Why is Energy so important?

why energy is so important

An individual’s Energy Profile helps you identify not just their strengths, attributes and personality, but also what most motivates them… where they get their energy.

The ability to find and sustain energy is critical to achievement. Energy describes the desire, emotion, enthusiasm and passion we feel for the things we do. And when it comes to performance and achievement, energy is what matters most, especially in long-term pursuits.

Why you should measure

engagement energy

The word “engagement” describes the energy this individual has for the things they do and the journeys they’re on. Over time, that energy will ebb and flow. Sometimes they’ll feel highly engaged, and other times, they’ll feel disengaged.

Disengagement can be small, like lacking motivation to do something specific. It can also happen at a larger level, like becoming disengaged from a long-term goal or objective.

It can even happen on a macro level, like becoming disengaged from work, in a relationship, or with life itself.

Prolonged disengagement can be catastrophic to the outcomes and objectives of this individual’s life that really matter.

This individual’s ability to sustain energy in the things that matter most is critical to long-term success. We sometimes call it grit, perseverance, tenacity or “stick-to-it-iveness”!

But because disengagement happens slowly, by degrees and over time, they tend to not notice it until it’s too late or until a lot of damage has been done.

This individual’s Energy Profile will tell you what Elements most motivate them. They can then take the Engagement Assessment to know how engaged they are, based on those Elements. They can know what’s driving their engagement, what’s creating disengagement, and most importantly, what they can do about it!

What are the 16 Elements?

what are the 16 Elements

Over the last 20 years, Life Engineering has been on a mission to understand what drives human achievement, and how to help people identify, access and achieve their full potential.

Our research has indicated there are three main categories that impact achievement. These include:

Time – How much time someone gives, how they use that time, and how productive they are with that time
Talent – What applicable skills that person has or develops that they can apply
Energy – The motivation, drive, commitment, enthusiasm and level of engagement that person feels for what they’re doing

We particularly wanted to dive deep into the category of Energy and motivation, because what we found is that when someone has more Energy for something, they tend to give it more time, and be better with the time they spend on it. They also tend to develop more Talent for that thing, and have a natural propensity to develop that talent.

We found that when it comes to achievement, between Time, Talent and Energy… Energy matters most. This is especially true for an objective or initiative that happens over a longer period of time. We call these Journeys.

Because of the importance of Energy on achievement, we did extensive research to identify what motivates people, where they get their drive. We wanted to understand what gets them started and what keeps them engaged and moving forward. This could be on a macro scale, like in life; on a large scale, like over a career, or in a relationship or project; or on a micro scale, like over the span of a day.

Through our research, we identified 16 Elements that, when present or active, are what causes someone to be emotionally engaged, motivated, and driven to move forward.

Our research also showed that some Elements are more motivating to us than others… we call these Core Motivators. As we dove into this, we found that the reason these Elements are “Core Motivators” is because they are fundamental aspects of our identity. It’s core to who we are.

From this research, the Energy Profile and Engagement Assessment were born.

The Energy Profile identifies the specific Elements that form the chemistry of one’s identity, and the Engagement Assessment allows an individual to measure the degree to which those Elements are active across their core journeys in life.

ELEMENT WEIGHT

The Personal Energy Formula is a unique chemistry of Elements that work together and interact with each other in important ways to make this individual who they are.

Their top 5 Elements are those that most motivate them and give rise to their strengths and characteristics. The top 5 Elements are listed in the order in which they rank, with the highest-ranking Element first.

The Element Weight is an indication of the level of impact that particular Element has on this individual’s overall identity profile.

Tier 1 (score of 86-100) – Maximum Impact
Tier 2 (score of 71-85) – High Impact
Tier 3 (score of 46-70) – Medium Impact
Tier 4 (score of 21 – 45) – Low Impact
Tier 5 (score of 0-20) – Minimal Impact

As you study this individual’s formula, take time to consider the Element Weights of each Element, and what that means.

For instance, if their first three Elements are Tier 1 Motivators, and their last two Elements are Tier 3 Motivators, then the majority of their identity attributes will be comprised of those first three Elements, with the latter two adding color and focus to those Elements. In this case, you would want to really concentrate on understanding this individual’s first three motivators, as they have a disproportionate impact on who they are.

On the other hand, if all 5 Elements in this individual’s formula are Tier 1 Motivators, and the gap between them is small, then that gap is likely within the margin of error of the assessment. In that case it really doesn’t matter what order they’re in, because they all have nearly an equivalent impact on this individual’s identity attributes.

As you browse all of the sections in this individual’s profile, you’ll see the Element Weight across all 16 Elements. That can be helpful as you work to understand the level of impact each Element has, or how much it contributes to their total profile.

Potential Energy

Potential Energy describes an individual’s intrinsic level of self-motivation. It represents their inherent capacity and propensity to engage and the energy they have when they do. High Potential Energy indicates a strong inherent drive, while low Potential Energy may suggest a reliance on external factors for motivation. Understanding and effectively managing one’s Potential Energy can enhance well-being, performance, and overall life satisfaction.

Potential Energy

Potential Energy is a comprehensive measure that captures an individual’s intrinsic level of self-motivation. It describes the total energy available that can be converted into Engagement Energy (the energy of action).

This Potential Energy (or capacity for intrinsic motivation, as proposed in Self-Determination Theory) is driven by an internal sense of interest or enjoyment rather than relying on external pressures or rewards.

high potential energy

A high Potential Energy score suggests a strong inclination towards self-motivation. Individuals with high Potential Energy are likely to be naturally driven to engage in activities due to a sense of enjoyment and personal importance. They will exhibit a high level of enthusiasm for these activities.

These individuals are likely to be naturally curious, proactive, persistent, and resilient in the face of challenges, and they often derive a high level of satisfaction and fulfillment from their activities.

low potential energy

On the other hand, a low Potential Energy score might suggest that an individual is less intrinsically motivated, or for one reason or another, at this point in time, just has less energy to give. This doesn’t mean they have no motivation, but rather rely more on external factors for motivation and energy. These could include things like compensation, rewards or recognition, but likely have less innate passion for the activities they engage in.

These individuals might find it more challenging to initiate or persist in activities, especially when faced with obstacles or setbacks, or when extrinsic motivators are absent or don’t measure up to expectations.

changing potential energy

Unlike the Personal Energy Profile, which defines the Elements that most comprise one’s core personality, and tend to change very little (if ever), the Potential Energy score can change greatly over time.

There are simply times in life when we have more energy and times when we have less energy. These variations in Potential Energy, or the energy we have available to engage, can cause us to experience cycles of engagement (or disengagement) in life.

Often the reasons for these fluctuations are circumstantial. But we have control over our Potential Energy. We have the ability to dramatically improve and impact how much Energy we have to apply to the contexts of life that matter most (one’s Critical Contexts). To learn more about this, visit the Potential Energy principle in the Achievement Academy.

understanding potential energy

Understanding this individual’s level of Potential Energy is crucial as it can provide valuable insights into their personal energy landscape.

It can guide you in identifying activities that this individual may be naturally drawn to and in which they are likely to persist and succeed. It can also help you understand their potential challenges and areas for growth.

Whether this individual has high or low Potential Energy, it’s not about good or bad, but about understanding their unique motivational needs and preferences and how they shape their life.

By understanding and effectively managing Potential Energy, this individual can enhance their well-being, performance, and overall life satisfaction.

Potential Energy is a sophisticated and complex concept and there’s much more to really understand about it.

To truly dive into what Potential Energy is and what this individual’s score means, visit the Potential Energy principle in the Principle Knowledge Base of the Achievement Academy.

confidence & Self-Efficacy

This describes how confident one is in their skills and abilities, and how much they believe that they can positive impact their life. It shows up in how they approach life and its journeys, and in how they look to the future.

It’s important to note that confidence is not a representation of actual skills or abilities, but rather a measure of their perception of these.

CONFIDENCE & SELF-EFFICACY

Confidence and Self-Efficacy represent one’s belief in their abilities and their capacity to use those abilities to achieve desired outcomes in life. There are 3 main factors at work here, Perceived Competence, Confidence, and Self-Efficacy.

Perceived Competence: This refers to an individual’s belief about their ability or skill in a specific area. It’s about how competent or capable they perceive themselves to be. Perceived competence is domain-specific and is often influenced by past experiences and feedback from others. For example, if an individual has been successful in a task in the past, they may perceive themselves as competent in that task.
Confidence: Confidence is a broader term that refers to a general belief in one’s abilities. It’s a feeling of self-assuredness that comes from an appreciation of our own abilities or qualities. Confidence can be domain-specific (e.g., I am confident in my ability to cook a good meal) or more general (e.g., I am a confident person). Confidence is often seen as a personality trait that can influence behavior across a variety of situations.
Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy, a concept introduced by psychologist Albert Bandura, is more specific than confidence. It refers to an individual’s belief in their capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments. It’s not just about knowing what to do, but also believing that you can do it in a particular context. Self-efficacy is context-specific and can vary depending on the situation. For example, a person might have high self-efficacy in cooking but low self-efficacy in public speaking.

In summary, while all three terms relate to an individual’s belief in their abilities, they differ in their specificity and context. Perceived competence is about one’s skills in a specific domain, confidence is a more general belief in one’s abilities, and self-efficacy is about one’s belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations or tasks.

high confidence and self-efficacy

When one scores high in Confidence and Self-Efficacy, it means they generally feel capable and believe in their ability to perform tasks, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals in various aspects of life. They trust in their skills and are likely to take on challenges, persist in the face of obstacles, and bounce back from setbacks. This belief in their abilities can fuel their motivation, enhance their performance, and lead to greater satisfaction and well-being.

low Confidence & self-efficacy

On the other hand, if one scores lower in Confidence and Self-Efficacy, it doesn’t mean they lack abilities or skills. Instead, it may indicate that they’re less certain about their capacity to use those skills to achieve desired outcomes. They might be more hesitant to take on challenges or may feel more discouraged by setbacks. However, remember that confidence and self-efficacy can be developed. By setting achievable goals, seeking out experiences that build their skills, and cultivating a growth mindset, they can enhance their confidence and self-efficacy over time.

understanding confidence and self-eficacy

Understanding this individual’s Confidence and Self-Efficacy score in their PEP can provide valuable insights into their motivations, behaviors, and potential areas for growth. It can help you identify where they may feel most capable and where they might want to focus on building their confidence and belief in their abilities. This understanding can empower you to help them align with their strengths, challenge areas where they want to grow, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling and successful life.

Connectedness

The Connectedness Score describes one’s natural tendency to reach out, form connections, and include other people in their journey.

It’s an indication of the fulfillment and joy they get from being connected to and associating with others. It describes their level of need for social connection and creating relationships.

Click the “Learn More” button for more info.

Learn More

Connectedness

Connectedness reflects the degree to which one involves others in various aspects of their life and how much they value social interactions and relationships. It’s about more than just the number of social connections they have; it’s about the quality of those connections and the extent to which they integrate social aspects into their life.

A high score in connectedness suggests that this individual actively seeks to involve others in their life, whether it’s sharing perspectives, involving others in their plans, seeking mentorship, or finding renewal in doing things with others. It indicates that they value social interactions and relationships and see them as an integral part of their life journey.

On the other hand, a lower score in connectedness might suggest that this individual prefers to navigate life more independently, or that they may find it more challenging to involve others in their life. This doesn’t necessarily mean they lack social skills or relationships, but rather that they might prefer a degree of solitude or independence in their activities and decisions.

Understanding Connectedness and Relatedness

Connectedness is closely associated with the concept of relatedness, a fundamental psychological need as identified in Self-Determination Theory. Relatedness refers to the need to form meaningful and satisfying relationships with others, to feel a sense of belonging and emotional connection.

A high score in connectedness suggests a strong sense of relatedness.

It indicates that this individual not only seeks social interactions, but they also strive for deeper, more meaningful connections. They value the emotional bonds they form with others and derive a sense of belonging and security from these relationships. They actively involve others in various aspects of their life, such as sharing perspectives, involving others in their plans, seeking mentorship, and finding renewal in doing things with others.

A lower score in connectedness, while suggesting a preference for more independence, does not necessarily mean a lack of relatedness.

This individual may still have meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging, but they might prefer to navigate certain aspects of life more independently. It could also indicate areas where they might want to focus on enhancing their sense of relatedness, such as by deepening existing relationships or building new ones.

Understanding this individual’s level of connectedness and relatedness can provide valuable insights into their social behavior and preferences. It can guide them in nurturing their relationships, improving their social skills, and finding the right balance between independence and social engagement. Whether they score high or low in connectedness, remember that it’s not about good or bad, but about understanding their unique social needs and preferences and how they shape their life.

This aspect of connectedness and relatedness is vital to feeling like we’re thriving in life and finding purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. You can explore this concept more fully by visiting the Connectedness principle in the Principle Inventory of our Achievement Academy.

autonomy

The Autonomy Score is a measure of one’s perceived control, influence, and ability across various aspects of their life. It reflects the degree to which they feel they can make independent decisions, influence their outcomes, and shape their own path.

Autonomy is about having the freedom to act according to their values, interests, and beliefs, and feeling that their behavior is self-endorsed and congruent with their personal values and beliefs.

Learn More

Autonomy

Autonomy is about having the freedom to make choices that are in alignment with one’s identity (their most authentic self).

High Autonomy

High levels of autonomy are associated with feeling a strong sense of personal freedom and self-determination across various life domains.

Individuals with high autonomy believe they have a significant influence over their surroundings, relationships, personal growth, and the achievement of their goals.

They feel secure in their identity, confident in their ability to find resources and guidance, and believe in their capacity to make a difference.

High autonomy is also associated with a strong sense of personal efficacy, control, and feeling like they have the ability to shape their life according to their values and interests.

Low Autonomy

Low autonomy often leads to a feeling of being constrained or controlled.

Individuals with low autonomy may feel that their actions and decisions are heavily influenced by external factors or pressures, rather than being a true reflection of their personal values and interests.

They may feel less confident in their ability to influence their surroundings, relationships, and personal growth, and may struggle with goal achievement. Low autonomy can lead to feelings of helplessness, lack of control, and a disconnect from one’s authentic self.

Autonomy Preservation

People who have a high level of autonomy tend to have a high desire to maintain that autonomy.

The preservation of autonomy is critical to them. In most instances, they esteem it to be even more valuable than those who have no autonomy, but desire it (this is the principle of Loss Aversion).

Because of this, if someone has a high degree of autonomy and is put within a situation or environment or context where they have less autonomy, they will tend to quickly become dissatisfied.

This is a common Departure Trigger.

When this happens, they may first seek to reclaim their autonomy, but if it becomes clear that this is unlikely, dissatisfaction will become disengagement, and can rapidly fuel their acceleration through the stages of disengagement.

Increasing Autonomy

It is important to seek autonomy, and to increase the autonomy we feel across life’s domains, or critical contexts.

THE ENERGY ACTIVATION SPECTRUM

UNDERSTANDING THE INTERPLAY OF MOTIVATION POTENTIAL AND ACTIVATION ENERGY

In Chemistry, Activation Energy is the minimum energy threshold that must be reached for a chemical reaction to occur. In life, the energy of motivation also has an Activation Energy Threshold. It’s the amount of investment we have to make for an Element to release its energy.

The Energy Activation Spectrum is composed of two separate but interrelated aspects.

Motivation Potential – This describes the total energy this individual is likely to get out of an Element, or how motivating it is to them.
Activation Energy – This describes how difficult it is to get that Element to produce Energy or motivation.

These two interact in opposite ways.

For instance, a low Element score means that Element is likely to release less energy or be less motivating to this individual, and it’ll take more work to get that energy out.

A high score means it’ll require less work to activate the energy of that Element, and the energy output will be high.

When trying to understand this individual’s energy and motivation, this is a vital concept to understand. Some Elements are just not worth the work, because they have low motivation potential, and take a lot of work to get that energy out.

This view helps you recognize where to focus your efforts when this individual’s energy or engagement is low.

Here’s a single view where you can see each Element, sorted by Tier, with a description of each element, and links to learn more.

YOUR Tier 1 motivators

MAXIMUM MOTIVATION POTENTIAL

The following are this individual’s Tier 1 Motivators. These are the Elements where they scored 86 – 100. These Elements have maximum motivation potential. These are special motivators, and they’re rare. It’s not uncommon for one to only have a single or maybe even no Elements in this category. These Elements have the absolute highest ability to drive an individual’s motivation and take the very least work to activate the energy from them.

That’s all, you have no additional Tier 1 Elements.

YOUR Tier 2 motivators

HIGH MOTIVATION POTENTIAL

These are this individual’s Tier 2 Motivators. These are the Elements where they scored 71 – 85. These Elements have high motivation potential. Unless they’re fortunate enough to have a Tier 1 Motivator, these are going to be the Elements that they rely most heavily on to keep them motivated and moving forward in life. They are also rare, and it’s common to only have one or two of these Motivators. These Elements have a very high ability to drive one’s motivation. It takes very little work to activate the energy from them.

That’s all, you have no additional Tier 2 Elements.

YOUR Tier 3 motivators

MEDIUM MOTIVATION POTENTIAL

These are this individual’s Tier 3 Motivators. These are the Elements where they scored 46 – 70. These Elements have medium motivation potential, and they’re a lot more common than Tier 1 and Tier 2 Motivators. One is likely to have several Elements that fall into this category. This category likely represents the bulk of the Elements that provide a relatively easy-to-access, high motivational output. Because of this, Tier 3 Elements should remain high in your focus when solving for this person’s energy.

That’s all, you have no additional Tier 3 Elements.

YOUR Tier 4 motivators

Low MOTIVATION POTENTIAL

These are this individual’s Tier 4 Motivators. These are the Elements where they scored 21 – 45. These Elements have low motivation potential. Most people probably have a number of Elements that fall into this category. That’s OK. We all have a unique motivation formula, and the very thing that makes our higher-tier elements special is that there are so few of them. These Tier 4 Elements will have low energy output, and take a lot of energy to be active. It’s not that they don’t matter, because they do. And occasionally, under the right circumstances, you may find one of these Elements providing a lot of motivation. But ordinarily these Elements are ones that you should focus less on, instead investing yourself into the Elements that have higher energy yield.

That’s all, you have no additional Tier 4 Elements.

YOUR Tier 5 motivators

MINIMAL MOTIVATION POTENTIAL

These are this individual’s Tier 5 Motivators. These are the Elements where they scored 0 – 20. These Elements have minimal motivation potential. They’re not likely to produce much motivation for this person, and it takes a lot to get energy out of them. These are Elements that you should not focus much time and effort on, instead optimizing for Elements that have higher Energy yield.

That’s all, you have no additional Tier 5 Elements.

achievement process profile

As we’ve studied the science of human achievement, we found that the 16 Elements that create energy and engagement can be divided into 4 primary Pillars.

These Pillars identify 4 sequential stages that need to occur for us to achieve success.

Each of us tend to be better at some stages than others. Some are good at starting things, at knowing where to go and seeing how to get there. These are people who predominantly score high in the Orient Pillar.

Others are natural gatherers and enablers, are highly social and good at involving and enlisting others. These are people who score high in the Elements of Assemble.

Some find the most joy and energy in actually doing things and finishing things. These are people who tend to score high in the Elements of Act.

Still others tend to be highly results-oriented. They thrive in outcomes and the evidence and experience of progress. These people tend to score high in the Elements of Achieve.

(Note: The two wing systems are what we need to have in place to stabilize our journey. The Engagement Assessment included in your membership helps act as a diagnostic system to alert you when you’re losing energy toward something you care about, and the Achievement Academy, Achievement Community and other resources in your membership represent recovery solutions to help re-engage and get back on track.)

Below you’ll find out how this individual scored by Pillar.

We’ve included the separate Element scores and their overall Pillar score again for your convenience, so you can see all the scores in one place. But in this view we provide more detail about the breakdown of this person’s rating by Pillar.

The science we use for this assessment draws from a proven and well-documented model to understand human motivation and personality called Self-Determination Theory, or SDT.

We then take that model and expand upon it, augmenting it with the science of the 16 Elements and the role they play in energy, engagement, motivation, and personality.

The questions in the assessment are broken down to determine 4 main categories, including competence, autonomy, relatedness, and passion.

Competence – This captures the natural, existing level of ability in that Element, this person’s feeling of mastery, ability and effectiveness.

Autonomy – This captures how much this person feels independence in that Element, and that they have choice in it and control of it.

Relatedness – This captures the need and desire to involve others in that Element.

Passion – This captures the inherent ability of that Element to activate the energy inside of this person, and how excited they are by it.

Below you’ll see all these scores combined and sorted by Pillar so you can understand this person’s Achievement Process Profile.

While ultimately we have to leverage all 4 Pillars to achieve success, we tend to have a distinct propensity to some more than others. This can be a strength, but it can also cause us to stay in the Pillars for which we have the highest propensity, avoiding the Pillars we are less prone to succeed in.

Being good at some and not good at others is a natural part of the human experience. Understanding this person’s Achievement Process Profile can help you identify the aspects of achievement where they may need help. It can help you identify what aspects they’re naturally good at, so that you can help them pursue activities, roles, jobs, and objectives that fall within that category.

It can also help you be aware of areas where they may tend to be a bit obsessive, so you can better identify when it’s time to help them move on. Explore the Pillar Profile scores below!

Either way, I can help you better understand what the profile means and how to use it to navigate your current situation or to make decisions.

There are an infinite number of things you can ask that I can help with. The key is to think of certain situations you are in at the moment and what you would like to know to help navigate those situations.

OVERVIEW

With Ellie+, you’re able to interact with AI about profiles other than your own. That could be the profile of a peer, a team member, or someone you coach or consult. You can also create and interact with Ellie on composite profiles.

A Composite Profile is a roll-up profile of multiple individuals. For example, you could create a composite profile for your team to better understand team culture, team priorities, and team attributes. This can be helpful if you’re wanting to get AI guidance on how to optimize team culture, how to build an incentive plan that actually incentivizes, or how to design an important change initiative based on the personalities of all involved.

You can also create a composite profile of a group of people, like your top performers. Now you have a single profile that represents the type of person that tends to perform well in that role. With that, you can interact with AI to understand what it is that makes them top performers, and even ask it to build an employee development plan based on those attributes. It gives you critical insights into how to move the needle on performance across your team.

You can even create a composite profile of your family to better understand family dynamics. There are many ways to use composite profiles—the only limit is your imagination. All you need is the profile code of the Energy Profile you’re wanting to talk about (and you can enter as many as you’d like!).

Use cases

There are lots of ways to use Ellie+ and get value from having access to AI about a profile other than your own. Here are some examples:

Partner or Loved One:

For instance, if you had the profile code of your partner, you could use a prompt like this (remember, Ellie will already understand your profile, you just need to feed it the profile code of your partner):

Sample Prompt 1:

“Ellie, here is the personality results of my partner [energy_profile id=3468364]. Looking at our two profiles, please compare and contrast our personalities, point out areas where we might experience tension, and given my personality specifically, make suggestions on what I can do to help foster a healthy relationship.”

Sample Prompt 2:

“Ellie, I’m trying to better understand my partner’s perspective on an issue we’re struggling to see eye-to-eye on. Here is the issue <describe what it is you’re struggling with>. Here is the personality profile of my partner [energy_profile id=3468364]. Given what you know of my partner’s personality, please consider this issue through their lens, then describe it to me in a way that will better help me understand where they’re coming from, given my own personality and perspective.”

Leader, Coach, Mentor, Therapist:

Another good use for this would be if you wanted to share your profile code with a leader, mentor, coach or therapist. It would allow them to interact with the AI to better understand you and your personality so they can better help you. Or, if you play one of these roles, you could have the person you’re helping take their Energy Profile, ask them to share their code with you, then interact with AI to more deeply understand who they are, how they think, and how you can help them.

Sample Prompt for Mentor:

Ellie, I’m working with someone who is seeking help with <describe the situation>. They have taken their Personal Energy Profile, and here are their results: [energy_profile id=3468364]. First, please describe for me the aspects of their personality that you think may be directly impacting this issue, and be ready to answer additional questions about them. Remember to look also at my personality and help me recognize things that I may be missing, because I have a different lens.

Sample Prompt for Parent 1:

Ellie, my son has taken the Personal Energy Profile, and here are his results: [energy_profile id=3468364]. Please help me understand his strengths, and tell me what I can do to best help him as a parent to give him the greatest chance of success.

Sample Prompt for Parent 2:

Ellie, my daughter has taken the Energy Profile, and here are her results: [energy_profile id=3468364]. I haven’t felt very connected to her lately and would like to improve our relationship. Please look at her profile, look at my profile, understand our similarities and differences, and then give me some ideas of things I can do that will increase our emotional connection.

using it in business

There are lots of ways the profile code can be helpful for business settings, especially if you have a Life Engineering leadership or business account. For instance:

Comparing Candidates:

Ellie, I’ve interviewed a number of candidates to hire for a position and have narrowed it down to the following three candidates. Here is each candidate and their Energy Profile results:

John Smith: [energy_profile id=3468364]
Samantha Jones: [energy_profile id=3468365]
Barbra Whitsfield: [energy_profile id=3468366]

I’ve uploaded the job description for the role I am considering them for. Please look at their personality results and give me an analysis of how their personality and potential strengths and weaknesses would impact them in this position.

Assessing Team Fit:

You could run a composite profile for the personality results of a team, giving you a good view into the culture and collective personality of that team. Then, when in that composite profile, you could ask:

Ellie, I’m considering putting Sandra on this team. Here is Sandra’s profile results: [energy_profile id=3468364]. Based on her personality, please tell me how well she’s likely to fit in. Be sure to include areas where she may struggle and things that I might need to do to help facilitate her integration onto the team.

Other illustrations are that you may want to better understand a specific employee so that you can help them be more successful, or get Ellie’s help to navigate the sometimes difficult waters of managing a person. Here are some of the ways you can use Ellie+ when it comes to looking at an employee’s profile:

You may have a specific role in mind for them and want to see if their personality makes them a good fit for that role.
You may have an upcoming 1:1 and want to know the best questions to ask to see how they’re doing.
You may see that they’re struggling and want to know why.
They may be a top performer and you want to know why.
You may have a personality conflict and want to know what you can do about it.

There are many other ideas (and even cut-and-paste prompts) for all kinds of management scenarios that are available to inspire you—or that you can just use. Just click on the “Prompt Ideas” button in the Ellie+ Window.

Composite profiles

Here are some other illustrations using composite profiles.

You want to build an incentive plan customized for what this team cares about.
You’re thinking of changing the comp structure of the team and want to see how they’re likely to react.
You’re in the middle of a change management initiative and want to know how to navigate the personalities involved.
You’re about to acquire a team, or merge two teams, and want to see how they’re likely to fit together.
You want to talk to AI about the culture of two teams (or companies) you may be thinking about merging.
You’re wanting to compare and contrast the attributes and personalities of different employee performance classes (e.g. top performers, middle performers, and low performers) to analyze the differences and really home in on what (other than skills and experience) drives performance.

Again, for more ideas and even cut-and-paste prompts, click on the “Prompt Ideas” button in the Ellie+ chat window.

The key to getting the most out of Ellie+ is simply to think about the things you’re trying to accomplish and just have a conversation with Ellie regarding the people or team involved.

Ellie+ is based on the very latest ChatGPT 4o, so it has been trained on massive amounts of data and can interact with you as an absolute expert in almost any area. The more information and context you provide to the AI, and the more you interact and go back and forth, the better responses you’ll get and the more helpful Ellie+ will be.

The potential uses are only limited by your imagination! If you have good ideas of how to use this, please share them in the community!
