Emergenetics (R): Tap Into the New Science of Success
Who you are today is a result of certain characteristics that have emerged from your life experiences, plus the genetics with which you were born. This interplay between nature and nurture is the foundation of Emergenetics ® , a brain-based approach to personality profiling that gives you the keys you need to discover not only your own natural strengths and talents, but also those of others. You will discover your thinking style (Conceptual, Social, Analytical, or Structural) and your behavioral set points (your degree of Expressiveness, Assertiveness, and Flexibility). These insights will help you recognize how you approach new situations, how you get things done, how others see you, how to enhance relationships, and how to communicate with people who are not like you. Applying Emergenetics ® to the workplace will enable you to make optimal career decisions, boost your creativity and performance, increase profits, make better decisions, assemble "brain trust" teams, write effective performance reviews, make presentations that appeal to everyone, sell to all kinds of customers, and motivate all kinds of employees. Emergenetics ® offers invaluable insights instantly, and paves the way to personal growth, satisfaction, and success.

Emergenetics is a metaphor that works like the brain works.
This successful book is based on the methodology introduced in the early 90s by the author Dr. Geil Browning and her colleague Dr. Wendell Williams, both social psychologists. The first one is expert in the field of education, the second one in the field of organizational and industrial psychology. The authors have developed the original model of Ned Herrmann, called The Whole Brain Model, used for analyzing personal and organizational thinking preferences, and have enriched it by introducing three significant behavioral preferences. The result is a solid psychometric tool, which meets the most stringent standards set by international criteria for psychological and psychometric tests. The books describes this methodology in detail, but in a conversational and very understandable way as well. Mrs. Browning explains very well several interesting discoveries in the field of neuro-science, both regarding the structure and functioning of the brain, and the genetic processes as well as cognitive and behavioral learning. The word Emergenetics, as a matter of fact, is the contraction of the words genetics and emerge: that is, we all have thinking and behavioral preferences which are the result of the genetic neural patterns inherited by parents and nurtured by the many complex experiences we live, especially during the growth phase.
The Emergenetics model, used for the development of individuals and groups, helps people to better understand themselves and each other, creating the conditions for a mutual respect and finally establishing dialogue and cooperation, essential recipes for success. This book is really interesting, full of clear explanations, diagrams and tables, examples and anecdote. It’s a useful and enjoyable manual for those who want to better understand how to manage the dynamics of relationships among people.

Great insights into the thinking preference and behavioural attributes profiling.
Good to keep the toolkits on hand for living and working with the whole brain.
Was a tad tedious to read all the toolkits in one shot. But it's not meant to be read that way.
