You may be asking yourself, what are BrainStyles? Founder Marlane Miller has taken the common, “left brain, right brain” approach to personality tests and created BrainStyles. BrainStyles make it super easy to determine what motivates you and your employees. Similar yet more simple than the Myers-Briggs Type indicator, BrainStyles can be used to help make important business decisions. It can also be extremely useful when hiring new personnel. The Knower, The Conciliator, The Conceptor, and the Delliberator are the four BrainStyles you can use to identify your coworkers.

The Knower
The Conciliator
Conciliators are heavily focused on right brain thinking and have a tendency to live in the moment. With that being said, they respond more emotionally than analytically to new situations. They are creative, responsive, and extraordinarily inventive. Conciliators are the absolute best at interpersonal relationships and thrive meeting new people. They love networking online or in person and could talk for days. They’re great when it comes to new situations and cope well with challenges. The downfall of the Conciliator is that they need constant reassurance that they’re doing a good job to keep them motivated. A project can quickly go sour if they don’t get the recognition and support that they need.
