The Assessment

The SHEER Personality assessment

Are you ready to see your patterns clearly? The SHEER Personality assessment asks you to respond to a series of statements about how you work, relate, and decide. There are no right or wrong answers. Your responses place you along five relational dimensions that provide insight into how you show up in the world and how you relate to those around you.

The five dimensions

SHEER Personality measures five dimensions of personality. Each one is a spectrum, not a box or a category. Every point along every spectrum carries its own strengths and tradeoffs.

  1. 01Structure: Structured ↔ Adaptive

    Some people plan the route before they take it. Others find it as they go.

  2. 02Harmony: Harmonizing ↔ Challenging

    Some people move to protect connection first. Others move toward the truth of a thing first, and trust the connection to hold.

  3. 03Expression: Expressive ↔ Reflective

    Some people think out loud. Others process internally before they speak.

  4. 04Emotional Permeability: Permeable ↔ Grounded

    Some people feel the room the moment they walk in. Others remain steady when emotions run high around them.

  5. 05Receptivity: Receptive ↔ Selective

    Some people are wide open to the unconventional. Others trust what’s known and tested.

Your position on all five dimensions plots into a shape. That's your Constellation.

Your Insight Map

Your Insight Map details that shape back to you: what each dimension looks like from the inside, where it works in your favor, and where it gets misread by people who operate differently. You can access your full Insight Map for free when you take the free assessment.

Beyond your report

Put your results to work

Understanding your own patterns is the starting point. Most of the friction in your life happens between you and someone specific. That’s why SHEER Personality is designed to go beyond your individual results to provide you with tools that create actionable opportunities to better understand yourself and improve your relational intelligence skills.

Overlays

An Overlay puts your Constellation and someone else's on the same chart. Whether you want to get a better understanding between co-founders, team members, or a partner at home, an Overlay provides insights between you and someone else.

Overlaying your Constellation with someone else’s instantly provides a visual map of where you sit in relation along the five dimensions. Then you get a read on that specific relationship: how each of you likely experiences the other, where the ease comes from, where friction tends to show up.

Insight Guide

Your Insight Guide answers specific questions based on your individual result.

Ask about a pattern you keep repeating. Ask what your Constellation says about the environment you're in. Ask why you keep running into conflict in the same scenario, even when different people are involved. Your Map and Constellation make up your full report: they describe how you relate to and are interpreted by others. Your Guide goes further to break down specific scenarios and situations based on your results, providing answers to your questions in real time, whenever you need more clarity.

Privacy

Overlays and Insight Guide conversations are always private, even when someone shares their constellation with you. They won’t see the questions you ask about them; you won’t see the questions they ask about you. Your relationships are always protected.
