WE-I
What it is?
A Snapshot of Us In Relationship
By shining a light on our non-conscious patterns, the WE-I Profile provokes radically unique insights and provides a distinctive vocabulary for our specific internal experience. These insights allow for the development of more intentional responses to stress and conflict and point us to how we can gain greater agency over our behaviors and make choices that yield healthier, more mindful relationships in work and life.
How Does it Work?
The WE-I Profile simulates real-time stressful interpersonal interactions by presenting us with eight short video vignettes in which we are being challenged by another person. Then we are presented with a series of statements and asked the degree to which the statements fit our experience of the interaction.
Because the instrument is a real-time simulation and doesn’t ask what we would do or what we believe about ourselves and instead asks us what’s going on inside us, it captures hidden aspects of what drives our behavior under stress.
What Does it Measure?
The WE-I Profile captures our internal experience (not our behavior) under stress (because that’s when relationships can be challenging) in the moment (not upon reflection) and in relationship (not by ourselves).
It measures our ability, capacity, and willingness to:
- Access a broad range of feelings
- Maintain an objective perspective along with a degree of practical optimism
- Focus evenly and flexibly on ourselves and others
- Rely equally on all dimensions of our experience, thoughts, emotions, and desires
- Discern what someone else is thinking, feeling, and intending
- Care and share in the feelings of another
- Choose an appropriate strategy for relating in any given situation
In short, it reveals and measures the aspects of our internal experience that inform and drive our behavior when we experience tension or conflict with another person.
