Core Quadrants

An unique and inspiring way to get to know: Core Quadrants

On the 20th of March 2014 I had given a workshop which was called ‘Get to know yourself and the others around you’. The workshop started at 10.30am and ended on 13.00pm. For this workshop I had borrowed a game which is called ‘Kern Kwadranten spel’, in English it’s called ‘Core Quadrants game’ by Daniel Ofman. This was very interesting and inspiring.

In this game there are 64 cards with a positive verb on them and 64 cards with a negative. Each card can go two ways, like a positive card can go to your quality, but you can also keep it as a challenge. With the negative card you can also go two ways, like a negative card can be a trap for you but also your allergy. For example you can think about words like these: Sense of humor, anger or open.

This game teaches us that everybody is born with positive quality’s and traps, which is negative about you as a person. But you can change it by recognizing your trap, so you can work on it. Then you have the allergy, which means what you as person despises in others. And at last you have the challenge, which means what you as person want to have and what you admire in others. Below you will see the diagram that we have used for our answers, so you can see it anytime.

If you are interested to get to know yourself and others then I can advise you to play this game, it is also good for the teamwork!
