You’re about to get real clarity, and a place to start the journey of a lifetime!
In about 10 minutes, you’ll discover which Core Character Traits are currently supporting you — and which ones may be quietly draining your emotional energy, relationships, or leadership confidence. Your results will indicate where to start for the best ROI, so you can stop working harder and start working smarter.
After you finish, be sure to download the MIPP Growth Guide. It provides a simple “start here” plan to strengthen the inner abilities that make everything else easier.

You’ll be scored against the following key areas:
Attachment
Developing deep, secure connections — building trust, emotional safety, and meaningful relationships
Separation
Developing a strong, independent sense of self — building identity, boundaries, and interdependent relationships
Integration
Embracing wholeness by accepting both good and bad — moving from a good self to a loved self
Authority
Developing a strong, confident, and impactful leadership identity — moving from seeking approval to having a voice & empowering others
Core Character Traits
Emotionally and relationally healthy, high-achieving individuals tend to share four Core Character Traits — Attachment, Separation, Integration, and Authority—which shape how they see themselves, relate to others, and navigate life.
These traits are not just personality features but also deeply rooted structures shaped by early relational experiences, and they comprise micro-abilities that develop over time. When nurtured, they create a strong internal foundation for personal growth, healthy relationships, and professional success.
Deficits in these traits—often stemming from unmet developmental needs or trauma—can lead to emotional struggles and dysfunctional relational patterns. But symptoms are not the core issue; they are signals pointing to deeper work needed. By intentionally strengthening the Core Character Traits through Corrective Relational Experiences, individuals can experience lasting transformation, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.
