Mindset, Attitude and Personality

Neurobiology governs behavior.  Decisions impact neurobiology.

 

 

A new study derived from a global survey of business leaders, reveals a leader's perceived and predicted behavioral patterns correlate with the mindset, attitude and personality components of the brain.

 

The study looks at behavior from a neurological perspective, mapping individual behavior from three views that correspond to three domains namely:   Mindset,  Attitude and Personality.   The three different views or dimensions provide a “viewer” with both a clearer and more complete representation than a single personality perspective. 

 

The MINDSET (M) domain indicates:  the way a human BRAIN categorizes data and   how individuals perceive the external environment.

The framework of this domain consists of three categories (or slices) labeled:  Success, Growth & Happiness.  

 

Based on the structure of the brain, the three categorizations correlate with the LEFT hemisphere, the Corpus Callosum (CC) and the RIGHT hemisphere. 

·         LEFT brain: functional & operational faculties necessary for application & success

·         BRIDGE (CC): inter-hemispheric connections necessary for understanding & growth

·         RIGHT brain:  relational & ideational faculties necessary for engagement & happiness

The ATTITUDE (A) domain indicates:  how a human BRAIN differentiates the three motivational attitudes and  “in pursuit of pleasure” or “aimed at a purpose” or “avoiding pain”.

The framework of this domain consists of three attitudes (or panels) labeled : Pursuance, Fruitfulness & Avoidance. 

Based on the structure of the brain, the three attitudes correlate with the FOREBRAIN (frontal lobes), the MIDDLE panel (parietal lobes) & the HINDBRAIN (occipital lobes).

·         FRONT brain: exciter & stimulation functions trigger pleasure seeking & risk PURSUANCE

·         MIDDLE brain: aspiration & purpose functions trigger goal setting responses & FRUITFULNESS

·         BACK brain: inhibitor & restraint functions trigger pain avoidance & risk AVOIDANCE

The PERSONALITY (P) domain indicates:  the way a human BRAIN processes data and information internally and how individuals think, feel and evaluate 'events' and 'things'. 

The framework of this domain consists of three processing regions (or layers) labeled:  Reason, Volition & Emotion.

Based on the structure of the brain, the three regions correlate with the UPPER (rational) cortical region, the CORE (volitional) thalamus region and the LOWER (emotional) limbic region and (instinctive) brain stem:

·         UPPER brain: cerebral and cortical functions that manifest as RATIONAL BELIEFS

·         NEXUS (core): VOLITIONAL functions that transform VALUES into discriminations & decisions

·         LOWER brain: visceral and limbic functions that manifest as EMOTION feelings & gut instincts
