The Diversity Game starting to put your whole brain to work. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Get Started Arrange your five cards in order, start with the card that best describes you and end with the card that is least like you. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Get Started Discussion Points: 4up What was your first response to your cards? Are there any you want to get rid of? Are there any that you don’t want to lose? Would you be comfortable finishing the game with the hand you were dealt? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Improve Your Hand Talk to other players. See what cards they have and trade cards to strengthen your hand by getting cards that better represent you. Maintain five cards in your hand at all times. Trade as many cards as you wish with other players, as long as you give as many cards as you take. You cannot take a card(s) unless the other player is willing to make an exchange. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Improve Your Hand Discussion Points: 4 up What strategies did you use to negotiate trades? Did you notice any patterns in the kinds of cards you wanted to keep and those you were willing to trade? If you detected patterns, what might you venture about the group’s preferences? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Discard Time Discard your two least preferred cards. Feel free to examine the pile of discarded cards and make any exchanges you wish. Maintain three cards. Discarded cards are “part of the pool” and may be picked up by any player. Continue to trade cards with people or the “discard pool” as long as you give up one that is in your hand. (Maintain three). The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Discard Time Discussion Points: 4up How did you react when you had to give two of your cards back? Were your choices easy or difficult for you to make? Have you put together a hand closely representing you? If not, what card(s) did you want that you couldn’t get? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

Get a card that is LEAST like you. Hold on to it. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Tell a Story 4up Remember a personal story. Share with your group how it illustrates a time when all three of the qualities in your hand came into play and influenced your behavior. Listen to others’ stories, and help your group decide one or two stories to tell the whole class. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland Tell a Story Discussion Points: 4 up (cont.) How easy/hard was it for you to come up with a story that illustrated the qualities on your cards? Does your story reflect the way you are much of the time? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? You will receive four plastic holders. Insert your three most preferred cards into the plastic sleeves (one in each sleeve). Put you LEAST preferred card in Go display your most preferred card first. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? Discussion Points: Looking at the group’s most prevalent color, what does it say about your strengths as a group? What does the overall distribution say about your “blind spots”? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? Now come display your second most preferred card. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? Discussion Points: How did the overall color of the group change? Now, what does it say about your strengths as a group? — and about your “blind spots”? What types of work projects do you think people in this group would find interesting (and do well)? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? Come display your third most preferred card. The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland How “Whole Brained” Is Our Group? Discussion Points: How did the overall color of the group change? What does the color distribution say about your strengths as a group? — about your “blind spots”? What types of work projects might people in this group find interesting (& do well)? What types of work projects would this group avoid or find boring? The Diversity Game by Ted Coulson and Allison Strickland

Adjective Pairs 24 Points distributed across the quadrants. Highest score is your “back-up” style or style under stress. UNDERSTANDING ADJECTIVE PAIRS What does the Adjective Pair data indicate? The adjective pair data comes from the forced choice pairings section on the Survey. By forcing you to choose between two different terms, this section typically reveals the thinking style distribution that is most instinctive for you. This distribution may or may not be the same as your overall preferences. Your adjective pair data helps indicate your inner or "back up" style of preferred thinking, The highest score typically reveals the thinking style favored in "pressured" situations, which may vary from your "day to day" preferences. Differences between adjective pairs and your overall profile sometimes indicate that your are undergoing a change in preferences in part of your life. Preferences suggested by the adjective pairs may be more visible to others than your overall profile and under pressure situations you may react more in keeping with the adjective pair indications. There are 24 pairs, and therefore, 24 points distributed between the four quadrants, providing you made a selection for each pair. Profile Scores Adjective Pairs

Profile Scores Profile Scores=Total for each quadrant that forms the basis for your profile. UNDERSTANDING PROFILE SCORES What do Profile Scores mean? Each Quadrant Score can range from under 10 to over 150. The higher your score in a quadrant, the stronger your preference for thinking in that quadrant. As you can see on this profile, this person has a strong preference for Quadrants A and B thinking styles. This is indicated by the numbers 98 and 95, as opposed to a less preferred thinking style for Quadrants C and D, which are represented by numbers 59 and 54. Profile Scores Adjective Pairs

Four Modes UPPER MODE LEFT MODE RIGHT MODE LOWER MODE PERCENTAGES Please note the percentage located north, south, east and west of your profile. The HBDI is a whole brained model. You will notice that you have a degree of "tilt" when you combine the thinking preferences of the A and B quadrants (left brain tilt), the C and D quadrants (right brain tilt), A and D quadrants (cerebral tilt) and B and C quadrants limbic tilt). We more often combine thinking preferences when working on a task, problem solving or communicating. Focusing on "tilt" gives us additional data into our preferred thinking processes.

Each Quadrant Score can range from under 10 to over 150. The higher your score in a quadrant, the stronger your preference for thinking in that quadrant. As you can see on this profile, this person has a strong preference for Quadrants A and B thinking styles. This is indicated by the numbers 98 and 95, as opposed to a less preferred thinking style for Quadrants C and D, which are represented by numbers 59 and 54. What is the Profile Preference Code ? Your Profile Preference Code corresponds to the degree of preference for each quadrant. Your preference code is provided to give you a frame of reference of the group or family of profiles to which your profile belongs. "1" or "Primary" (Score of 67 or above) A primary or strong preference typically indicates a quadrant where you enjoy thinking. A score above 100 indicates a very strong preference, often visible to others. "2" or "Secondary" (Score of 3466) A secondary or intermediate preference represents thinking modes that are comfortable and available as necessary with relative ease. “3" or "Tertiary" (Score less than 34) A tertiary or low preference typically indicates a lack of interest in that mode of thinking, and for some, even an avoidance. This means that the modes of a tertiary quadrant will, although available to you, be those you will least likely use or with which you feel least comfortable.

In this section you were asked to select 8 adjectives from the 25 displayed, which describe the way you see yourself. Your selections are indicated by an X. You then selected on of those 8 as "most descriptive" of you. Your most descriptive adjective is indicated by an asterisk (*) Look over the distribution of your selection. Do they cluster in certain quadrants or are they distributed across all four? Is the distribution of selections consistent with your overall profile scores?

Your rankings are shown, sorted into the four quadrant display. Your "work preferences" show thinking styles that are most accessed inn a work environment. This is often influenced by training, assignments, opportunities and challenges your work experiences have provided. Note your selections. Where do the higher rankings (4's & 5's) appear? Check for clusters of preferences in certain quadrants and lack of preferences in others. Now compare this section with your Key Descriptors section. Are they similar or different? Your data may reveal situational work preferences which have developed that are perhaps somewhat different from your overall "general" key descriptor preferences.

An indicator of an earlier, often influential, time of your life, ranking school subjects can indicate an early orientation toward math, foreign language or native language, and through that orientation a possible inclination toward associated thinking styles. Additional clues are provided about the tilt of your mental preferences through understanding preferred subjects in school, education and occupational choices and how you spend your leisure time. The data has been consolidated, sorted into quadrants, and grouped together for comparative purposes. A bar chart indicates the distribution of preferences for the categories of Adolescent Education, Educational Focus, Occupation and Hobbies. ADOLESCENT EDUCATION, EDUCATIONAL FOCUS, OCCUPATION AND HOBBIES (Continued) Research has shown that many of our thinking style preferences are developed or acquired from the influence of our environment. Both educational and occupational choices may be primary influences. The educational and occupational information you provided is another important clue to your brain dominance profile. Hobbies also provide additional clues about your preferred thinking styles. They are evaluated not on the characteristics of the hobbies themselves, but rather on the preferences of those people who engage in those particular hobbies.

Most of us consider ourselves either left or right handed. Handedness provides a simple example of the body's tendency toward dominance in paired structures. Analysis of our data indicates a slight connection between left handedness and right brain dominance and right handedness and left-brain dominance. Data continues to be gathered for research in this area. The hand position question on the survey provides another interesting research opportunity. Handwriting is a connection to language processing a powerful mental process. Current research indicates that language is processed primarily in the left cerebral hemisphere for most people, but in a more distributed fashion for some left handers and ambidextrous individuals.

Mirabile Jr. For many, motion sickness is caused by conflicting information from two separate systems: the visual system and the inner ear of the auditory system. Right mode people usually tolerate the inconsistent information and as a result, experience motion sickness. In contrast, many left mode individuals are more likely to override or ignore one of the conflicting inputs. They eliminate the ambiguous condition so they remain in control and therefore, are less likely to experience motion sickness.

However, each quadrant may have its own continuum of introvert to extrovert and thus, its own interpretation and impact. A Quadrant Introvert: Quiet, serious, and very focused. A Quadrant Extrovert: Debater, often funny, driven. B Quadrant Introvert: Controlled, always "doing", often keeps to self. B Quadrant Extrovert: Dominant, "organizer" of events and people. C Quadrant Introvert: Expressive through writing or nonverbal, caring in a quiet way. C Quadrant extrovert: Talkative interested in bringing people together, sharing. D Quadrant Introvert: Off in own world, does "own thing", loner D Quadrant Extrovert: Constant flow of ideas loves to experiment with others, have fun.

If you are a diverse group, how might you deal with one another so that your differences are an asset, not a liability? What on-going agreements might you make together to assure that you work together more effectively?
