Personality and personality type according to TwentyFive

The personality of a person is almost like a fingerprint…almost. Of course, one cannot clearly identify someone solely based on their personality as it is subject to daily variations. Nonetheless, it expresses our current motivations and basic needs. The better someone understands us and respects our needs, the more understandable and closer they appear to us. Understanding, closeness, and mindfulness have a lot to do with responding to the needs of others.

TwentyFive is a modern method for measuring personality traits. It is 100% free of judgments: every person is unique, and there is nothing inherently “good” or “bad” about that. Even though there are no two people in this world who are exactly alike, it is practical to form groups of different personalities. With such a thinking model, we can handle things much more easily than with an infinite number of possibilities. TwentyFive distinguishes 22 Personality types with different communicative needs.

Analyses and experiments have shown for many years that “hiding” one’s personality does not work. It resonates in every communication. From everything I write or tell, my individual motivations and needs seem to emerge. Of course, these vary somewhat depending on my “daily form” … but that is exactly what matters, for example, in responding to an email. In colloquial terms, it is important how the other person is “doing right now,” because I want to reach him and communicate with him now.

It is therefore obvious to look for the personality of the author with a text analysis. With this knowledge, one can approach communication partners mindfully and better reach them by focusing on their needs. Of course, this does not mean “suppressing” one’s own personality, as we cannot hide it anyway…

By using the TwentyFive text anlysis from sense.AI.tion the individual motivations and basic needs of the author can be quickly recognized. The easiest way to use it is through Audienca , a free tool that can analyze short texts within seconds. A chain of AI systems decrypts the psychological backgrounds and provides a simple, understandable overview. It includes references to the TwentyFive Knowledge-Base , here brief and vivid explanations of the communication needs of people of each personality type can be found.

Detecting the TwentyFive personality type with Audienca

It is quickly and easily explained how to perform the described analysis with Audienca. The article “ Analyzing text without bookmarklet ” describes this a bit more detailed. In the end, the section to be analyzed is simply copied into the input field on the page https://audienca.com/mask/ and Audienca is started.

First, select the section of text to be analyzed and copy it to the clipboard.

Next, paste the text from the clipboard into the input field on the Audienca website.

Clicking on the Start button will start the processing and the analysis result can be used. Simple and understandable explanations can be found in the TwentyFive Knowledge-Base .

What does the result say about the author?

In the case of the previous example, the author has created and published a mindful-communication-badge . It helps to achieve the goal of mindful communication. When inserted into the signature of an email, for example, the mindful communication badge refers, through a barcode and link, to a brief description that explains the sender’s communicative needs in a way that is understandable to everyone. This gives all conversation partners the opportunity to prepare themselves to communicate mindfully with each other.

This badge provides a good basis for comparison with the result of the Audienca analysis.

Based on the observation, the mindful-communication-badge n its essential statements resembles the results of the analysis of the text. Both are dominated by the basic needs rationality/knowledge and recognition . They are important characteristics of the author’s personality.

If, for example, the author wants to address an audience whose dominant basic need is belonging , then in the text, they should restrain themselves a bit in terms of rationality and recognition and focus more on the need for belonging… Of course, this is not easy, but the attempt to do so in the spirit of mindful communication is definitely worth it
