The BG5 System and the DISC, Myers-Briggs and Enneagram systems are personality assessment tools, but they differ in their approach, methodology, and application.
BG5 System: a holistic system that incorporates multiple disciplines, including astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the Chakra system to create a unique map of an individual's energy and purpose. It focuses on understanding an individual's unique energy blueprint and how to live in alignment with the authentic self. BG5 is primarily used as a tool for personal growth, self-discovery, and decision-making. It can help individuals understand their natural strengths, weaknesses, and purpose, and make decisions that are in alignment with their unique energy. It uses a person's birth data, including their birth date, time, and location, to generate a body graph that represents their unique energy and personality traits. This body graph includes nine energy centers and several channels and traits that describe how energy flows through the body. Myers-Briggs system: a more psychological system that identifies sixteen personality types based on four dichotomies: extraversion vs. introversion, sensing vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. perceiving. It focuses on understanding an individual's natural preferences and how they perceive and interact with the world. The Myers-Briggs system relies on self-reported behaviour and preferences, often in the form of a questionnaire or assessment. DISC system: a simpler model that focuses on four main behavioural styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. The DISC system relies on self-reported behaviour and preferences, often in the form of a questionnaire or assessment. Enneagram system: a more psychological system that identifies nine basic personality types, each with its own motivations, fears, and coping strategies. It focuses on understanding an individual's core motivations and how they can grow and develop beyond their limitations. The Enneagram system relies on self-reported behaviour and preferences, often in the form of a questionnaire or assessment. It is often used in personal and spiritual growth contexts to help individuals understand their core motivations and how to grow beyond their limitations.
The BG5 System has several strengths that make it a valuable tool:
1. Unique and holistic approach: BG5 draws on multiple disciplines providing a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of an individual's energy blueprint and purpose. 2. Emphasis on individuality: It is designed to help individuals understand and embrace their unique energy and purpose, rather than fitting them into predefined categories or types. This can help individuals make decisions that are in alignment with their authentic self, rather than conforming to societal norms or expectations. 3. Integration of body and mind: It includes a body graph that represents an individual's energy centres and channels, providing insight into the connection between the body and the mind. This can help individuals understand how their physical and emotional health are interconnected and how to optimise their energy flow. 4. Practical applications: It provides practical guidance on how to live in alignment with one's design, including strategies for decision-making, relationships, and career choices. This can help individuals make more conscious and intentional choices in their lives. 5. Empowering: The BG5 System emphasises personal empowerment and responsibility, encouraging individuals to take ownership of their lives and choices. This can help individuals feel more confident and empowered in their decision-making and life path.
Overall, the BG5 System's unique and holistic approach, emphasis on individuality, integration of body and mind, practical applications, and empowering philosophy make it a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
Why is BG5 the way forward? In the past, not sacrificing yourself for the sake of the group may have been deemed selfish. Thankfully, this is what is changing. Giving your time to something you ‘think you should be doing’ to meet someone else’s expectations is no longer valid, or rewarded. At the end of the day, if everyone is doing what is best for them then the entire business will function most effectively.
This awareness is what BG5 brings to the workplace, and it’s arrived in perfect time! If you'd like to understand how a BG5 Business Team Analysis can help you and your team, I invite you to book a complimentary discovery call with me.
