Why Clarity 4D?

Carl Jung, the psychologist who died in 1961, wrote an essay entitled The Stages of Life, starting with
childhood, moving through adolescence, becoming an adult, courtship and finding a partner, contributing
to the community and adult world through work and other rituals, child-rearing, advanced maturity,
preparing for old age and death.
During this life journey, we are faced with many changes and challenges, and the Clarity4D New
Direction profile is intended to give you a snap shot of who you are at this current time. The colour
energies, which are outlined overleaf, offer an easy way of understanding how we show up to other
people, and how we can adapt our behaviour to meet the needs of different situations and people we
meet along our journey.
Why 4D? The 4D is about the 4 dimensions of our development:
1st DIMENSION: DISCOVER HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF
By answering the questionnaire you have provided a current picture of how you see yourself
2nd DIMENSION: DISCUSS HOW OTHERS SEE YOU
Other people may see you differently share your profile with them and talk.
3rd DIMENSION: DIGEST THE FEEDBACK
Having thought about how you see yourself and what others see in you, you can think about getting to
know yourself even better by unlocking your potential.
4th DIMENSION: DIRECTION/DEVELOPMENT (giving myself choice)
Change doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and commitment to decide the right direction and then to
stick to the direction you have chosen.

Understanding The Background

This Clarity4D profile is compiled from a set of statements that is unique to Ann Other.
The idea of personality profiling is not new; it has been around since the Ancient Greeks.
The Link from the Ancient Greeks
Using the idea from the Ancient Greeks of the four elements, Water, Earth, Fire and Air, and the energy
that is created by those four elements, the Clarity4D model has been linked to the four psychological
types identified by Carl Jung, and our preferred way of behaving. The concept of colour has also been
added to help the reader recognise and remember the different types of personality.
INTROVERTED PREFERENCES are represented
by Water and Earth energies that are hidden
beneath the surface i.e. sea or soil
(WATER) BLUE energy is shown by people
who are introspective and reserved. They like to
observe others and think before taking action.
They are happy in their own company, and can
give an independent, detached analysis, which can
sometimes give the impression of aloofness.

EXTRAVERTED PREFERENCES are represented

by Fire and Air energies that are above the
surface
(FIRE) RED energy is demonstrated by
people who are highly energetic and actionorientated. They are positive, straight-talking and
assertive. They tend to be goal-focussed and enjoy
the challenge of achieving quick results. They are
pragmatic thinkers who have an objective
approach which can sometimes overlook the
needs of other people.

(EARTH) GREEN energy is observed in

(AIR) YELLOW energy is displayed by

people who are warm and friendly in an understated way. They value close relationships and will
be loyal and supportive of their family and friends.
They like to create a harmonious atmosphere and
prefer consensus to confrontation, which can
sometimes make them appear indecisive and laidback.

people who are out-going, sociable and fun-loving.

They particularly enjoy the company of other likeminded people and frequently stand out in a
crowd, often enjoying being the centre of attention.
They are persuasive, charming and can
sometimes overwhelm people with their
enthusiastic energy.

As individuals we are a mixture of these four elements, but we have a preference for using some of the
energies over others, and the Clarity4D profile will identify which these preferences are, and how we can
adapt and use the energies to meet the needs of different people and situations in our personal and
professional lives. At the end of the profile is an action plan designed for Ann to complete and work on a
future personal development strategy.

The 4 Dimensions of Ann Other

These pages give an overview of Anns personal style and some insight into how she works with people
and tasks.

1st Dimension: Discover how you see yourself

What's Ann like?
Her knowledge and expertise may impress others and she may be unaware of this. She doesn't enjoy
pointless chit chat and likes facts and logic in an argument, which can make her seem to be inflexible. She
is careful in the way she handles facts and figures. She will work at everything in a focused and organised
way.
She is hard working and has a persistent attitude to improve an idea. She has an intellectual mind and
enjoys studying for its own sake. When making judgements, Ann trusts her five senses rather than relying
on imaginative ideas. Highly competent at her duties, her commitment to work can go unrecognised
because of her quiet style. She works to very high levels of accuracy, especially in terms of facts and
figures and to help her achieve this, she needs a quiet environment. Ann likes to really understand the
mechanics of why things work. She is artistic and likes quality in style and design in all areas of living and
the arts.
She has a high sense of loyalty and dedication which results in a strong commitment to her family,
organisation and people in general. Because her approach is very technical, she is more interested in why
things work, rather than the people side. Ann is careful in her attention to detail. She will conscientiously
complete all her tasks. She may find it difficult to approach people when she is in need of company, this
may cause her to become even more inward looking. Her confidence goes when she thinks about all the
things that are needed to achieve the high standards she sets herself.
Ann is prepared to go the extra mile in order to satisfy her need to be helpful. She is thoughtful, private and
detached with a reserved air about her. She can appear very reserved to people who are not close to
her. She prefers not to show her true feelings and yet can feel deeply about people and situations.
Her ideas may not always come off unless she can find someone else to carry them out. She seems to
some people to be a very reserved person, wrapped up with procedures and systems. It is important to her
that plenty of time is planned for chilling out with friends and enjoying life. Ann is a clever and creative
problem solver. Ann is seen by others as being self-sufficient and private. She is aware and remembers
important details and events. Others need to be certain of their facts.

Continued
How does Ann get on with other people?
By keeping an open mind to new ideas, she could learn more and become more effective. She can be
distrustful of what can be behind a friendly, smiling approach. She finds it frustrating dealing with people
who are less capable than her. She prefers her own company to being an active member of the team.
Ann may show affection rather than say it and her friendships are more intellectual than emotional. She
should be careful to consider other people's feelings and should become more open to new ideas. She is
often wrapped up in her current theory and likes to keep herself to herself. Others may see her as a private
and guarded person. She may sometimes feel guilty at not turning up to social events because she prefers
her own company. She doesn't like to show her true feelings to other people.
She may need to be more assertive with more people, not just the ones she knows well. She may find it
difficult to talk to other people on a personal level. She doesn't like poor behaviour and slapdash work from
other people and will speak out about it. She may think of lively, outward-going people as being light-weight
and shallow. Ann prefers to work with facts and processes rather than people and is cautious about
developing relationships.

The best sort of environment or work for Ann is...

She may enjoy a job where her ideas and thoughts are welcomed. She is good at detail and spotting errors
and would suit a job where these skills are valued. She likes a role where her knowledge can be challenged
and extended. She can work in an environment where she doesn't need other people around her.
Ann gets on with the job and does well when there are few outside distractions. She likes working with a
team where her liking of accuracy is shared by others. She believes that everyone in a team should be
responsible for playing their part. Ann prefers things to be well planned and organised. A good job for her is
one where facts are the basis for making decisions. She finds it helpful to have written and agreed
objectives.
Her preferred job would allow her to spend time collecting all the data she wants. She likes decision making
to be impersonal and rational. Projects and teams benefit from her organised and methodical
approach. Ann probably feels most comfortable in a job where there are processes and systems to
follow. She works best in a role where her skills of analysis are used.
