, which makes it wrong from the start. Certainly, there are common abilities that are important, such as results-orientation, collaboration skills, etc. Otherwise, it depends on the organisation (the task) and the conditions. The important thing is that the leader should be able to lead in his or her own way, as long as it is done with respect in co-operation with others.
A common piece of advice is to be yourself, but how do you do that? Everyone adapts more or less to their surroundings. Sometimes even too much. Especially those with low self-esteem. This can lead to losing yourself.
That's why it's important to find out what you're like "inside". Taking our test can help you do this. You can also get help from others, so they can give their views. This will help you to get a clearer picture of yourself. It gives you a kind of benchmark - a clearer 'brand'. It also contributes to increased trust, as you become more predictable. This also simplifies your leadership and you can lead in your own way.

General advice can be very wrong...
Everyone knows this, but it is often forgotten when giving advice. Instead, general advice is given, but it doesn't really take hold. For example, if you give an unstructured person advice based on improving discipline, they will not be able to follow it.
Another problem, when you forget that people are different, is that you give advice that suits your own personality. You may have learnt the golden rule from the Bible: "Whatever you want people to do to you, do it to them!" It's relevant for values, but when it comes to considering the drivers of personality, the platinum rule (invented by someone) applies: adapt advice to the recipient.
Therefore, a better approach is to build advice on the strengths of the recipient. Thanks to the HumanGuide concept, the advice then gets a quick and better foothold. Through the personality test, you can find out what the strengths of the recipient are.

Can you really be a leader in your own way?
A common piece of advice is to be yourself, but how do you do that? Everyone adapts more or less to their environment... Sometimes even too much. Especially those with low self-esteem. This can lead to losing yourself.
That's why you should find out how you are "inside". Taking our test can help you do this. You can also ask others to give their views. This will help you get a clearer picture of yourself. It gives you a kind of benchmark - a clearer 'brand'. It also helps to build trust, as you become more predictable. This also simplifies your leadership. You can lead in your own way.

Facts about the HumanGuide concept and test
Why do we think you should take our test? A strong argument is that the underlying theory consists of eight factors, which gives a more nuanced test result, so you can come to better conclusions. Unlike MBTI, for example, where you become one of 16 types. With DISC, you essentially become one colour. Tests based on the Big Five model are more nuanced, but they only have five basic dimensions compared to our eight. Moreover, such a test result can only predict how someone is likely to act, but not why. We can, because our test is based on a theory.
The test is unique in many ways, not least because it is not just a test, but because there are many kinds of support for applying the results of the test. For example, we have this web app your.humanguide.se. There is also the web app cards.humanguide.se, which you can read more about below or by going to that address and clicking the same button, as you have just done;-)
By taking our personality test, you will find it much easier to realise what is a suitable job for you. Where you can really use your strengths. At best, the job can become almost like a hobby... You also realise what tasks you should avoid...
Once you have done the associated personality test, there is a lot of supporting knowledge under the Free Knowledge tab on our website humanguide.com. In addition, the book Let your personality bloom is available both as a book and an eBook. The first edition was published in 2003. It can be purchased via adlibris.com. The eBook in English can be purchased via amazon.com.
The test is now available in 15 languages. It is most widely used in Brazil - over 500,000 tests taken since 2010. The test was approved there in 2009 by the SATEPSI authority, as the first of its kind, i.e. forced-choice and internet-based.
The apps are bilingual (Swedish and English), which you can set up when you are logged in. Below you can see in more detail how you can use the apps...
The app - your.humanguide.se - its benefits and use
How can this web app - your.humanguide.se - be useful?
Mainly it is
• you can create a good match between your personality and your job
• by learning the underlying personality theory, you will be able to better understand
the motivations of others, which in turn will make it easier for you to interact with
others
• that if you are in a couple relationship, your interaction can be improved or that you
can find a good life partner, if you are single and want a life partner...
We have developed this web app your.humanguide.se, so that you can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to
• see your PersonProfile à la HumanGuide
• manage the personal chemistry in your close circle or relationship including family
•calculate your Passion Index (the match between your personality and a job) for
your job or another job
How can you, as an individual or leader, benefit from these features of the your.humanguide.se app? Below you have some examples...
Benefits of the 0-Personality Dictionary & Advice feature
If you select this function, you will see a sub-menu where you can find out more about each of the eight factors, namely
- what does the factor mean?
- what is the chemistry of the factor?
- how can you deal with exaggeration with the factor?
- what does the factor contribute to, for example, a team?
- how should you show that you like someone with a certain factor?
- how should you communicate with someone who has a high value on a factor?
If you are a leader, there are many more areas, for example
- recruitment e.g. requirements specification
- personal assessment
- team building
- better analyses from exit interviews
- developing and nurturing culture/brand in the company or organisation
- maintaining the desired culture/brand in the company or organisation
What is the benefit of the 1-My PersonProfile feature?
Here you can view your PersonProfile and, as in our dictionary, find out more about each factor.
This basic function can be useful when you are introducing yourself to a new person with whom you will be interacting. You can even show the app to them...
Sometimes you can do a spontaneous check if you are suitable for it or not, for example if you are going to try a new hobby that seems interesting. Or you might think about the question: Why am I doing this? Etc.
What is the benefit of the feature 2-Min Personal Chemistry with ....?
It can be of great value to have access to the profiles of those who are important in your network, e.g. when someone does something unexpected, which you do not know how to handle. Through the app you can then get useful ideas... Overall, you will find it much easier to interact with those whose profiles you have here... You'll also find it easier to support their personal development...
If you are a leader, there are many more areas, for example
- who is suitable for that task?
- why do X and Y find it difficult to work together?
- will the team be good, if X replaces Y or?
- onboarding and team building
- how should I coach X?
A family can of course be seen as a team, so our recommendation is to get all family members interested in doing the test and then linking each other's profiles. When you are a parent, you should help your children to make wise choices, for example, so they learn about the Passion Index and that it should be high to have a good life. More on that in the next section...
What is the benefit of the 3-My Passionindex? feature?
This feature may be unique in the world... Very useful, but when something is radically new, there can be some inertia before people start regularly using the new way.
What's spot on is someone is looking for a job, or is not happy with their current one, or is offered a new job. In all cases, it is a strategic decision. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for that decision to be regretted after a while. It is always difficult to realise all the consequences. The purpose of the function is to provide a much better basis for decision-making, so that a better risk analysis can be made.
What needs to be done is to estimate the current job, key person e.g. manager and current culture. Hmmm. But what if I can't do that? The idea is that there is always someone who knows enough. You can then ask such a person to do the estimation, which takes about 15 min / profile. Then you just click on such a profile to get the Passion Index calculated. Of course, the calculation result should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it will be a good basis for a more detailed analysis.
The app - cards.humanguide.se - its benefits and use
That app is a part of the HumanGuide Cards, where the other part is a deck of cards with the same test questions, as in the online personality test, but Cards have complementary purposes.
You can read more about the web app cards.humanguide.se by going to that address and clicking on the same 6, which you just did and got to see this text;-)
