Why Are You Like That?
In the early days of TetraMap development, we shyly slipped the four Elements into a training session, introducing it as an icebreaker or quick get-to-know-each-other activity called Why Are You Like That? Never presuming it would replace other personality models used in the corporate environment, we believed that making the small difference that it did was enough.
After using other behavioural instruments for a number of years,
I've found that the model has added excellent value to our training and
consultancy business. We now use the Why Are You Like That? Workbooks. It is
well received and aids in changing perceptions, attitudes and behaviours.

More recently, feedback and visible, tangible results have given us confidence that the TetraMap warrants a place in many Human Resources and organisational Development programs. As the metaphor of Nature becomes more meaningful and the integrity of the model extends beyond behavior to a systems thinking approach to organisational issues, the TetraMap has come to stand on its own. Research and data gathering are happening, but in the meantime, there's no excuse for waiting. The TetraMap is about doing something now to improve communication, to explore new perspectives and to find holistic solutions to personal, workplace, community and global challenges.
I was on a personal visit to Washington DC these past few days
and serendipitously was exposed to a new self evaluation tool which seems far
more effective than MBTI, True Colors, etc. It is simpler to use by both the
individual and the facilitator, and is quite inexpensive. The first order
results are instantaneously effective and can be applied in any scenario,
meeting, class, etc.; in fact any circumstance involving human interaction.

I have had great fun with the elements. I have taken Myers-Briggs and other
personality tests, but the elements are the easiest to relate to real life.

In my training with people from all walks of life - corporate, non-corporate
and young people - I have found the Why Are You Like That? Process to be very
easy to use. After trialing the package, Scouting New Zealand has now
incorporated it into their Advanced Leader Training Program, replacing an
existing behavioral model. [The TetraMap] is a fresh approach to introducing
behavioral characteristics and its strength is in the value placed in people's
uniqueness.

I am now shocked at how in-tune with my values and personality I am. Coming
from a Psychology studies background, I approached this TetraMap ideology with
more than the proverbial grain of salt. I found that the exercises led to great
clarity and understanding of my nature which can be placed into any individual
or teamwork context. Big ups!
