Personality Profiling
Discover your type and flow through life and business more authentically and effortlessly
You are a soul in a body. That body is the “vehicle” through which you experience this lifetime.
But what type of vehicle are you operating?
A Porsche? A tractor? A school bus?
What are you naturally great at? Through what lens do you interpret reality?
Each of these examples is very valuable, but… when used in the right way, in the right environment.
Myers-Briggs personality type (MBTI), questionnaires often show what your mind thinks you are.
But what does your body show us…?
Recent science has taught us where each cognitive function is located in the brain and how to activate through body movement.
This means that now, your actual, hard-wired, cognitive preferences (how you most naturally interact with the world) by testing the body.
This knowledge gave me a quantum leap in my own personal development journey, so I got educated and trained, and now I am sharing it with humans who are honestly seeking growth.
sWhich of these archetype is your most natural expression?

An absolute game-changer, especially when…
You are about to make an important decision.
When you start a new project, sell your business, quit your job, engage with a partner, buy a home, or change the course of your life in any way… better make sure your big next step is aligned with who you truly are.
You experience tensions in your relationships.
Tense relationships (both at work and at home) may cost you tons of energy, continuously. Knowing your type helps understand the social dynamics between you and others on a deeper level. A game-changer for the relationships with family, colleagues and business partners.
You are on a journey of personal development and healing.
“Know thyself” = know your natural archetype and its strengths, weaknesses, roles, and needs. Remove doubt around who you are authentically versus what is learned behavior and trauma.
Although the MBTI typology has been out there for a while, the body tests are very new.
Let me explain…
1. Recent scientific discoveries
My good friend and mentor Martijn Leonard is “coach of coaches” in pro sports. He works with professional football clubs like NAC, Feyenoord, and PSV, and even the Dutch national team, and Olympic medal winners.
He and his mentor (a behind-the-scenes legend in pro sports) achieve mind-blowing results, because they apply new knowledge which helps athletes evoke a flow state – a divine state of peak performance.
In 1982, scientist Walter Lowen discovered that your personality is the result of your motorics. So how you interact with the world is the result of how you moved as an embryo, a baby and as a young child. These movements shaped the neural pathways which later you use to process information, steer your attention, make choices, interact with the world.
The next breakthrough came with scientist Katherin Benzinger. She mapped which brain functions are located where in the brain, and which body parts are connected to those areas.
Next, an innovative top sports coach developed a series of simple body tests (15 to 20 minutes) to discover athletes’ preferred, most natural cognitive preferences, motor skills and drivers/motivators.
When I learned my type (INFJ, whereas until then questionnaires had me believe believed my type is ENTJ), it gave me a quantum leap in my personal development.
I got trained and educated, so that now I can share this gift with you.
Very few people in today’s world know about this, but it is very solid, proven reliable and effective, and spreading fast.
2. How pro athletes use this knowledge
The keyword is “flow”. Flow is the state in which peak performance is achieved. Where talent meets challenge and preparation, an effortless experience of merging with the moment and the environment simply flows through you.
Each type has a different pathway to flow. One’s natural drivers (which we can also retrieve through body tests) and preferred functions need to be used to access this state of effortless hyper awareness.
When athletes learn this and apply this, they:
- Talk to themselves more constructively
- Develop rituals to activate their system
- Adjust their environment to fit their natural preferences
And the results speak for themselves:
- A pro ice skating team: all but one achieved a personal record within the next week
- An U16 pro youth football team: lost all but one halfway the season. Learned this, then won 8 out of their 9 last games
- A Dutch pro football striker used to score 10-12 goals per season. He “suddenly” became the revelation of the year with 37 goals.
Game changing knowledge for those who choose to apply it.
3. What this means for you
The same knowledge is massively helpful for you, as a professional, to use your strengths and delegate the rest, have more energy, build better relationships mind your pitfalls, and use your strengths.
It helps you see more clearly:
- What you are naturally great at that others need you for
- What type of work and projects you should (and should not) engage in
- What blind spots you need to mitigate in order to stop sabotaging yourself
It is like finally receiving the user manual to that particular “body-and-brain machine” of yours 🙂
It helps you make better choices and set better goals.
To do more of what you love and are naturally great at, and losing less time and energy fulfilling expectations of yourself or others about things you are simply not designed to be doing.
How my sessions work
In the sessions I offer, I combine 1) the physical tests to discover your MBTI-type and your drivers, 2) the personality reading, and 3) the application to your current goals and challenges.
First, we take 15 to 20 minutes to do the physical tests.
Then, we speak about your profile and your current goals and challenges in work or in life.
We use your profile’s strengths, weaknesses, needs, fears, and stress factors to make sense of your current situation, and identify potential courses of action towards your goals and challenges. We will see the theory of how your type moves through life, and apply it on your practical example(s).
After the session you receive:
- A detailed written profile description + links to videos that teach you more about your type
- My personal recommendations for your next steps in regards to your goals and challenges
You are free to make an audio recording of our session, so you can always listen back to it.
What others say
Kristof, entrepreneur
“Less self judgment, knowing my strengths.”
Raissa, entrepreneur
“I understand better what motivates me.”
Nikolai, entrepreneur
“A lot of knowledge and insight how to interact best with my core team members, and how they and I are best encouraged.”
Mark, health coach
“I was intruigued by the physical tests, and for everyone in the team the profile resonated strongly. If you want to help your team perform better, give Alex a call.”
Emanuele, group facilitator
“I understand better where I stand in my power and where to channel my energies.”
Ugne, community lead
“It helped me strengthen the relationships with the people around me.”
“Alexander checked my personality type and actual body feedback, and we found out it was a different type than when I gave answers with my head.
With these insights, I felt peaceful and confident to be different than I thought I must be. I now understand that I love to do more projects simultaneously, which gives me joy and energy.
Already the next day, I created a collaboration with a co-founder. To be in my power, I feel so much more energy and flow, and I can even make a more significant impact.
As an Entrepreneur type, I like to do those things! Thank you, Alexander; this is a true gift!“
“My passion for building inspiring culture led me in the continuous search of understanding why people do what they do and how to communicate with different personalities.
I thought I knew how to discover what drives people with a couple of well-known personality tests. Until the day that, in a matter of a few hours, Alexander boosted my own skills and knowledge by doing specific tests to understand the connections between my personality, my drives, and my own body.
It was mind-blowing and ever since I have enjoyed increasing results. Now I’m enjoying the compounding effect of real consistency with purpose!”
“My personality type test with Alex has been a really great experience. He helped me understand how our personality forms and why it is important to know what your body feels comfortable doing.
The session didn’t take very long. It helped me understand myself better and learn why I do things the way I do them, or why I do them differently than other people.
Doing further reading about my personality type helped me strengthen my relationships with the people around me.
So it is great and I really recommend it!”
