Insights Discovery is a psychometric profiling tool based on the psychology of Dr. Carl Jung. At BrightSkills, we have brought over 3,000 people through the system to date in our Insights Discovery one day development programme and through 1:1 coaching. Participants of Insights will complete a special online evaluator on foot of which a 23 page personal Insights profile will be generated. This is used to provide greater self awareness and aid personal and professional development. The following is a taster quiz which will help you begin to self identify your 'Insights colour preferences' and of others around you.
