About Us

The Needs Languages

noun – needs languages /nēdz/ˈlaNGɡwij/

 

A system to identify and categorize personality types. It is fast and intuitive helping you feel connected and providing a sense of belonging in all your relationships.

What Our Clients Say

Real stories from leaders, teams, and organizations who’ve used The Needs Languages to resolve conflict, build trust, and create workplaces where everyone feels they belong.

The Needs Languages have helped me realize the reasons I have acted certain ways in past relationships and identify why some partners have not been a good match for me in the long run. It has also taught me to accept people for who they are and learn how to interact with them from an understanding of their basic needs. It allows me to show forgiveness for family members whom I often find it difficult to interact with.
 
For example, one person who is close with me has the opposite Needs Languages from me, Right and Control. Since neither of these things are my dominant needs, like they are to her, I am able to let go and let her be right or have control in order to avoid unnecessary arguments.
