In the public domain there are various models of personality and temperament. These are very useful in helping to understand how people tick. Yet how people ‘think’ is hardly ever tackled as a subject in its own right even though people are paid for their brains rather than their brawn. Effective Intelligence goes straight to the heart of ‘thinking’, to the central issues of how people use their minds to do their work.

Thinking needs to be treated as the core competence of all staff, in all levels, functions and operations. A ‘common language’ of thinking, which Effective Intelligence provides, enables those who work together to look into each other’s thinking processes.

The ‘seeing’ is through a profiling questionnaire, with in-depth accuracy.  It reveals the ‘common language’ of thinking, and therefore how an individual drives their thought. This may be called Person-push. Yet regardless of how you like to deal with difficult problems, the task facing you has its own thinking-needs: Task-pull. The common language of thinking identifies with ‘maps’ the approach each task needs for its solution.

People usually learn to think as a by-product of their education in different subjects and their professional training. This reinforces a marked variety in the ways people tackle problems at work. Sometimes this brings real benefits, but sometimes terrible conflicts and very often time-wasting misunderstandings and wrong-headed false trails. Effective Intelligence brings the root causes to consciousness where they can be understood, re-shaped and re- balanced. Communications improve and the wider implications in management tackled. There have been measured examples where this has brought a positive benefit to the bottom line, from five hundred thousand to several millions.
