If you act like an odious buffoon you will become an odious buffoon!\u2019 He was clearly a psychologist in the behaviourist tradition. But this raises the interesting question of how much we are what we do. The other side of the coin is represented by the bird in the cage. We would completely misunderstand what it was by observing its current behaviour \u2013 it can only express its full potential when freed from its cage. This is a good metaphor for coaching.<\/p>\n<p>In a previous blog I focused on the personality side of the phrase <strong><em>\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcoachdirectory.com\/do-coaches-help-change-behaviour-or-personality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coaches help change behaviour, NOT personality.<\/a><\/em>\u2019<\/strong> In this blog I want to focus on the other side of the coin \u2013 the role of behaviour for understanding people. Let me begin using an analogy with this tug of war:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11609 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/trustedcoachdirectory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Roy-Tug-of-war-300x105.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trustedcoachdirectory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Roy-Tug-of-war-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/trustedcoachdirectory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Roy-Tug-of-war.png 602w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The left-hand side (A) represents a person\u2019s inner being \u2013 their identity, which includes their personality. The right-hand side (C) represents the context in which the person finds themselves \u2013 perhaps a funeral, a wedding, a work challenge etc. Few would argue that people can adapt what they do depending on context. If the red ribbon in the middle (B) represents behaviour, then sometimes this will move to the right since contextual pressures will dominate. Sometimes the person\u2019s inner being wins out and the behaviour moves to the left being more influenced by the person\u2019s style\/preferences\/personality rather than the context. Focusing on the red ribbon means that we will have an uncertain mix of contextual demands and personal preferences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unfortunately, traditional personality questionnaires do not address this issue.<\/strong> They usually ask people what they do or how they feel or what they think \u2018typically\u2019. As such they are looking for some kind of average and are context blind! The strong behaviourist tradition in psychology (and psychometrics) emphasises that personality has no meaning unless it translates into behaviour. But I suggest that behaviour can be an unreliable measure of the inner person \u2013 and the very concept of personality requires something that is consistent inside the person. This then influences what a person does in different contexts, but it does not determine it. If a questionnaire asks people what they do typically, contextual factors and roles can distort what is meant to reveal personality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many personality questionnaires derive their justification via statistics.<\/strong> But statistics are just a tool and are no substitute for a clear rationale. Statistics shine a light on how things are working but it is the rationale that is the route to understanding. Main-stream personality questionnaires (often favoured by academic psychology) make a great play of their statistical under-pinning, but the result is a very eclectic range of questions covering people\u2019s attitudes, beliefs, motivations, behaviours, roles and preferences. This makes for a diffuse concept of personality \u2013 the statistical tail is wagging the psychological dog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A great step forward would be to acknowledge the very real difference between Being and Doing.<\/strong> Doing recognises how people play many roles which can be very influenced by context. But personality is more about Being \u2013 a sense of identity; who I really am. It can explain the frustration that people have when answering questions. How often do people think genuinely that \u2018it depends\u2019? Is it not time to acknowledge that yes, it really does depend \u2013 on context! We need to acknowledge people\u2019s potential to adapt to their context and we could argue that part of our job as coaches is to facilitate the development of people\u2019s adaptability and flexibility. These ideas have been built into the Type Mapping system which clearly separates Being from Doing and you can explore further with this video:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IDupYWshtvE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An overview of Type Mapping &#8211; Part 1 addressing the Personality versus Roles dilemma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet another element of identity which can help people to change is taking a deeper dive into people\u2019s fundamentals \u2013 their VALUES.
