Looking for
an alternative
to Insights?

C-me logo white with TM 2

C-me offers one of the most personalised and cost-effective approaches to personal, team and organisational development in the learning and development space. We have shifted the focus of workplace psychometric tools from fixed ‘personality types’ to a more useful focus on ‘adaptable behaviours’.  C-me is designed for practical application in busy working environments.

Insights Discovery is also a psychometric tool aimed at helping individuals comprehend their own behavioural preferences and those of others. They also focus on personal development, teamwork and leadership development. Their option is more expensive and less flexible for clients and partners.

Why look for an Insights Discovery alternative?

Cost. User experience. Customer service.

Insights Discovery has higher upfront and ongoing costs and is less effective in its application. In contrast, C-me is designed to be more cost-effective, user-friendly, and faster to onboard in busy working environments.

Insights charge thousands to get accredited and offer two week courses in expensive venues.  On top of this, they charge an ongoing licensing fee.
C-me charge far less to get accredited, offer a two day intensive accreditation course and no ongoing lincensing fee. We also offer better customer service – so we’re more available and treat you like a partner.

Try C-me out and you won’t want to leave.

What our clients say about us

“I have done Insights previously and was interested to see the difference (if there would be one) and would definitely recommend C-me as the preferred tool, due to its strong emphasis on not putting people in boxes! Love the terms 'Flex' and 'Blend' which I think prevent the less positive feelings from people who aren't as enthusiastic around tools such as these. I really enjoyed the accreditation and would highly recommend.”

Ellie Wood Employee Experience Lead, Seasalt Cornwall

What makes C-me different from Insights?

No more labelling

No one likes to be boxed into a single descriptor. We are more complex and we need a tool to more accurately reflect how we change at work. C-me focuses on how a person’s behaviours and preferences flex in different circumstances. We reveal when this might happen and how to plan for it.

What are the similarities:

  1. Both are based on Jungian psychology.
  2. Application of colour to Jungian quadrants​ and both use a colour wheel and bar graphs.
  3. Both use preference indicators​ in the questionnaire – i.e. we ask people to rate themselves and their own preference.
  4. Both include a conscious and unconscious measure.
  5. Suitable for individuals, teams and organisations.
  6. Both focus on self-awareness, team dynamics, and leadership to build healthier organisations and drive business results.

What are the differences:

C-me represent data more simply. We cut out everything that is not essential to be clear, effective and increase the up-take.

You’ll notice within our wheel that colours are blended, without rigid divisions or numbers. We stripped off numbers, letters or strict categories to reflect that we are each a combination of all four colours. Unlike Insights, we don’t ask responders to remember numbers and their according categories. Instead, we simply encourage people to learn the four colours of the wheel and what they stand for. We ask that users simply remember their top two preferred colours. A person’s profile is not stuck to one inflexible category. We do not box people in. we encourage flexibility and growth. This emphasises that none of us are one static category, we flex between colours depending on the circumstances we’re in.

We also provide a simple C visual, that displays the colour order of a person’s preferences, as memorable icon to display and show others their colour preferences simply:

What our clients say about us

“Getting busy people working in a client driven commercial environment to free up time for their CPD is pivotal, and where C-me is worth its weight is in how accessible and colloquial it is. It allows us to use it as a shared language (and subsequent understanding) to improving collaboration by understanding each other's preferences.”

Gavin Hooper Learning And Development Specialist, Burges Salmon
