Tell us three things: 1. Your name and where you're based. 2. What brought you to The Pattern Lab — what were you looking for, or what caught your attention? 3. And this: which of the six tendencies in the Classroom PDF felt most like you — the one that made you think "yes, that's what I do"? There are no wrong answers. Every tendency is the right one for the individual it belongs to. We're just starting to map the territory.

Bring your questions, your observations, your reactions to anything posted in Today — or anything you've noticed about your own pattern in the wild. There are no wrong contributions here. The only rule is: be specific. "I noticed I always do X when Y happens" is more useful than "I think I might do Starting a lot." When you get specific, you'll identify your patterns easier. To get started — respond to the activation post in Today if you haven't already. Then come back here and tell us what you made of your answer.

The Pattern Lab is built around one idea: if we learn the meaning of the patterns in our behaviour--a language that communicates potential and desire--we'll know ourselves fully. The patterns in human behaviour tell us everything important we need to know about ourselves. Others have probably already seen your pattern. When you understand its significance yourself, you'll have a new insight into how you work and what you choose. This knowledge may well change your life. The Eutelia Method maps all the patterns in human behaviour, instinctive tendencies that explain why you do what you do, and how to use that knowledge deliberately. These pattern are multi-layered, and nuanced. Your is unique, as is everyone's. It communicates your essence--and your advantage. But a basic understanding is easy to get. Start your learning with a high-level reflection. Which of these sounds like the way you respond first when something needs to get done? — I verify. I check, question and confirm what has happened, because accuracy matters. — I illuminate. I make sense of the way things are, and share my understanding. — I ideate. I look at all the possible ways forward and identify the best ones. — I commit. I weigh the options available and decide where to spend available resources. — I start. I begin to use resources, creating momentum that implements decisions. — I shepherd. I continue processes underway, ensuring resources are used to attain goals. There's no right answer. Every one of these tendencies produces a distinctive pattern — and all of them show up constantly in everyone's behaviour. But ONE shows up more often than the others. Which one shows up most often in YOUR actions? Make a post under 'Pattern Discussions'. Let's talk about what your tendency reveals.
