What is a team session?

A team session is a meeting where a coach or manager gives the team insight into personality, strengths, and collaboration. Team members discuss how they see each other and how to use each other’s strengths. Understanding differences improves cooperation and motivation.

When team members understand each other well and know one another’s communication style, as in the 4-color model (blue, red, yellow, and green), they work together more effectively. This leads to higher motivation, fewer mistakes and less absenteeism, and a pleasant working environment for colleagues and customers.

A team session with 4 colors

For 15 years, The Bridge Personality has been the most popular 4-color personality test for companies and organizations. You do not need special training or a license to use it. This test is also very practical for teams, because we provide a dedicated team report. HR professionals and coaches find this test very suitable. You can order per candidate or use an account on our online platform.

This personality test, The Bridge Personality, uses a simple and clear 4-color model (blue, red, yellow, green) to show behavioral preferences. The test supports the development of work performance, both individually and for teams and the entire organization. It clearly shows the strengths of employees.

With TestGroup's team workshop package you can organize a team session yourself. Each team member receives a personal Bridge Personality report and the team receives a team report. Presentation slides from TestGroup for your workshop are included. Everything you need is in the package, so you can get started right away

The 8 types in the 4 color personality wheel

In addition to the four colours, The Bridge Personality also works with eight personality types. Each type is a blend of two adjacent colour energies and provides a more detailed picture of how people communicate, decide and collaborate. These types are displayed in the 4 color personality wheel. The types are: The Auditor (Blue), The Planner (Blue/Green), The Connector (Green), The Mediator (Green/Yellow), The Visionary (Yellow), The Entrepreneur (Yellow/Red), The Director (Red) and The Change Agent (Red/Blue). By using these eight types in a team session, organisations gain deeper insight into individual strengths and blind spots, making it easier to improve teamwork, assign roles effectively and guide personal development.

Frequently asked questions about the team session with the 4 color Bridge Personality test
  • How does The Bridge Personality 4 color model work?

  • The Bridge Personality links four recognizable colors to different behavior and communication styles. Each team member receives a color profile that shows which colors are dominant and which are less present. These colors are based on underlying personality scales from The Bridge Personality, so you get both a simple 4 color language and a detailed personality profile in one test.

  • How is The Bridge Personality different from Insights Discovery and other 4 color tests?

  • Insights Discovery and other 4 color tests usually work with only one type based model and a limited number of scales. The Bridge Personality combines the 4 color model with a full Big Five based personality questionnaire and the 16 Jung Types. This gives you both an easy color language for daily use and a deep, scientific personality profile for HR decisions.

  • Why is The Bridge Personality better suited for HR than many other 4 color tests?

  • Many 4 color tests are mainly designed for training and coaching. The Bridge Personality is developed specifically for professional use in HR, selection and development. The test offers detailed norm groups, reliability data and clear competency scores that you can use in recruitment, talent development and leadership programs, not only in workshops.

  • What are the advantages of The Bridge Personality compared to Insights Discovery in a team session?

  • Compared to Insights Discovery, The Bridge Personality usually offers more detailed personality information, more scales and the option to link results directly to competencies and job profiles. You can use the same test and reports both for a team workshop and for individual coaching, assessment and development, which makes it more flexible and cost efficient for organizations.

  • How does The Bridge Personality differ from DISC and other simple 4 color tools?

  • DISC and other simple 4 color tools often measure a limited number of dimensions and are less strongly linked to modern personality research. The Bridge Personality uses normative and ipsative measurement, is based on the Big Five and Jungian theory, and provides extensive validation data. As a result, the 4 color profile is not a stand alone model, but part of a complete, scientifically underpinned personality test.

  • Can we still use our existing Insights or DISC language together with The Bridge Personality?

  • Yes, many teams that have worked with Insights or DISC easily switch to The Bridge Personality. The basic idea of colors and behavior is similar, so the model feels familiar. At the same time, you can go deeper with the extra Bridge Personality scales, competencies and type profiles. In practice, teams often experience this as an upgrade of their existing color language.

  • What is included in a team session with the 4 color Bridge Personality test?

  • A typical team session includes an online test for each team member, individual 4 color reports, a team report, a practical workshop program and ready to use presentation slides. During the session, you work with exercises, discussions and concrete action points that are tailored to your team and its daily work situation.

  • Do we need certification to work with The Bridge Personality in a team session?

  • You do not need a formal certification to use a ready made team session with The Bridge Personality. Often an HR professional, manager or internal coach can guide the session with the available materials. If you want to work more broadly with The Bridge Personality in your organization, you can choose to follow a training to deepen your knowledge and skills.

  • For which teams is a 4 color Bridge Personality team session suitable?

  • The session is suitable for a wide range of teams, such as management teams, project teams, sales teams, customer service teams, care teams and support departments. It works for smaller teams from about three people and can be scaled up for larger groups, for example in company wide team days or offsite meetings.

  • Is the 4 color Bridge Personality test scientifically validated?

  • Yes, The Bridge Personality is based on the Big Five model and the 16 Jung Types, uses both normative and ipsative questions and is regularly validated on large, international norm groups. This gives you a professional instrument that goes further than many commercial color tools and offers reliable insights for your organization.

  • Can the team session with the 4 color Bridge Personality test be done online?

  • Yes, the team session can be organized on site or fully online. Team members complete the test digitally and receive their reports by email. The workshop can then take place via an online meeting platform, using the same slides, team report and interactive exercises that you would use in a live session.

  • What is a team session with the 4 color Bridge Personality test?

  • A team session with the 4 color Bridge Personality test is a workshop in which all team members complete The Bridge Personality and receive a 4 color profile. In the session, you work with individual reports and a team report to discuss communication styles, strengths, blind spots and preferred ways of working together. The goal is to improve cooperation and understanding in a practical, accessible way.
