REPRESENTATIONAL PREFERENCE TEST

TAKING THE 'REP TEST' ONLINE

‘The Meaning of Communication Is the Response We Get’

The Representational Systems refer to how people process the world around them. Four primary systems were identified through the study of NLP. These four clearly link to styles of unconscious communication, ways of learning and processing information.

You will have heard phrases such as “That sounds good to me” or “I see where you’re coming from”. These are not just learnt phrases but instead give us an insight into how that person’s mind is working.

The ‘Rep Test’ takes around five minutes to complete and will allow you to identify and be aware of yours and others’ favoured primary representational preference systems.

With this knowledge and awareness you are then able to communicate on an unconscious level in a way that enables you to build and maintain strong rapport.

Learn your primary representational system by completing the test below….

Understanding Your Results

Now you have your scores, here is some information to explain what they mean and the specific language used by each system. This will help you identify how those around you prefer to communicate and will enable you to modify the words you use to literally ‘speak their language’ and build long-lasting rapport.

There may be times in the past when you struggled to engage with others but didn’t understand why. Having the ability to identify people's preferred representational systems and adapt your language to put them at ease, can be a powerful tool for understanding, accepting and engaging with everyone on a deeper level.
