A Root Code is the smallest unit for describing how you operate inside.
Everyone has a Primary Root that switches on most naturally, plus a Secondary Root that comes next.
They aren't personality labels. They are your user manual.
The 12 Root Codes come from long observation of, and conversations with, people who sense before they explain. They are all sensitive, but to different things: some to emotion, some to structure, some to rhythm. We organized the ways of operating that kept showing up into 12 patterns, and built a 24-situation test to help you locate your Primary and Secondary Roots.
So far there are 3,906 test results, and the system keeps moving toward quantitative validation (reliability and validity analysis). It is a tool that keeps evolving, not a doctrine beyond question. The 12 Root Codes are a working model that is still being validated.
Click in to meet each Root Code: its traits, what it looks like when steady and when off balance, and its colors.
Each of the twelve ways of operating has its own theme song. This one brings them together.
