A client states, 'I keep doing the same things because they've always worked before.' Which meta-program does this most directly reflect?
Answer: Match (Sameness) sorting
Match or Sameness sorters notice what stays the same and are motivated by consistency and continuity with past patterns.
In NLP meta-program profiling, the 'convincer channel' refers to which aspect of how someone forms beliefs?
Answer: The sensory system through which they receive convincing information
The convincer channel identifies whether the person is convinced primarily via visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or digital (internal dialogue) input.
A highly 'Active' meta-program individual, compared to a 'Reflective' one, is MORE likely to:
Answer: Jump into action and take initiative without lengthy deliberation
Active meta-program individuals initiate and act quickly, whereas Reflective individuals prefer to analyze and wait before moving.
Which statement BEST describes the 'Asocial/Social' meta-program dimension used in NLP personality profiling?
Answer: It measures whether a person prefers working alone or in groups on tasks
The Asocial/Social dimension describes a person's preference for solitary versus collaborative work environments and social interaction.
An NLP coach notices that a client only feels satisfied when her manager praises her work, even when she privately thinks it is her best effort. This indicates a predominantly:
Answer: External frame of reference
An External frame of reference means the person depends on outside feedback and approval rather than internal self-assessment to gauge success.
The 'convincer mode' meta-program specifically addresses which question about how a person becomes convinced?
Answer: How many repetitions or exposures are needed before belief forms
Convincer mode describes how many times (automatic, consistent, number of examples, or period of time) someone must experience something before being fully convinced.
When an NLP practitioner identifies that a client has a strong 'Future' time orientation, a practical implication for coaching is to:
Answer: Use goal-setting and future-pacing as primary coaching tools
Future-oriented clients are naturally motivated by possibilities ahead, making goal-setting and future-pacing highly effective interventions.
