In Matthew 22:27 (KJV)
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
As the war in Ukrainian continues and perhaps ghosts of Nazi and Holocaust past wake to settle old scores consider the following activities and organizations along with their operations. In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the dawn of the surveillance, social media and information age, we recommend the following:
Know what these tests are used for
Know where your data goes
Know with who your data is shared
Know what these (Mindsonar) companies do and how they operate
Obtain full disclosure
Know your rights
Know your faith and what you believe
Discuss your beliefs and such activities with your religious leaders and elders
During a medical documentary a students disclosed that online and in school they were asked to take a test. Following the test, for those who took it in school, some were admitted to the hospital without their parents knowledge. Others who took random tests online were issued a prescription and then aggressively pursued for medical treatment leaving confused parents to grapple with the proper protection of their children in the face of aggressive medical tactics and in some cases spouses. These students and parents cautioned to know and exercise your rights. Some people died as a result of these activities, they were lucky to have survived.
Introduction to MindSonar®
If I asked you to imagine an X-ray machine for the mind that could actually measure how diverse people think, what would you do with it? Well, that tool is MindSonar® it is the only web based psychological system that measures cognitive diversity.
Someone’s thinking style is made up of a combination of Metaprograms, making up a unique personal system. Graves Drives describe what they find important, their values or criteria that they measure others by or themselves by. Their Metaprograms determine their behaviour and their emotions in a given situation.
Who Uses It? MindSonar® is being used all over the world by consultants, coaches, trainers and organisational developers. MindSonar® Psychometrics helps get to the heart of a clients thinking.
MindSonar® is being used in prestigious organisations like the armed forces of the Netherlands (in their leadership development course), a top European automobile manufacturer (sales), and has been used in the Olympic Dressage team (team-building), which actually won 20% of all Dutch medals in the London Olympics of 2012 and in one of Europe’s premier banks (marketing). And there have been many non-commercial applications of MindSonar® as well; it is also used in volunteer groups, day care centres and schools.
A different kind of test MindSonar® is not a personality test. Personality tests will tell you what you are like as a person; always and under any circumstances. Many people feel limited and ‘put in a box’ by these kinds of tests. Some personality tests will even say how ’healthy or sick’ your personality is. MindSonar® measures how you think in a specific situation. It assumes that you will think differently in different situations. MindSonar® does not assume that any thinking style is good or bad. Every thinking style has their time and place where they can be helpful.
Where does the name ‘MindSonar®’ come from? The term ‘MindSonar®’ uses sonar technology as an analogy. Sonar shows us objects that cannot be seen by observing the surface of the water, and it requires an expert to understand the exact nature of those objects.
What do you get from MindSonar®? A 30 page in-depth profile of how individuals think in a given context that makes the invisible visible.
Used by professionals only You will not find MindSonar® as a do-it-yourself test on the web. MindSonar® is offered exclusively through a network of trained and certified professionals. The combination of the measurement and the professional is much more powerful than just the measurement by itself.
