The Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™ Assessment

Understanding how you respond when something shifts

The Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™ Assessment (formerly the Change Archetype Assessment) helps individuals understand how they naturally respond when change occurs, personally or professionally.

When stability, identity, or direction is disrupted, people don’t respond randomly. They default to internal patterns that influence how they think, feel, and move forward.

This assessment brings those patterns into focus.

Why Take the Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™ Assessment?

Most assessments describe personality or behavior.

The Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™ Assessment explains why change affects you the way it does and what helps you move forward.

It helps you understand:

  • what you default to when stability is disrupted

  • what you seek in order to regain equilibrium

  • what conditions support progress and those that create friction

Rather than telling you how you should respond to change or encouraging you to “push through,” it reflects how you naturally move through transition and helps you work with it.

For Leaders, Teams, and Organizations

People respond to change differently, and those differences are often misunderstood in organizations.

 

The Faria-Lequay Shift Pattern Index™ Assessment provides a shared language for understanding how individuals and teams experience transition, helping leaders support people more effectively during periods of change.
