The research behind Insights Discovery
Insights Discovery draws on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types to describe differences in how people process information and make decisions.
Insights, the assessment’s developer, publishes research on its reliability and validity. Its validation factsheet reports strong consistency across the four color energy scales in a sample of more than 33,000 people, plus a separate study of 6,250 people who completed the assessment twice.
