[Personality Test] I got a PCM diagnosis! Learn about your characteristics and use them in your work
table of contents
Hello
I'm miyoshi, recruiting at Beyond Co., Ltd.
As for private matters, I just went to Hong Kong and Macau the other day.
It was my first time abroad in a year, but I found it interesting to go to an unfamiliar place.
There are many things you can understand by experiencing it yourself, not by someone else's experiences online.
It was also fun to be able to have fun with people from other countries with the atmosphere and gestures, even if they didn't understand the language.
I'd like to talk about the PCM diagnosis that I took two months ago (although it was quite a while ago)
At Beyond, all of our employees receive this diagnosis and training.
I love analyzing myself and others, so I've been looking forward to it all the time.
PCM diagnosis involves classifying a person's personality and communication style into six characteristics, and considering how to communicate based on each individual's "personality type.
In other words, it seems like you can get some hints on how to know your "type" and better interact with other people.
In this article, we would like to introduce PCM diagnosis while taking into account the realizations you have received after receiving the diagnosis.
What is PCM diagnosis? ~Overview of six characteristics~
As I mentioned briefly earlier, PCM (Process Communication Model) diagnosis a communication model that divides a person's personality into six characteristics .
Each trait has its own way of thinking, behavior patterns, and sources of motivation, and understanding your own and other person's traits will allow for smooth communication.
Based on the idea that each person has a different type of communication, each type has a different way of communicating and using energy.
1. Thinker:
Think backwards from your goals and proceed efficiently and rationally.
- Create patterns and order that are rational for you.
- Good at planning and advance preparation.
- He speaks calmly and faces without expression, and has many questions.
2. Persister -
Proactively expresses your own opinions and prefers to discuss with others.
・Be dedicated to those who recognize their value.
- Place something around you that shows your own preferences.
・Speak with a serious, confident expression.
3. Imaginer -
Relaxed and objective. You can see the whole picture, including yourself.
-I like to have a rich inner world and be quietly alone.
-If you have clear instructions, you can do monotonous tasks silently without worrying about them.
- Speak quietly and silently, without taking the lead in the conversation.
4. Rebel -
"I'll do it because I want to do it," and there's no other reason.
- He has sharp intuition and inspiration, and has free and flexible imagination.
・I just love fun things.
- He expresses joy, anger, sorrow and happiness directly and speaks with a rich expression.
5. Promoter
, excellent adaptability to the environment, and resistant to pressure.
-Has negotiation and persuasive power that drives people to act.
・It has the feeling that "I'm not like other people."
-Speaking straightforwardly, his words are straightforward.
6. Harmonizer -

・More than anything, we value relationships with family and friends.

In addition, PCM diagnosis allows you to use two concepts: "base" and "phase"
A base is a trait that represents a person's basic personality and values. It is said to be a natural temperament, and is said to remain unchanged forever. This is the foundation of everyday behavior and ways of thinking. When you are feeling stressed, the characteristics of the base appear particularly strong.
Phases also represent the current psychological state and source of motivation. It can change in life, especially when it comes to major events or changes in the environment. This is the trait that is currently the most influenced, so it is apparently very visible in work and interpersonal relationships.
I took a PCM diagnosis!
Now, my diagnosis results were " Bass: Pasister " and " Phase: Imaginer ".
It turns out that the sinker and level are already 100%, and the phase has already been cleared.
It's not all, but I think it's quite impressive.
It is certain that I have been in a phase (imaginator) who has been interested in the inner world for the past two years and loves to express that worldview in its own way.
When I was in college, I liked fun, and I feel like I was driven by the urge to do it because I wanted to do it. (Level)
Looking back at me when I was in high school, I was quite a purposeful person, so I didn't like to do anything that I thought was a waste of money. (Sinker)
(Now, it seems like it's not wasting at all)
But in common, I think Pasister has always had the potential to be a Pasister.
It's been hit (;・∀・)
What I noticed after receiving a PCM diagnosis
After receiving my PCM diagnosis, I noticed three major things:
1. I'm a passista type who sometimes makes decisions too slow
, so I'm a good at taking everything carefully. However, being too careful can slow down. Even though we know that the impression of events and objects that act changes and learn a lot about them, we end up thinking in our heads >>> action.
If you're not ready in many ways, you can become scared or cautious.
Sometimes I feel that it takes courage to "make a decision soon" and "make a decision soon."
2. The importance of having a moderate philosophy
Because Imaginators have their own unique perspective, when it is difficult to convey their emotions, it can lead to misunderstandings and it is difficult to convey their true intentions when communicating with others. Also, when you are moved by strong emotions, you may become confined to your inner world. When you have an ideology that is too unique or you feel like you are turning your back to the world, you have to make an effort to get back to your senses. I once again realized that having a moderate philosophy is important for building a balanced perspective and interpersonal relationships, whilst valuing a unique perspective.
I realized that it is important to try to communicate with someone else's filters, whether it's at work or in private, where understanding the differences between others reduces stress Also, getting to know each other makes it easier to understand what style they have. For example, while you have the characteristics of a "sinker" and place importance on logical explanations, if the other person is a "harmonizer", you will find that an approach that values emotions and empathy is required. Being aware of communication tailored to your style will help reduce miscommunication.
I also learned about my strengths, but I also realized that the harmonizer and promoter elements are not yet fully fulfilled. This is the part that we need to consciously develop from now on.
summary
The PCM diagnosis was very interesting!
I found it attractive that by learning about your traits, you can develop what you are good at and think about countermeasures for areas you are not good at.
I was a rare type of combination, but the instructor said that because I am not a majority, it is often expressed in negative terms, and I felt that a balance between individuality and harmony is necessary. Being happy about yourself doesn't necessarily make you happy for the other person, and vice versa.
It is difficult to truly understand feelings and vocabulary that do not exist within you, but I think I was able to learn about the thought process that people have through PCM testing.
We would like to use PCM diagnosis for future recruitment activities and internal communications.
If you join Beyond, you will definitely take the course, so please look forward to it.
