This is a unique book, unlike any other personality profile you will ever read or see. I knew S. Seich and worked closely with her for sometime. To read this book means you understand humanity in general. I still use my knowledge of the 3 SIDES OF YOU in life and in my work. I welcome any comments or request for more information.

Unlock Your Life Purpose
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
3 Sides of You by S. Seich is a unique book built around a personality test that is available only on the web. The test itself is called the Profiler™ which is a self-perception inventory. The Profiler™ contains three sections of 56 questions (168 questions total) which test how you Think, Work, and Love. When you've finished the test, the results are a 3-sided profile and Boss Style. The possible combinations are 2,744, which makes for a very individualized assessment. In the ANSIR system (ANSIR stands for A New Standard In Relating), an individual is assigned a Profile Boss. Boss determines Life Purpose; that is, this purpose draws together innate strengths and talents of dominant support Styles (the other 2 Styles in the profile that aren't Boss) and pretty much dictates and shapes these Styles toward self fulfillment. Life Purpose is never Thinking--only Working and Emoting. This is the drive and juice for our individual purposes. Five of the Styles find fufillment through work (Idealist, Visionary, Healer, Philosopher, and sometimes Evokateur) and the rest of the Styles find fulfillment through the Emoting realm. Since it seems that the areas the individuals are most unhappy in are work and love, it makes sense that the Life Purpose Boss would be in either of those two realms. According to the book, Thinking is a discernible, predictable pattern of balancing and applying knowledge. How individuals process order, solve problems, and rationalize outcomes. Working is the conscious application of knowledge according to acquried skills and innate abilities of individuals. Emoting is an unconscious response pattern guided by unique intangibles, such as emotions, feelings, and nature. Boss (Life Purpose) is your profiled "why"--your reason for being. The 14 Boss Styles in the ANSIR system are as follows: The Physicals Extremists; Realist Keenest intellect is through physical interaction. The Instinctives Scintillator; Sentinel Keenest intellect is from muscular feedback/gut smarts. The Logicals Diligent; Sage Keenest intellect is rationalization. The Practicals Eccentrik; Idealist Keenest intellect is solution determination. The Emotionals Kinsmen; Empath Keenest intellect is emotion sensitivity. The Intuitives Visionary; Evokateur Keenest is emotion-based guidance. The Spiritualists Healer; Philosopher Keenest intellect is self-reliance. I've have taken many personality tests on the web and on paper, but I've never encountered a personality system that's based on self-perception and self-propulsion, and that concentrates on the individual as knowing what's best and why. Also, the Ansir system is heavy on what's right with you as opposed to why you're defective and need "fixed". Ansir maintains that there's nothing wrong with you--that it's a matter of removing reticence, and living your life as born and meant. 3 Sides of You: Unlocking The Way You Think, Work, and Love is a hefty 516 pages that gives you indepth and practical information o

I'm a middle aged man who lost his job in a downsizing and was struggling to figure out what to do next. I came across ANSIR, took the test and bought the book. It showed me the real ME, and for the very first time, I realized I'd been pursuing a life that simply wasn't "me". I've since found a more natural occupation and am (so far) living happily ever after. I STRONGLY recommend this book to anyone at a crossroads in their life, regardless of what that might be.
I did the test at ansir.com and then I bought the book

If you are looking for an "inside body" experience, do the test then read this book!The test was hard and it took me more than an hour to finish. Then when I got the results I adjusted my scores until the answers were more true for me. The test is an eye opener but that was nothing compared to all that the full story told me. I don't know where the author S. Seich learned all this detailed information about people but he nailed me better than my own mother or wife could. This is important information and I urge anyone who is looking for career guidance or searching for love to read this book today. I never realized until I read this book that things about me I'd taken for granted are really the things that I should trust and lean on to be successful. Life purpose is something I never thought about until now. Everybody has one and thanks to this book I'm certain about my own life purpose and how to go about what the authro calls fulfilling it. Every man, woman, and child would be better off they understood themselves better. It makes so much sense when you see it in writing I'm surprised that I've lived 31 years and never heard of it. You'll feel good about yourself and learn something that will change your life when you read this book. Do yourself a favor! Take the test first then buy the book.

This well-written, well-organized and deeply insightful book gives you the opportunity to see yourself in a way you've never seen you before. Many people feel that no one understands them or they are "freaks". This book shows you why you are you, what is important for you to be you, and how you can fit into the scheme of things. It gets into life purpose and skills unique to different types of folks. For me, reading this gave me a great "Ah ha" and realized that my casting about for a path was for a purpose, and helped me more clearly plan by accounting for my true self in the process. It was a wonderful mirror to use. I recommend this book for anyone interested in better understanding themselves.
