The LEONARD Personality Inventory (LPI) was designed by Professor Dr. Leonard Yong to profile behavioural preferences of individuals. The LPI is formulated based on the Five Factors Model (FFM) of human personality. It is anchored under the Types & Traits Theory of classical personality theories. An individual’s personality profile can be obtained from administration of the LPI. The LPI has been administered to thousands of individuals from Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The LEONARD Personality Inventory is named after the acronym Let’s Explore our personality based on Openness, Neutral, Analytical, Relational and Decisive behavioural tendencies.

The LPI can identify a person’s emotional orientation and locate a person’s preferred behavioural orientations on any of the five behavioural dimensions as stated above. The LPI yields 22 classical personality types such as the Creative Imaginator, Neutral Expert, Analytical Thinker, Relator and Decision-Maker. An individual’s personality can be profiled with the use of the LEONARD Personality Software.The LPI Software is a user-friendly computer program that can be used to determine the exact personality profile of the individual. Based on the personality profile obtained, the individual is given a number of suggestions and recommendations for personal improvement and enhancing teamwork with others. Other recommendations from the software analysis for the individual include suggestions to improve leadership styles, creativity and enhancing learning.

LPI & EQ
The primary use of the LPI is to assist individuals to develop self-awareness with regards to their emotional strengths and weaknesses. Research has shown that corporate leaders and outstanding entrepreneurs are not defined by their IQ’s or even their job skills, but by their “Emotional Intelligence”:a set of competencies that distinguishes how people manage feelings, interact and communicate.Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) continues to develop with life experiences. Understanding and raising your Emotional Intelligence is essential to your success and leadership potential. EQ is the barometer of excellence on virtually any job. The LPI facilitates the development of an individual’s EQ.
