Leverage the full
power of the proven
I.D. System
Built on more than 33 years of research and refinement, the I.D. System turns instinct into impact, helping individuals, leaders, and organizations unleash their full potential, deliver impressive results, and successfully navigate transformation.
Uncovering your I.D.
Each number of your result relates to the direction and intensity of one of the four Instinctive Drives: The Instincts to Verify, Authenticate, Complete, and Improvise.
Each drive and direction is characterized by a set of needs that determine what in stride looks like for you along with your natural talents and natural vulnerabilities.
Discovering others' I.D.
Just as your I.D. will deepen your self-awareness, it will fast-track your understanding of the different things others may need to operate in stride and collaborate effectively.
Sharing I.D.s - and comparing and contrasting their characteristics - leads to frequent 'lightbulb moments' across families and friends, and teams and organizations.
What do the four Instinctive Drives reveal?
Here’s a snapshot of some of the differences in the drives and directions - all I.D.s are of equal value and it’s the combination of drives that define what you need to live life in stride!

What's different about the I.D. System?
Instinct vs Behavior
People see your behavior and personality but don't see the underlying motivations that drive these things and help to explain WHY you act and react in the way that you do.
While life experience, beliefs, fears and other external factors will impact your behavior, the single most dominant influence will be your very own force of nature - your Instinctive Drives.
"When people in teams use I.D. to be in flow, it's as if that common understanding causes a bio-chemical change to occur in how they understand and connect to each other – such that they don't necessarily have to think about their differences, they just instinctively 'get' each other, trust that 'bond', and leverage each other's different strengths to produce richer outcomes."

Backed by research
We partnered with a leading university to explore the reliability, validity, and impact of I.D. and continue to refine our methodology to make a real difference for individuals, teams, and organizations.
I.D. reliability & validity
Quantitative methods used to substantiate the I.D. System suggest it is a reliable, valid assessment tool for gauging individual instinctive drives.
I.D. Impact on well-being
The I.D. System helps to facilitate the management of occupational stress, and as such, improves employee well-being.
