Finding Your Culture Fit - Students, Career Seekers standing with arms placed over each other's shoulders.

Activity: Finding Your Culture Fit

Activities, Resources /

What is the right career for me? Which college should I choose? What should I plan for as I start my career?

These are big questions students face when thinking about their future. But just as important is understanding their culture fit, the type of work environment where they will thrive.

By exploring four broad workplace cultures - entrepreneurial, corporate, nonprofit, and government - students will gain a deeper understanding of how different environments align with their strengths and values. With the help of their Indigo Reports, they will research potential careers and reflect on what truly fits them.

The Goal

This activity encourages students to explore different workplace cultures – entrepreneurial, corporate, nonprofit, and government – to identify which aligns best with their strengths, values, and personality. By reflecting on culture fit early, students can make more informed decisions about their future careers and education.

Materials: 

  • Indigo Report
  • Access to internet for research

Step 1: 

Begin by explaining the four broad culture fits to students. These categories are intentionally general, allowing students to refine and personalize them based on their own preferences and experiences.

Entrepreneurial Fit

Fast-paced, change-oriented environment. Suited for thrill seekers looking for a high-risk job with constantly shifting responsibilities and priorities but a chance for a big payoff—in reputation, in money, in social impact, etc.

Corporate Fit

Fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. Suited for high performers looking for a stable job with a clear procedure to follow for advancement and promotion.

Non-Profit Fit

Steady-paced, change-oriented environment. Suited for cause-driven individuals looking for a potentially high-risk job with a chance to use their talents to solve a large societal issue.

Government Fit

Steady-paced, detail-oriented environment. Suited for steady and highly detailed individuals looking for a stable job with clearly defined responsibilities, priorities and a consistent workflow.

Step 2: 

Ask students to form groups based on the “fit” that most interests them.

Each group will spend a class period researching their chosen culture fit, focusing on:

  • The types of jobs and industries associated with this fit
  • The pros and cons of working in this environment
  • Key skills, values, and personality traits that align with this fit

At the end of the class, each group will give a 3-5 minute presentation summarizing their findings, sharing insights about what it’s like to work in that environment.

Understanding workplace culture fit is a crucial step in making informed career and education decisions. By researching different environments—entrepreneurial, corporate, nonprofit, and government—students gain valuable insights into where they might thrive based on their strengths, values, and personality. This exploration helps them envision not just what they want to do, but where and how they want to work.

To continue this journey, the Indigo Career Field Activity is a great next step. It allows students to dive deeper into specific career fields that align with their skills and interests, helping them make even more informed choices about their future.

🚀 New Research Alert! 🚀

How does self-awareness impact professional success? A new case study from Dr. Madeleine Montazeri at University Canada West (UCW) explores how the DISC Bridge Style from the Indigo Assessment enhances organizational commitment, adaptability, and leadership in the workplace.

UCW Case Study Highlights Impact of Self-Awareness on Professional Skill Development

Dr. Montazeri’s research using the Indigo Assessment demonstrates the versatility of the DISC bridge behavioral style

Vancouver, BC – Indigo Education Company is excited to share the development of a new case study, Leveraging DISC Bridge Personality for Organizational Commitment, conducted by Dr. Madeleine Montazeri, Assistant Professor at University Canada West (UCW). This research explores how personality insights, specifically the DISC Bridge personality model, influence organizational commitment in the non-profit sector.

For the past three years, Indigo Education Company has partnered with UCW’s highly regarded MBA program. Students in the program have demonstrated significant growth in professional skills through dynamic and applied learning experiences. The case study reinforces Indigo’s mission of fostering self-awareness, adaptability, and alignment between individual values and organizational culture to enhance both personal and organizational success.

Key Findings from the Case Study
Dr. Montazeri’s research focused on three individuals with DISC Bridge personality traits—those who exhibit a balance across Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. The study found that individuals with this personality style tend to:

  • Show high levels of organizational commitment, particularly in affective (emotional attachment), normative (sense of obligation), and continuance (perceived cost of leaving) dimensions.
  • Demonstrate strong flexibility and adaptability in decision-making, allowing them to effectively navigate changes within their organizations.
  • Align their personal values with organizational goals, fostering a sense of purpose and deeper engagement in their work.
  • Develop an emotional attachment to their organization, reinforcing loyalty and motivation to contribute meaningfully.
  • Balance multiple commitment dimensions, which enables them to sustain long-term dedication to their organizations without feeling trapped or disengaged.

Dr. Montazeri, a champion of equity, inclusion, and leadership development, believes in the art of community building. Reflecting on her journey, she shares:

“I do believe helping everyone to build an inclusive community is an ART. Every day, I look at the footprint of others in the world, and I am justly proud of all of them because they all have a profound impact on helping people have the right to fairness, equality, and dignity.”

The full case study is available above, detailing how DISC Bridge personality styles impact leadership, engagement, and commitment in professional settings.

Indigo Education Company remains committed to supporting transformational learning experiences through research-backed assessments and tools that help individuals and organizations thrive.

Activity: Study Your Way to Success

Activities, Resources /

At Indigo Education Company, we believe self-awareness is key to success. Mastering the ability to focus and study effectively is crucial in any career path, but traditional study methods don’t work the same for everyone. The key to effective studying lies in understanding your unique approach to learning.

This activity guides students in identifying study techniques that align with their DISC personality traits and Motivators, helping them develop personalized strategies that enhance engagement, retention, and efficiency.

The Goal

Rather than simply building a study habit, this exercise encourages students to uncover the methods that best support their learning style. By examining their study preferences through the lens of DISC and Motivators, they will gain valuable self-awareness and discover strategies that make studying more effective and enjoyable.

Materials: 

  • Indigo Reports
  • Indigo Dashboard Teaming Tile (optional)

Step 1: Group Students by DISC Personality Traits

Divide students into groups of 3-4 based on their top DISC score. (Use the Teaming Tile in the Indigo Dashboard for easy group formation). In their groups, have students discuss the following questions:

  • What study techniques have worked well for you in the past? Which ones haven’t?
  • What kind of study environment helps you focus best?
  • Can you recall a time when you had a great study session? What made it effective?
  • Based on your DISC traits, what study methods might align best with your natural strengths?

Note: Grouping similar DISC styles together helps students recognize shared preferences, but differences will still exist. For example, in a High D group, one student who is also High I might prefer studying with friends through competitive quizzes, while a High D, High C student might prefer intense, independent study with structured note cards. Encourage students to explore different approaches within their groups.

Step 2: Group Students by Motivators

Rearrange students into groups based on their top Motivator (found in the Indigo Report as the blue bar graphs on the bottom left) and have them answer the questions below. The goal is to get students thinking about ways to tie things they have to do or study for into their top Motivators, and think of things they can pursue in the future that fit what drives them.

  • What type of projects and assignments motivate you? Which type bore you?
  • How do you stay engaged when working on something that doesn’t naturally motivate you?
  • How can you apply your top 1-2 Motivators to your studying so that you are more engaged?

Step 3: Identify and Apply Personalized Study Strategies

Ask students to write down three new study tips based on what they learned from their DISC and Motivators discussions. If the tips align with both the DISC style and Motivators, even better!

Step 4: Share & Wrap-Up

  • Bring all groups back together and have students share their top study tips with the class.
  • Facilitate a discussion about the different methods students discovered and how they can use these insights moving forward.

Optional: Share the article below with students for general study tips. You can also share your own favorite study strategies to encourage further discussion.

Activity: The Hot Seat (Interview Practice)

Activities, Resources /

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially for students who have never experienced one before. Many bright, capable students graduate without ever practicing how to confidently present themselves in a job or college interview.

This activity provides a hands-on opportunity for students to step into the “hot seat” and develop essential interview skills using their Indigo Reports. By integrating their personal strengths, skills, and values into their responses, students will learn how to highlight what makes them stand out—authentically and effectively.

The Goal

To bridge the gap between self-knowledge and career success by helping students practice real-world interview scenarios. By leveraging their Indigo Reports, students gain the confidence to showcase their value to potential employers or college admissions teams in a professional and impactful way.

Materials: 

  • Indigo Report
  • Three chairs

Note: Emphasize that students should rely heavily on their Indigo Report for this exercise. Regardless of their skill level, everyone can benefit from incorporating Indigo language into their interview strategy. Encourage them to explore sections like Strengths, About You, and Value To A Team to find vocabulary that authentically highlights their unique qualities in a positive way.

Step 1: 

Divide students into pairs—one is the interviewer, one is the interviewee. Have students answer any of the following questions (you can use your own too):

  • Why are you interested in this job?
  • Why would you be good at this job?
  • How will you work on a team?
  • What is a weakness that may show up?
  • How do your skills fit this job?
  • Who is your ideal manager?
  • What is your key strength that you bring to the table?

Step 2:

Now, as the teacher you are the interviewer—have three student volunteers come up to the front of the room and sit in three different “hot seats.” Pick a couple questions to ask them and see how each responds.

Feel free to rotate students as many times as possible if a lot of students want to volunteer. You may ask the same questions that they went over in pairs or use your own questions. The more practice, the better!

Encourage students to look at their Indigo Summary Page and use some of the language on the Strengths, Skills and Value To A Team sections while on the hot seat to enhance their answers! This will give them practice using strong language to describe themselves.

Step 3:

Close by asking students for ideas on how they could use the Indigo Report to prepare for job interviews and college applications.

  • How can you show what you are passionate about through motivators?
  • How have your top skills come up in your life?
  • How can you use the language from the Strengths, Skills, and Value To A Team sections more?
