Looking for an alternative to McQuaig?

C-me offers one of the most user-friendly and cost-effective approaches to personal, team and organisational development in the learning and development space. C-me is designed for practical application in busy working environments.
McQuaig is a trait-based psychometric tool. Focused on predicting job fit and workplace behaviour, they use traditional behavioural descriptors and temperament analysis. Their tools have a more formal, text-heavy style.

Why look for a McQuaig alternative?
Whilst McQuaig’s reports offer valuable insights into candidates' personalities and cognitive abilities, their traditional, text-heavy approach can be less intuitive for broader employee engagement and ongoing personal development.
For those looking for a tool that is more accessible, engaging, and faster to implement in to everyday workplace needs, C-me is the best alterantive. We take a more user-friendly, colour-based approach to understanding people. It is simple to understand, accurate and most crucially, much more memorable.
What our clients say about us
“C-me is an enabler to support everyone at LMG to be more aware, involve the right people and to create a solution approach. There are more but this sums it up for me.”
What makes C-me different from McQuaig?
C-me's colour-coded profiling system—Red, Yellow, Green, Blue—makes profiles much easier to understand and recall. We also blend colours to show how people flex in different circumstances and to avoid boxing people in.

C-me highlights adaptable behaviours that can grow and evolve. This is a much more effective approach for personal, team and leadership development. We do not box people in to fixed traits or assess their cognitive abilities, which a person can do little to change.

Our reports speak plainly, making them accessible for all. This builds inclusivity and quick understanding. Users can even select their preferred pronoun for their report.
We plot out a better visual summary of team dynamics, (see below). We provide a more user-friendly and memorable way of helping teams understand themselves better and work more effectively together.
The C-me assessment takes under 10 minutes but delivers an accurate report with practical, actionable insights.
Make is easier for your teams to communicate and collaborate with the C-me Outlook integration that embeds C-me learning into daily work.
Utilise the range of follow up materials and resources to integrate the value of C-me in your people development strategy.
What our clients say about us

How C-me and McQuaig’s compare visually



What are the similarities:
- Suitable for individuals, teams and organisations.
- Both focus on self-awareness, team dynamics, and leadership to build healthier organisations and drive business results.
What are the differences:
Colours are an effective visual way of remembering behaviours and making it easier to integrate across teams and organisations.
We don’t ask responders to remember categories, with sliding scales, for themselves and then every team member they work with. Instead, we encourage people to learn the four colours of the wheel and the behaviours they stand for. We ask that users simply remember their top two preferred colours (because nobody is just one).
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.
We also recognise change. 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. Our two graphs show our more conscious (adapted) behaviour and our less conscious (natural) behaviour. Giving a visual way to demonstrate how a person is adapting and what this might mean for them and their team.
To make it even simpler to integrate in to working life, provide a simple C visual, that displays the colour order of a person’s preferences, as a memorable icon to display and show others their colour preferences simply:
