HOW IS YOUR BRAIN PLAYING SOCCER - FOOTBALL - BASKETBALL or JOB ... or whatelse?
Differences in humans are in part due to different personalities. Through genetic dispositions and our experiences throughout life, e.g. in our childhood and youth, our brains are unique in the way they function. The functioning of our brain is fairly consistent throughout life and influences how we perceive the world, the decisions we make, and how we behave. Hence, the functioning of our brain defines our unique personalities.
Personality manifests itself in various mental aspects, depending on the unique functioning of our brain:
- Underlying personality traits resulting from the characteristics of our central brain systems
- Self-regulation competencies
- Unconscious and conscious motives
- Cognitive competencies
- Interaction between cognitive systems and affects
- Only about 5 % of all processes in the brain take place in regions that allow for conscious processing
implicit & explicit in Dynamic
The MD SPORT & PROFILE is a modern personality test. Special about this test is its measurement of unconscious processes of our brain. 95% of our behaviour is the result of intuition and follows our typical mental and behavioural patterns, our personality.
The MD SPORT & PROFILE helps us to understand the way we perceive the world. This is important, as this is decisive for how we behave in different situations.
With the help of the MD SPORT & PROFILE, behaviour can be optimized, which is especially important and beneficial in sports. The MD SPORT & PROFILE has been proven and tested: with the test results in hand, many athletes and coaches from various sports were able to learn more about themselves and others. While delivering input for self-development, the test results also allow for refinement of mental strategies applied during competition.
The test report is 16 pages long and includes analyses and statements about the following:
personal strengths and weaknesses, team-, leadership-, stress-, and conflict behaviour, the preferred way of communication, and advice on personal and mental development (from the perspective of both athlete and coach).
How does Mental Dynamic Diagnostic works?
The MD SPORT & PROFILE is conducted online. After receiving a TAN, a web link to the test, you copy the link into your browser and you are ready to go. The completion of the test takes about 8-10 minutes. The test does not include any explicit questions. Instead you are presented several visual tasks that measure how you perceive the world around you. Because of the implicit nature of this test, participants may be as young as 10 or 11 years of age.
The test should be taken in a silent environment (no spectators, no smart phones, etc.).
The results are available in form of a personalized report approximately 3 days after the completion of the test. You got a mail with your report in PDF-form. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TEST-REPORT RIGHT AWAY and read it.
In a personal talk I analyse the special mental dynamic of your report (in 60 minutes). And I answer your questions.
Diagnostics
Taking the MD SPORT & PROFILE test oftentimes yields fascinating results. Being an athlete, how do you perceive the competition? How does your brain judge various situations during competition? How well trained are your perception systems? What is your intuitive and instinctive behaviour and how do you use this understanding for yourself? What are your motives and how do they drive your behaviour? All these aspects are analysed and help understand among other things how you make decisions and your ambition.
Team analysis
In team sports (or business), it doesn’t suffice when each athlete delivers her or his individual performance. The cooperation between team members and between the team and the coach needs to be optimized. The MD SPORT & PROFILE analyses the structure of teams and allows for predictions about optimal competitive strategies for teams. The MD SPORT & PROFILE further identifies a team leader who is best able to take on responsibilities specific to the needs of the team. Specific functions for each team member are identified, specific to the needs and capabilities of each athlete.
TAKING THE MD TEST
After ordering a Mental Dynamic Diagnostic you will receive an e-mail with your
- Test link
- Tan
- Description of the test conditions.
You will receive your results within two days. In a basic version (one page) as an overview and in a premium version (approx. 20 pages including two diagrams: Mental Dynamic Profile + Performance Tendencies)
We will then arrange an evaluation meeting - in person with your coach or via Zoom. The interview usually lasts around 90 minutes - depending on how things go and your questions.
Many combine it with a coaching topic and approx. 3 hours of coaching / mental training.
Note: The coaching hours depend on the topic and the intensity of the problem or goal.
The diagnostics are available in two versions:
You can choose between a SPORT or a MENTALITY + JOB diagnostic version. The test procedure is the same, only the profile description is adapted.

WHITEPAPER
OF PSYFIERS AG, SUISSE
PSI - THEORY
The diagnostics are primarily based on the PSI theory of Prof. Dr. Julius Kuhl (University of Osnabrück) and his motive theory according to situation and action orientation. PSI stands for Personality System Interaction.
In short: the macrosystems interact with each other. Affects and the two needs additionally activate the macrosystems. Depending on the activation and mental-emotional regulation by a person's self, he/she reacts in his/her mental dynamics and typical thought and action patterns.
