TeamDynamics, a “personality test” for teams

Hey HN! A few of us got together to build a tool to help teams understand, and improve, how they communicate and collaborate to get stuff done. It’s called TeamDynamics! We’ve always found individual personality tests (MBTI, Enneagram, Big Five, etc.) useful for understanding our 1:1 interactions with others (even if not 100% scientific). But they don't capture the 1:N / N:1 / N:N dynamics that emerge when you mix a bunch of personalities together on a team. Our hope is that TeamDynamics can fill that gap. It: [1] Gives the user a framework for understanding the “personality” of your team across the types of interactions that matter most in today’s work environment. [2] Offers suggestions for how you can get more done and have more fun while doing it — both as a group and as an individual — based on your team's personality. The “single-player” experience is free to try all month at https://www.teamdynamics.io/start-solo?utm_source=hn&promoco... and we'd love to hear your thoughts! * Do the results of the test resonate with you? * Would you invite your team to take this (why or why not)? * Would this be helpful in defining team norms? Onboarding new hires? Coaching team members? Other use cases? Thanks for giving it a look! --- P.S. We put a lot of this together with no-/low-code solutions, partly to check out how much that field has developed in just a few years. No surprise to the HN community I'm sure, but lots of really cool tools out there, and a few that we’re using here are (btw, if you have questions about any of these, or others you'd suggest, would love to hear them!): * [Forms + Payments] Tally — which we found right here on HN! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30258149 : Awesome, flexible form editor. Way better value than Typeform, Paperform, etc. * [Website] Webflow: Makes sense that they lead their category, and great community around it. Animations and forms are clunky, and needs more progress on logic. * [Integrations] Make (f/k/a Integromat): Way cheaper, and overall better, than Zapier. Could use a more robust community.
