Introduction of Rhodes’ TIP (Thinking-Intentions Profile)
The Thinking-Intentions Profile™, known at Rhodes’ TIP, is a unique instrument that makes visible what is normally hidden – the inner drives which shape thought. We call these inner drives “Thinking-Intentions”. There are 21 of these essential activities of mind.
How does Rhodes’ TIP work?
Rhodes’ TIP is a well-crafted instrument leading to improved thinking performance.
It is a core tool in the Effective Intelligence toolkit of instruments which all, in different ways, expand and improve quality of thought. It is always delivered by qualified practitioners, who give live debriefing, training and coaching.
Rhodes’ TIP is a user-friendly way to identify the individual patterns of mind which shape how people tackle problems. It introduces the concept of thinking-intentions as the route to enhancement and enlargement of thought.
The extensive use of Rhodes’ TIP, over nearly two decades, has demonstrated its value as a tool for revealing the thinking styles of groups and individuals in many different cultures, including North America, Europe and Asia.
The special advantage of Rhodes’ TIP is that it can be used not only for personal coaching and team working, but also for whole organization development.
A Common Language for People and Tasks
Most organizational Tasks are done by People. Many business Tasks require quality thinking to achieve them well. Our performance improvement system is unique in that it not only Profiles the thinking energies of People, it also identifies the thinking requirements needed to fulfill organizational TASKS of all kinds using the same common language for thinking. We provide know-how tools to increase performance on business tasks.
Our business-based system is designed to move beyond personal awareness into practical and effective action. What our clients like best is that it offers an “easy-to-remember” and “easy-to-apply” common language for thinking and organizational application. Through our system, managers refine their abilities to do The Right Thinking at the Right Time, which facilitates more effective action and higher quality results when working with people and fulfilling task requirements.
“I have been utilizing EI specifically to assist in the recruitment process for the past 2 years. The online TIP Assessment has been extremely helpful in screening final applicants for their fit with the organization, the job and with me. It is a valuable assessment tool in making such an important decision.”
