WIDP: The Key to Maximizing Individual and Group Success

Interviews show you the mask. The WIDP shows you the person behind it. Discover how this temperament-based assessment helps teams hire smarter, communicate better, and support real growth.

SAN ANTONIO, November 17 – Everyone is bound to take a personality quiz in their lifetime. We answer questions with the expectation that they will reveal parts of ourselves. Did it make us feel seen? Did we find out we are more Autumn than Spring, or similar to a favorite character? What it did not do was help us understand ourselves beneath the surface.

Human beings often carry preconceived notions of who we are and, in turn, how others perceive us; we refer to this as our “personality.” We wear our personalities like masks, putting them on in different situations to interact with the world. However, the true you is the person behind the mask, also known as your temperament. Temperament is our innate tendency in how we respond to the world, and it has influenced our emotional and behavioral patterns since birth. Understanding temperament equips us with a toolkit to handle situations and challenges in our day-to-day. After we identify our innermost needs and desires, we can trace the root of our issues and make adjustments in our lives that better suit us. A way to discover your temperament is by taking Worley’s Identity Discovery Profile (WIDP).

Unlike traditional assessments that offer general personality labels, Worley’s Identity Discovery Profile (WIDP) reveals the motivations and drivers beneath the surface. These personalized insights allow us to proactively manage conflict, engage our unique talents, and communicate effectively in all interactions.  To combat personal bias, we encourage our candidates, clients, and staff to take the WIDP, an assessment designed to foster meaningful, actionable growth by helping individuals understand themselves at their core.

The WIDP assessment identifies our temperaments in three fundamental areas of life: social/work needs, responsibility/decision-making needs, and deep relationship needs.

Outside of understanding self, the WIDP also becomes a powerful tool for hiring managers when they combine an awareness of an individual’s needs with their work history and life experiences. At PRC Resources, our recruiters use it to decode an individual’s true character beyond behavioral bias. During the screening process, they learn not only who they are interviewing, but what that person will be like six months down the line. Our recruiters can identify a person’s strengths and challenges, and learn the best way to coach them toward a complete sense of self; PRC recommends WIDP for executive coaching, employee retention and turnover, change management, talent acquisition, and training for frontline supervisors and middle management.

While regular personality tests describe superficial masks, the WIDP interprets a deeper level of desires that influence how we interact with the world around us. By comparing our unique design to life situations, we can identify our problem areas and move toward finding solutions, including developing our strengths, minimizing weaknesses, and creating meaningful change. Fulfillment begins with self-discernment, and the WIDP provides us with the tools to thrive at work and at home.
