Mindset Metrics has roots in three areas:
A four-dimension behavioral model, (DISC-based) on original work of Dr. Wm. Marston (1928), and later work of Drs. Walter Clarke, James Cleaver, John Geier, and Thomas Hendrickson (1950s forward).
of our internal drives, motivators, and values based on the work of Dr. Eduard Spranger (1928), and later Drs. Gordon Allport, Phillip Vernon, and Gardner Lindzey, (1930s forward).
A seldom used but very important model of the work or social environment in which each person does their best effort work (also based on a four-dimension DISC frame suggested by Dr. John Geier in 1975). Dr. Watson was a primary author of this model and research for computer-use beginning in 1981, and continually refined through the present.
that amplifies three lenses in our style:
Why we do what we do, our internal Drivers and Motivators that initiate all of the above
The environment in which we do our best work because we want to.
How we do what we do, our Behavioral Style.
