Assessment Tips

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.
