Why Potential Analysis?

Want to better understand yourself and your personality? Do you face challenges in certain (work) situations and can't quite figure out why? Looking to develop yourself and identify areas of potential and growth?

Why Potential Analysis - Self-Discovery and Development

How Can Potential Analysis Help You?

We all know the feeling: One day we're frustrated about not meeting task requirements, the next day we think "Wow!" and are amazed by our own capabilities. Often, though, we can't quite explain why one situation or relationship works so well while others seem to struggle.

The esc Profile addresses exactly this point. Every person has thinking and motivational preferences, as well as values and fundamental attitudes that unconsciously guide them and shape their personality. These unconscious aspects are deeply anchored in our psyche and cannot be discovered through intensive self-reflection alone – that's where potential analysis helps.

Using the Graves value model and metaprogram analysis, packaged in targeted questioning techniques, unconscious values, fundamental attitudes, thinking and motivational preferences become visible and conscious. The potential analysis provides feedback on your way of seeing and understanding the world, how you motivate yourself, what activates you, and what's important in your life.

The Dual Benefit of Potential Analysis

This helps you better understand why you feel comfortable and excel in one work situation while struggling to work productively with a particular colleague. The benefit of potential analysis is twofold:

  • Position Assessment: You see where your strengths lie, which people and work situations suit you, or where there's still "room for improvement." Your unconscious attitudes and potential become conscious, enormously strengthening your self-awareness.
  • Improved People Skills: The moment you remove the "lens" of perception and consciously recognize your own patterns, you become more open to perceiving others. You become more attentive to how other people tick and their way of being in the world. Enhanced self-awareness on the personality level simultaneously leads to increased people skills on the relationship level.

The Impact of Self-Awareness

What you'll notice afterward is that you handle many situations differently. It enriches your possibilities in life. Perhaps you're living out old (family) patterns or collective patterns adopted from friends. Through gained self-awareness, you recognize these perceptual patterns and increasingly find your authentic self. You open the door to positive and enriching self-development.
