Supporting Coaching Practice with the Identity Personality Questionnaire
Coaching professionals and coaching psychologists work in increasingly complex organisational environments, supporting individuals and teams through change, growth and transition. High-quality assessment tools play an important role in this work, providing structured insight that enhances reflection, deepens understanding and supports meaningful development conversations.
Coaching Psychologists within Business
The Identity Personality Questionnaire is designed to support coaching practice by offering a robust, occupationally focused understanding of workplace behaviour, motivation and preferred ways of working. Used ethically and reflectively, it can enhance both individual and organisational coaching outcomes.

Identity and Self-awareness
At the core of Identity is a focus on self-awareness — a fundamental element of effective coaching. The questionnaire helps individuals explore how they approach work, interact with others, manage pressure and respond to change. For coaches, this provides a shared, evidence-based framework that supports richer dialogue, clearer goal setting and more focused development planning.
Identity Provides Seven Occupational Reports
Identity is supported by a suite of seven occupational reports, enabling coaches to tailor feedback and insight to different contexts and coaching objectives. These reports can support areas such as leadership development, role fit, team contribution and remote or hybrid working practices. By selecting the most relevant report, coaches can ensure feedback is purposeful, practical and aligned to the individual’s real-world work environment.
Identity Traits - Work Together To Understand Workplace Preferences
For coaching psychologists in particular, Identity aligns well with psychologically informed practice. It supports hypothesis generation, reflective exploration and collaborative meaning-making, rather than labelling or prescriptive interpretation. This makes it well suited to developmental coaching, executive coaching and organisational interventions where nuance and ethical application are essential.
Enables Coaches to Contribute to Wider Organisational Outcomes
At an organisational level, the Identity reports can help coaches support clients to better understand workforce behaviour, engagement and working preferences, particularly in hybrid and evolving work contexts. This enables coaching to contribute not only to individual development, but also to wider organisational outcomes such as inclusion, wellbeing and sustainable performance.
Executive Coaches, Internal Coaches, HR & Talent Professionals
By integrating the Identity Personality Questionnaire into their practice, coaching professionals can enhance the depth, consistency and impact of their work — supporting individuals, teams and organisations with insight that is relevant, practical and grounded in occupational psychology.
Coaching professionals are invited to access a 30-day, no-cost trial of the Identity Personality Questionnaire. This trial provides full access to the questionnaire and its suite of seven occupational reports, allowing practitioners to experience how Identity can support reflective practice, feedback and development work before deciding whether it is the right fit for their work.
