The 'Influence' App puts psychology in the hands of leaders.

(PRWEB UK) 10 October 2012

Wise Leader™, a UK based firm of leadership psychologists, has, this week, released an app called 'Influence' which allows users to build a psychological profile of people they know. By answering questions about the behaviours of the target person the user is able to generate their psychological profile. Based on this profile the app generates a practical list of 'do's and don'ts' when attempting to influence them.

Terry Sexton, leadership psychologist and MD of Wise Leader™ says "already the 'what not to do' report has proved very valuable to app users. It seems that too often we unconsciously 'push all the wrong buttons' when we are trying to get other people to like our ideas."

Based on Jungian Personality Type, which was popularised by the MBTI®, the Influence app is the first in a series of apps being released by Wise Leader™ this month. The series will provide practical tools which put psychology in the hands of the user.

Though aimed primarily at business users the App has proved equally popular with a much younger audience keen to engage with, and understand more about themselves and those around them. This may be reflected in the fact that psychology is one of the most popular degrees studied today. Perhaps these new apps will show that it's time for psychology to come out of the classroom and into the real world.
