    This is such an interesting match up. I took your 360 assessment at https://www.optimalthinking.com/assess/ yesterday. It is awesome and gave me a lot more understanding of these profiles and the thinking behind them. Thanks very much for making this all available.

    Very interesting post. We’ve been using your optimal thinking assessment for 5 years now and I agree with your job profiles. We’ve found that business development people who have an EPT and OT combination are top achievers.

  • This analysis provides a sound method for gaining insight into how your thinking and actions are perceived by others unlike other ways such information can be obtained. It provides a good understanding of how to recognize your own style and enables you to consider how to improve.
