Why do educators, psychologists, business owners, and singles love Kimberly West’s 4 Kingdoms? It makes personality concepts stick! From classroom assessments to dating success and lasting workplace change, people love its fun, visual approach: more than letters on a test, it’s a picture they can see, remember, and use.

Educator using the 4K map

4Kingdoms (formerly Personality-Ville) has literally changed my life--for the better. First, in my business life. I had previously learned about this concept using mostly letters to represent each style. When I saw the colorful and meaningful 4 Kingdoms of PV, it was so easy for me to SEE myself up in The Circus being loud and having fun while working hard. I am a technical recruiter for executive-level jobs. I looked at The Map and realized most of my candidates were from The Observatory. It was so much easier for me to go to their "kingdom" and abide by their natural laws-- go slower, lower my voice, let them pause before speaking, and generally just see myself where they live. I have consistently been one of the top recruiters, and I know following the PV Map has been an important part of that success!"~ B.A.M., Executive Tech Recruiter, Orange County, California

 

Couple connecting over the 4K map

The second way it impacted me was in my personal life. When I found myself single at 60, I was pretty set in my ways and thought everyone had to accept me as I was and I didn't really need to change anything. Then, I met the-love-of-my-life, and everything changed. She introduced me to the fun and unique 4Kingdoms map, and we started an ongoing discussion about the Four Kingdoms. It was so engaging that we could use the colorful Kingdoms to learn about each other--it really drew us closer together. We could SEE how each of our personality Kingdoms worked and it has been an important part of our healthy relationship that's going on 5 years."~ B.A.M. from The Circus/Castle in Orange County, California
