About LAB Profile^®

The Motivation and Productivity Patterns outlined here from the LAB Profile^® describe a person’s preferences in a given situation. This is about someone’s motivation and behavior and is not a personality profile.

So, just as people’s behavior and motivation changes from Context to Context, so will their LAB Profile® Patterns. A person’s LAB Profile^® Patterns are very likely to be different when they are at work, or when buying toilet paper, as opposed to when they are on vacation.

These patterns describe how a person triggers and maintains their interest level in a given situation, and conversely, what will de-motivate them. If a person prefers to take the initiative in their work but finds themselves having to wait a long time, they will soon become frustrated and de-motivated. Similarly, if someone is motivated to get something now, but they are made to wait, they are likely to become angry.

If you can quickly identify what you, your colleagues and your customers need and can meet their needs, you are much more likely to have a motivated team member or regain a happy customer by resolving their issues in the way that suits them.

Please notice, that the information above refer only to the context you chose (and there are NOT general personality labels).
