Understanding your results
Make sense of your team's working habits and turn your results into practical next steps.
Your Team Profile
Your TeamDynamics describe the working habits shared by your team. Everyone on the team shares the same team type.
No team type is better or worse. Your team can use both approaches in each dimension; the result shows which it tends to rely on more naturally.

16 team types
One preference from each of four dimensions combines into a four-letter type. Together, the possible combinations form 16 team types.
Explore the 16 team types →Your CoDynamics
Your CoDynamics compare your own working preferences with your team's habits.
Natural fit means your preferences align with the team's approach. These situations may feel more comfortable. Potential tension means you prefer a different approach. Recognizing these situations helps you prepare and ask for support.
Think of a recent situation: what felt comfortable or difficult, and what would help next time? Use your CoDynamics to decide which working differences you want to discuss with your manager or teammates.

If you took TeamDynamics Solo
TeamDynamics Solo reflects one person's view of how a team works. It is an estimate from your answers, rather than a combined view from team members.
Explore a sample Solo result →Put your results to work
Set aside 45–90 minutes to discuss your results and agree on practical working norms.
Get oriented
Introduce the four dimensions and how you will use them together.
Explore your results
Compare the results with real team experiences. Invite personal reflections without requiring anyone to discuss their CoDynamics.
Plan next steps
Agree on a few working norms, who will put them into practice, and when to review them.
If you manage or support a team
Use these patterns to ask what support helps each person do their best work. Discuss specific situations and agree on practical adjustments, rather than assigning people a label.

Team assessments work best once you have worked together for at least four weeks, with shared experiences to reflect on. Revisit your results about twice a year, or when the team or its context changes.
