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?

Purpose. User experience.

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.”

Colin Priestley-Wall Head of Learning & Development, LME

What makes C-me different from McQuaig?

Clearer, More Memorable Reporting

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.

Focused on Flexibility and Growth

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.

What are the similarities:

  1. Suitable for individuals, teams and organisations.
  2. 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:
