MINDSONAR - WHAT IS IT?
MindSonar is like an X-Ray Machine for the Mind
Repeated patterns in our thinking are often referred to as our 'Mindset'. Working with mindsets is important, especially for those of us working with people. Somebody's mindset determines their feelings and their actions. And these in turn determine their results. That goes for business, but in private life as well. That's why it's often important to understand how someone thinks. And MindSonar is a great tool for that; It measures both Thinking Styles (Meta Programs) and Value Types (Graves Drives).
Exploring the Power of MindSonar
Given the importance of working with mindsets, it's a great advantage if you can measure them. MindSonar is a psychological tool that helps you do just that. MindSonar was developed by Dutch psychologist Jaap Hollander and his team. It has its roots in Neuro Linguistic Programming and the work of psychologist Clare Graves.
MindSonar Used Worldwide
MindSonar is used in the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, the UK, the USA, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Mexico, Colombia and Puerto Rico. It is used mostly by coaches, team builders, recruiters, HR-professionals and organisational developers. They use MindSonar to measure mindsets in all kinds of organisations varying from Olympic sports teams and charitable foundations, to large corporations and governments . In this day and age, it is hard to find any professional situation where understanding mindsets is not important.
UNDERSTANDING, COMMUNICATION AND CHANGE
Measuring mindsets and understanding them
MindSonar sess a mindset as an interplay between
a. Value types (What kinds of things do you find important?)
b. Thinking styles (How do you handle your values?)
.
.
Strengthening or changing mindsets
And understanding a given mindset greatly helps to either strengthen it or change it. Your mindset will greatly influence your perception (What you notice and what you miss), your mood and your actions. And your actions will eventually determine your results.
Applications
MindSonar is used for may different purposes. MindSonar helps coaches to understand what changes are needed precisely. MindSonar helps recruiters to attract hard to find new candidates, and to select the most suitable ones. MindSonar helps individuals understand their own mindset. And in teams it can improve communication, cohesion and cognitive diversity. MindSonar is used to resolve conflicts and to help organizations change. It can help leaders analyse their leadership style and define strengths and room for improvement.
helping professionals measure mindsets
Mindsets vary with Context
One standout feature of MindSonar is that it presupposes that somebody's thinking style can be different in different situations. For example, their thinking patterns at work may differ vastly from those at home, and MindSonar can capture this. Hence our tagline: 'Because you are so much more'.

MindSonar is the New Profiling
MindSonar is not a personality test. We recognize that personality tests often offer a hold on complex situations, we also find them limiting. MindSonar does not want to lock people up in personality boxes. We assume people will think differently under different conditions. We will measure your mindset for a given context, but we will also assume that you have many other mindsets available. That's why our tag line is: because you are so much more…

MINDSONAR TESTIMONIALS
MindSonar is an easy to use tool that helps coaches and consultants gain insight into critical elements of people’s thinking styles.
I recommend it to NLP professionals as a supporting technology for their NLP work both with individuals and in organizations.
Robert Dilts
NLP Developer
I really enjoyed getting to the root of the way I and my coworkers think. Being able to understand how each of us approaches our work and then having open discussion ... was helpful to the team dynamic. Some of the results were surprising but ... we realized that they really made sense.
Julie Donato
Watertown-Oakville Chamber of Commerce
The tool is clear, understandable and extremely useful. It allowed us to make very fine decisions between different candidates or in one case identify that actually none of the candidates were suitable. I believe it saved us 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of pounds in wasted time and energy, employing unsuitable people for the wrong roles.
