Nathan Bryce, the inventor of the patented Insight Personality Instrument and author of Standing Naked in the Shower and Four Lenses Unfolded, developed this content as a follow-up to his foundational work on human temperament. He believes happiness and success in life comes from not simply understanding what makes people tick, but by appreciating and accommodating the strengths and preferences of others, as well as emulating and adopting their greatest characteristics. That is the objective of the Nexus Quest.

Each course contains at least seven lessons. On average, each lesson is about 13 minutes in length, including time spent completing one of the assignments. Ideally, you would complete a lesson in one session, completing a different lesson every day. Research indicates that if we work on a new attitude or behavior for as little as 13 minutes a day, every day, at the end of 13 weeks we will have turned it into an automatic habit.

The first lesson of each course features a PDF download that will serve as your workbook or journal for each course. The lesson also contains a video introduction, recorded by the course author, which outlines what will be covered in the course. The following six lessons each focus on a different attribute or facet of the virtue. Each lesson contains 3 to 5 paragraphs which explain what that aspect looks like and how to acquire it. After reading the content, you will find at least two assignments that you can complete to help you learn and practice. The more time you spend with the exercises, the more successful you will be.

No. This is an individualized self-improvement website that tracks your activity and progress. Furthermore, as you complete assessments, lessons, and assignments, you may reveal personal information that you may not want others to access. If you find this website helpful, we encourage you to invite those around you to acquire their own subscriptions.

What Do Participants Say?

This content is filled with life-changing insights on the human family. It has enhanced my personal and professional relationships because I can now interact and connect with different personality types in ways that are important to them.
Richard Paul Evans
Salt Lake City, Utah

This type of training really sells itself because you go in and before long everyone has an "a-ha" or "now I get it" experience. It has most definitely had a profound effect on my success and the success of my staff.
Connie Kunkel
Sioux Falls, South Dakota

The strength of the course materials, assessments, and strategies made this professional development effort one of the most successful ever attempted. The evidence of the effectiveness of the program is overwhelming.
Maryanna Hubbard

This program will help you to know a lot more about the important people in your life. The insights you will gain will make you a better husband or wife, a better father or mother, and a better son or daughter. It is fun to complete and easy to put into practice.
