I.D.™: 8147

Paul began a quest more than 20 years ago to understand what makes people tick, why they do the things they do and what needs to happen for people to operate at their best. At that time, his drive to create the I.D. System® was born and his intense, passionate life journey began.

Paul has explored and studied every theory and profiling tool on the market for decades, and continues to find that they generally measure behavior – not drive or motivation. He created the I.D. System® to fill that void. In 1991, after extensive research, Paul discovered the four Instinctive Drives that make up the I.D.™

Two decades later, the I.D. System® remains unchanged, but the range of situations, experiences and practical applications for the system continue to grow and develop. Over 30,000 people have taken their I.D. ™ and experienced its impact, and that number grows every day.

As CEO, author and globally recognized expert, Paul continues to seek ways in which I.D.™ can impact people’s lives. He is committed to product development and constantly creates new tools, techniques and strategies to ensure that people tap into their life purpose and reach their full potential.

From his work across generations and industries, Paul inspires and drives people to be at their best. Elite athletes, including Olympic swimmers, parents of children diagnosed with ADD, and SVPs in global organizations all seek his perspective, guidance and strategic advice.

In addition, Paul is personally involved with:

The coaching and development of senior consultants
Global clients at the most senior level, particularly Cisco Systems
Facilitation of corporate change in organizations
Helping leaders build extraordinary teams around the world.

He has recently published his first book, Natural Born Success.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Paul Burgess

There really is no magic process or tool that can transform a team or person into high performing overnight. I believe however that team self awareness and effective communication greatly enable that transformation. Instinctive Drives is a great process to facilitate both of those things.

The I.D. helped me better understand my own coaching style and how it impacted on each swimmer – according to their different I.Ds. … it had a profound impact on the squad as a team, on each of the children who applied it (6 of them went on to become Olympians and members of the Australian Swim team), on their families and certainly on my coaching and future career. In fact the one athlete whose father was skeptical and therefore did not participate in the program was the only one … who I believed was held back from being an Olympian and from having a successful tertiary education experience and career.

Foreword By Greg Hodge

Former Head Coach, Australian Swim Team

In my work with psychometric test research in the field of Organisational Behaviour, I have not seen anything get so quickly to the core of what makes someone tick. The most stunning and revolutionary thing to me is that, strong validity exists for the system as a whole, not just the profiling tool. It is extremely clever in that it goes beyond any other tool that I’ve seen to truly be an integrated system of diagnostic profile and practical proven strategies with holistic applications (in both the business and personal arenas).

I’ve been exposed to many tools and processes but of all of them (and my entire team agree), this is the first time it’s gotten to who they really are – like a DNA. It’s the only one that absolutely nails you. It gets to what’s inside the person - like a blood test – and you can’t fool it.

The I.D. has an accuracy that I’ve never experienced before. It’s insights are profound and the strategies completely practical. I have used the I.D. professionally and personally for almost 15 years. As a tool, it’s simply part of the way I operate now and within my team, it’s a spoken language.

One of the things that I particularly like is that there is no inherent value judgement about one I.D. being better than another - so instead of people being preoccupied by what their ‘profile’ says about them they are free to focus on other people and how to get on with them. The I.D. has brought significant self realisation to the team which has broken down barriers, improved communication and has had a big impact on our productivity.

Getting Started With Paul Burgess

Do you often ask yourself questions like:

Why do I leave everything to the last minute?
Why can I never say no to people? I end up spreading myself so thinly that I have no time for myself.
Why do I get bored so easily? Do I just lack discipline?
I've got lots of ideas about what I could do, but I'm stuck - why can't I get started?
Why do I find it so hard to let go and be spontaneous?
Why do I avoid confrontation so much? If only I could speak up and tell people what I think and need.
Why do I worry so much about all the things that might go wrong?
Why don't other people 'get' me?

Of course we all have questions like this about ourselves. What is not so obvious is that the answers are likely to be very different for you than for almost anyone else around you.

What is I.D. particularly in relation to personality profiles, behavioural or psychometrics tests?

I.D. stands for Instinctive Drives™ and it represents a revolution in psychometric profiling. Creator of the I.D. System™, Paul Burgess believes that ... "... everyone has their own innate and instinctive 'natural operating system’, regardless of conditioning, upbringing, attitudes or beliefs".

I.D. is the only tool in the world that can identify what that is - with stunning accuracy. Your I.D. identifies:

What you NEED to be able to act, to feel fulfilled and to make decisions
What your natural, inbuilt TALENTS are
Where your VULNERABILITIES or blindspots lie.

How does I.D. work?

Your unique combination of the four Instinctive Drives is identified when you answer our simple questionnaire, then an I.D. report unique to you is produced and sent directly to you.

The personal insights and strategies in the report will instantly give you a deeper understanding of yourself, why you do the things you do, your underlying motivation and what you really want and need out of life.

So my I.D. tells me what kind of person I am, right? It's not about personality?

Yes it does, but what is truly revolutionary about the I.D. System as a whole is that we also provide you with practical and proven strategies to help you leverage your natural talents and manage your vulnerabilities and blindspots. These will help you learn, develop and grow into the best partner, friend, colleague, athlete, student, leader or worker you can be.

The difference with our strategies is that they really work. Why? Because we know your I.D.! We know what makes you tick, we know what you need to be able to act, feel fulfilled and make decisions, so we can provide simple and practical strategies that will work for you.

But I've tried so many personal development tools before.
What's different about I.D.?

The reason why so many personal development tools fail is because they rely on fairly radical changes in behaviour or box people as a particular personality type. The reality is that for most people this just doesn’t stick.

Because I.D. uncovers why you do the things you do, it reveals what instincts drive and motivate you. Where the I.D. System is revolutionary is that we use those very instincts to move you to action. By tapping into what comes naturally anyway, things actually get done!
