The power of Personality Dimensions® is in the whole experience; it is part assessment and part self-discovery process. After individuals complete their assessments, they get to work with others with the same Dimensions to help clarify and reinforce their results. One of the first questions groups are asked to answer is “what are your natural strengths?” Since launching in 2004, hundreds of thousands of people have experienced a Personality Dimensions® Introductory Session. With all these people you would think that there would be a huge number of different answers to this question, but in fact we keep seeing the same ones over and over again. So here it is… the top 10 strengths each of the four Personality Dimensions® see in themselves…
It’s great that these same responses keep coming up over and over again, but what happens if you are facilitating a group, and you are missing representation from one of the Dimensions? It can easily happen; statistically there are fewer Inquiring Greens and Resourceful Oranges than there are Authentic Blues and Organized Golds. Knowing this could be a challenge, especially to new Personality Dimensions® Trainers, we created Phantom Groups – Virtual Flip-Charts for Personality Dimensions® Brightened Groups. Phantom Groups are, simply, sample representative flip-charts from previous groups.
The flip-charts selected to appear in Phantom Groups are reproductions of actual flip-charts created by Personality Dimensions® groups over an eight year period. They are typical representations, not tailored to any special groups, just as you would expect to be generated at an introductory workshop. The contents are an accurate reproduction of what each group contributed, using computer graphics to make them easier to read. Lynda McKim, who compiled the Phantom Groups charts, saved these and carried them with her to each Introductory Workshop, just in case she needed them. Now, instead of carrying an awkward mailing tube, with flip-chart papers, you only need the Phantom Groups disc in your toolbox.

Kate and I see these strengths repeatedly articulated by parents who attend our PD based workshops. This chart is a great summation of data.
