Odin Development Compass

The ODC (Odin Development Compass) is a tool that taps into the unconscious to reveal your true self.

After 10 minutes you’ll discover your natural strengths, unconscious drives and valuable potential that may currently be hidden.

It begins with a simple online questionnaire. Unlike traditional questionnaires, which are limited by conscious self-reporting and language interpretation, the ODC combines images and words to identify the unconscious elements of your personality, behaviour and potential.

It’s very easy to complete. For example, rather than a long list of questions, you’ll see an image of eight archetypal figures. Some will naturally appeal to you, others won’t. Then, from a selection of 24 skills, you choose 10 which suit you best. Life is more satisfying when you’re working with natural strengths, and you probably have more than you realise.

ODC Applications

On average, we use just 65% of our talent. The remaining 35% is a wasted opportunity. Imagine being able to use every ounce of your natural abilities.

System Integration

The ODC software system can be expanded or adapted to suit your own organization’s needs.

ODC for individuals

When you’re at a crossroads in your life or career, the ODC (Odin Development Compass) helps you move confidently in the right direction.

Imagine being able to answer these questions with true personal insight:

  • Does my work really suit me?
  • Which tasks give me energy? And which ones drain my energy?
  • I run into the same obstacles in every job. How can I break this pattern?
  • Which leadership qualities do I have?
  • How do I learn? Which type of education suits me best?
  • How can I become fitter and healthier, and prevent burn-out?

The ODC can help you answer these questions and many others. Unlike traditional methods, the ODC measurement uses a series of words and images to tap into your unconscious drives. By doing so, it gives an unusually rich insight into both the conscious and unconscious elements of your personality, behaviour and potential.

We all have things that come easily to us because they chime with our natural strengths. Other things take up a great deal of time and energy, and may even cause unhappiness.

The ODC helps you focus on what comes naturally – and discover new skills and opportunities you never knew were there.
