Regarding SDI and MBTI |

SDI - Strength Deployment Inventory |
Red-Green |
SDI provides team members with clues about how to improve relationships; clues to who you are, who I am and how we can have a rewarding relationship. It does not measure performance but acts as a mirror reflecting back those behaviors we find rewarding. It allows discovery of what motivates and drives us, what contributes to our self worth. It can show us how to create rewarding relationships, and reveals how other team members would like to be treated.
