The recognition and appreciation of the subjective determination of knowledge in general, and of psychological knowledge in particular, is the first condition for a scientific and fair assessment of a psyche different from that of the observing subject.
This condition, however, can be met only if the observer knows precisely the range and the nature of his own personality.
And he can know that only once he has largely freed himself from the levelling influence of collective judgements and collective feelings, and has thereby arrived at a clear understanding of his own individuality.
— Carl Gustav Jung
What will learning profiling give you?
See right through other people
Predict how the people around you will behave, find the ‘key’ to each of them and use it
Influence in society
Knowing about unconscious fears, drives, sore points and pleasures — that is all it takes!
Who is right for me?
In private life and in business, the harmonious partner for you is the one with whom everything is simple, easy and full of joy
A map of psychology
You will learn what most people who study psychology never find out: how the different schools are connected to one another.
Self-acceptance
You will go through your own personality type in detail: the reasons behind your behaviour, your strengths and your weak spots.
Tolerance
You will see how personality types shape worldview, religions, beliefs and behaviour. That is the basis of acceptance!
Is personality typology difficult?
The art of reading people is not some secret spy technology. It is simply millions of accumulated psychiatric observations, put to use in real life.
This knowledge is so effective that it can be used to find a harmonious partner in your private life, to build a team and to influence the people around you.
Profiling methods are no secret — you can even find them in the law books. But taking a test is like being handed a fish. On the course we learn to fish: we look at how personality typologies came about and which psychological theories they rest on, and through that understanding we apply them to ourselves, to the people around us and to society.
What is it built on?
The course is built on the S-Theory — an author's school of thought developed at the Research Institute of Social Psychology and the Psychology of Personality Development under the guidance of Sergey Shishkov. It brings together key psychoanalytic approaches and typologies, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Freud's concept of fixation, Lowen's rights of the personality, the model of sub-personalities from transactional analysis and other schools.
What the first intake say
Dima, thank you so much for the ‘Profiling’ course and for this precious knowledge. Once I found out my personality type, life became so clear and so simple. I have accepted myself even more, I have learned about my own particularities, about my weak and my strong sides. The course was really interesting and useful for me. I also met some very interesting people, which I am very grateful for as well. It was the right decision. Thank you!
I would like to thank Dimitri once again for the excellent profiling course that has just finished. And to tell you about a practical use I found for the profiling skills I picked up.
The situation: a compulsory visit to the doctor with my baby girl, which the insurance is supposed to cover. But the insurer loses the papers twice, the newborn ends up uninsured and we have to pay ourselves, at the private rate. We send in the documents for reimbursement and get only half of it back. The insurer suggests we claim the rest from the doctor — with luck it will work. The solution:
How does typing work? Try it on yourself
A few questions — and you will see your temperament according to the S-Theory. This is the very ‘first step’ that the course takes apart down to its foundations.
