Discover your Perception

In the previous test you learned which one of your senses is the most dominant filter for the 2,000,000 bits of information that are bombarding your senses every second. The following test gives an indication as to how you take that information and act upon it (metaprograms).

When I do relationship therapy this is one of many test that is a good indicator of whether the problem is one of communication based on their partners different metaprograms.

Mostly As

If you answered mostly As then you are classed as a sensor. This means you like detail and are attracted to facts. You like order and probably have rules about how things are to be done. A typical sensory argument would be:-

"I have told him a thousand time to squeeze the toothpaste from the end and to put the lid back on and yet he still forgets! He knows it drives me mad, yet he cant be bothered. I am sure he does it just to annoy me!"

Mostly Bs

If you answered mostly Bs then you are classed as an intuitor. You tend to love ideas more than hard facts and may well be more imaginative than practical. You will tend not to have hard and fast rules about things and will start with the big picture and then build the detail if you have to. A typical intuitor argument would be:-

"Its not that I cant be bothered about the toothpaste, my mind goes elsewhere when I am brushing my teeth. I just dont think its that important, whats the big deal anyway its only toothpaste!"

Learning each others metaprograms is the first step to a better relationship is one of the many techniques utilised during therapy. Our lives are run by metaprograms and there are many more simple tests similar to the above. Please contact me if you wish to know more or book an appointment.
