Looking for
an alternative
to MBTI?

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.

MBTI is more focussed on personal exploration - helping people understand their preferences in how they perceive the world and make decisions. It is a much more rigid tool and not as effective in the workplace.

Why look for a MBTI alternative?

Performance. User experience.

MBTI is a much more rigid tool, focussing on fixed ‘personality types’. It boxes users in to one fixed category. It is more complex to remember and there, not as applicable in the workplace.

C-me was designed to more accurately reflect people’s behaviour in the workplace and how they change and develop. It is a more modern, powerful but simpler tool, which is more reflective of actual human behaviour. It is also easier to adopt and remember, therefore more effective in the workplace.

What makes C-me different from MBTI?

No more labelling

No one likes to be boxed into a single descriptor. We are more complex and organisations need a tool to more accurately reflect how we change and develop 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.

Behaviour not personality

We have changed the focus from personality to behaviour. Our personality remains pretty fixed in our life time, where as our behaviour can and should change as we develop. Crucially, our behaviour is what others observe about us. It is much more empowering to focus on what individuals can change than asking them to change their personality.

Faster to learn and more memorable

There is no need to master a complex system of letters in order to remember your own profile and even those of everyone you’re working with. C-me simpler focus on four colours can bring teams together from day one in any industry and context, because it’s designed to be faster to learn and effective immediately.

What our clients say about us

“C-me has coloured our working world and improved our working relationships.”

Samantha Westbrook Head of People and Culture, Chrono24
MBTI
The MBTI framework identifies four key dimensions of personality, each represented as a pair of opposite preferences: These four preference pairs combine to create 16 distinct personality types. Each individual has a preference from each pair, resulting in a unique four-letter code.

C-me

C-me's dynamic approach, represented by a blended colour wheel, offers a nuanced description of individual profiles. Unlike MBTI's predefined typology, C-me's algorithms emphasise behavioural nuances. We make room for change – indicated by a wheel that people can move around and two graphs that reflected how people change in the workplace, depending on the circumstances.

Rectangle 26

We avoid letters categorise people. Instead we use a blended colour wheel. This visually communicates the fact that people are a blend of all the preferences. Behaviour changes and people can move around the wheel in different roles.

We don’t ask responders to remember a combination of letters, we simply encourage people to learn the four colours of the colour wheel and what they stand for. We ask that users to remember their top two preferred colours -not one but two, again to emphasise that people are a blend. 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.

What are the similarities:

  1. Both are based on Jungian psychology.
  2. Both use preference indicators​ in the questionnaire – i.e. we ask people to rate themselves and their own preference.

What our clients say about us

“We have used C-me for a number of years now. Our first C-me experience was when I became a team leader and took on several new members of staff. It really helped improve communication in the team as it gave newer members an insight into the more long-standing members. When my team was expanded C-me has been a great way to give people who had never met in person a structured way of getting to know each other, with a shared common language to describe people's differences and individual strengths.”

Emma Theedon Head of Audiences, BBC
