Build high-performing teams with Archetypes

Through our Potential platform, we’re able to remove a lot of the guesswork around having the right mix of personalities in your people and creativity, agility, and productivity in your teams. We do this by providing personality testing for all candidates or employees and matching them to their Archetype.

Whether you’re hiring now or want to optimise your existing staff, uncovering Archetypes is the first step to building an awesome team.

The three Archetypes

We’ve used the Big Five personality traits framework – which includes exploring openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism – to create our own unique Archetypes under which people identify.

Doer

Doers are the worker bees. They like to get things done and strive in process driven, structured environments. They enjoy being able to execute and deliver on tasks, projects, and other responsibilities, and can become hyper-focused on whatever they’re working on.
Archetype Creator

Creator

Creatives are the big ideas people. They think on their feet, crave solutions to problems and are capable of considering all the consequences. They think outside the box, typically have less resistance to change, and don’t necessarily need structure or process to operate efficiently.
Archetype Translator

Translator

Translators are the essential connecting component of every team. They’re able to discuss and understand the ideas of a Creative and translate them into executable actions for the Doer. They look at a task, delegate the appropriate activities, and then bring all those puzzle pieces together to create a final product.

Why Archetypes matter

All three Archetypes are essential to create happy and high-performing teams – and that’s where the magic lies.

Knowing someone’s Archetype gives everyone a better understanding of who they are and how they respond to the world around them. Finding the right balance of Archetypes for a team ensures you have the personalities, skill sets and natural abilities required to achieve your goals.

Benefits

  • Personality testing of candidates and employees enables them to better understand themselves and what makes them tick in a professional setting.
  • By learning individuals’ Archetypes, people can be matched to the right teams and empowered to do the type of work they excel at.
  • Archetypes act as an employee handbook for HR on how best to connect with, work alongside and manage each individual.
  • Over time, team requirements can change based on tasks, work environment and organisational maturity. The Archetype make-up required can be mapped and adapted based on those requirements.
