The I.D. Questionnaire reveals a person’s natural and best way of doing things. An individual’s I.D. Result is their personal success code. It directs them to insights and practical strategies to help them achieve greater and more consistent levels of success and fulfillment, and to minimize their levels of stress and frustration.
When a person gets their 4-digit I.D. result, they get an overview of their whole I.D., drive-by-drive insights, coaching tips, plus the opportunity to find out more about:
The innate motivations that drive their actions and behaviors
What they need to be at their best in any role, relationship or situation
The natural talents they can proactively align to roles and activities
Their natural vulnerabilities and how they can best manage these
Insights and strategies for living more of life at their peak performance
Everyone has a natural and best way of doing things.
What you need to find success and fulfillment is often very different than what others need to achieve the same. When able to do things in a way that works for you - and your roles, environment and relationships support you to do this - you get to experience life at peak performance. You feel motivated and energized, get more of the results you want, and enjoy your experiences and relationships along the way.
Conversely, when required to do things in a way that doesn’t align with your innate needs, you experience stress and frustration. You feel as if you’re ‘going against the grain’. If continually required to operate ‘out of stride’, you’ll start to experience much more significant impacts on your emotional and physical health and well-being.
However, if you know what you need to be at your best, you can seek to get your needs met across all your roles, activities and relationships. And, when things pull you off-track - as they inevitably will from time to time - you’ll be able to take targeted action to get back in stride!

Understanding an I.D. Result
The digits of an I.D. Result correspond to the 4 Instinctive Drives, e.g., I.D. 6537
The combination and intensity of drives and 5’s interact to make the whole I.D.
All I.D. results are of equal value and they describe motivation not behavior.
Behavior may change over time, but drives are innate and so fixed over time.
Each of the 8 directions has its own set of needs, talents and vulnerabilities.
A 5 in a result means, at different times, behavior can reflect either direction.
