MAP (personality) report prompt overview
Generates a nuanced, integrative personality narrative from MAP data. It weaves together the five Big Five domains and their 25 subscales, explains how traits interact in real life (emotional regulation, balance between steadiness and adaptability, tension/compensation patterns), and ends with a concise Influence & Impact Style. The text is development-oriented, practical, and suitable for recruitment, development, or coaching contexts.
What you provide
-
Locale (language/market) so the report reads like a native consultant wrote it.
-
Five domain levels (EX, AG, CO, ES, OP) and 25 subscale levels (EX1–EX5, …, OP1–OP5).
-
Levels are interpreted as LOW (0–2), MODERATE (3–7), HIGH (8–10)—the report never prints numbers.
How the prompt writes (rules it follows)
-
Locale-native voice from the outset (idiomatic, professional, gender-neutral).
-
No score talk: uses LOW/MODERATE/HIGH language only; no brackets, no numeric bands.
-
Cohesive narrative—not a list—grounded in everyday, cross-industry work examples (projects, deadlines, stakeholder work, team routines).
-
Explains what behaviors look like, gives 3–5 micro-examples, and ends sections with 1–2 realistic suggestions(habits, routines, environment tweaks).
-
Uses the metamodel without technical labels (e.g., says “steady, socially grounded style” rather than “Alpha”).
What each domain means (in plain language the report draws on)
-
Extraversion (EX): energy, visibility, pace, positive affect (subscales: Social Need, Social Image, Work Pace, Risk-Taking, Cheerfulness).
-
Agreeableness (AG): trust, diplomacy, helpfulness, compassion, conflict stance.
-
Conscientiousness (CO): structure, ambition, discipline, decision approach.
-
Emotional Stability (ES): calm/confidence, mood stability, self-control, stress tolerance.
-
Openness (OP): imagination, aesthetics, self-reflection, variety seeking, intellectual curiosity.
Sections the prompt produces
1) Behavioural Summary
A compact “how this person typically shows up” section (6–8 sentences): energy, social style, working style, structure and pace, openness to new ideas—anchored in the most notable highs/lows across domains and subscales. Concludes with headline strengths and clear development points. (No interaction analysis here; that comes next.)
2) Dynamic Personality Themes
Explains how traits work together in practice, using applied language:
-
Emotional regulation: how steadiness vs. sensitivity shapes expression under pressure.
-
Balance of steadiness and adaptability: reliability/consistency vs. exploration/curiosity—when each shines.
-
Tension & compensation patterns: where contrasting tendencies balance (e.g., discipline + creativity) or where one habit compensates for another (e.g., structure to manage uncertainty).
-
Context sensitivity: what shifts in stable vs. changing environments.
Keeps it human and concrete, noting both positive expressions and overextensions (e.g., precision tipping into perfectionism).
3) Influence & Impact Style
Short, applied close describing how this person tends to influence and affect others (everyday collaboration, not just formal leadership): visibility and energy, trust-building, use of structure/standards, creativity/vision, and how emotional tone is managed. Ends with a one-line note on where their impact is strongest and a forward-looking suggestion.
Authoring safeguards (baked into the prompt)
-
Gender-neutral (“this person / this candidate”).
-
No technical labels in the output (e.g., never “Alpha/Beta”); use everyday phrasing like steady, socially grounded, curious, exploratory.
-
No parenthetical translations; scale names appear only in the chosen language.
-
Each section ends with a brief, future-focused comment (how the style can mature with experience).
Example of how it reads (tone & structure)
-
Behavioural Summary: “The profile suggests a generally steady, structured way of working with a visible but measured social style. Day to day, this shows up as clear preparation, thoughtful decisions, and reliable follow-through. Openness to new approaches is present, especially when tied to business impact…”
-
Dynamic Themes: “When demands spike, steadiness supports calm decision-making; however, the same preference for structure can edge toward over-planning. Pairing planning with simple ‘good-enough’ rules preserves quality without slowing flow…”
-
Influence & Impact Style: “Others are likely to experience this person as calm and dependable. Influence comes through preparation and clarity rather than volume. The strongest impact emerges in settings that value reliability and considered change; with deliberate practice, this person can add sharper storytelling for high-stakes moments.”
Practical tips for users
-
Pick locale first and confirm levels—they drive the narrative.
-
Add a one-line context (e.g., customer operations, product scale-up) to make examples feel native.
-
Use with Report Studio → Personality (MAP) template; capture hiring or coaching decisions in Notes.
-
For risk-focused audiences, pair with Extremes; for job fit, pair with a Match template.
