The Organizational Character Index

March 9, 2008 · Filed Under Business, Creativity, Featured, Innovation, Myers-Briggs

After an overly long transition, we’ve set up shop in our new home. To celebrate I’m giving everyone a gift. I’ve coded William Bridges’s “Organizational Character Index” (OCI) into a survey-style page. Now anyone can apply the principles pioneered by Myers and Briggs to their organizations. The OCI is not an adaptation of the MBTI® - it is an experimental tool based on the same type research and using the same dimensions:

Energy - how your organization gets energy (Extroversion or Introversion)
Perception - how your organization gets information, what it pays attention to (Sensing and iNtuition)
Judgment - how your organization uses information to make decisions (Thinking and Feeling)
Orientation - how your organization shows itself to, and deals with, the external world (Judging or Perceiving)

It’s very simple to use. Follow the instructions and fill in the best-fit answer. It takes about 20 minutes to complete. Fill in your name and email and hit the submit button, and I’ll send you an interpretation of the data in a day or so.
