Tired of personality assessments that put you in a box?

Is the 5 Voices assessment just another personality test?
Let’s dive in... "Whether you're a dog a duck a badger a bear an ID a DI an ESTJ an ENFJ a seven with a wing and 3, someone has tried to put you in a box by telling you who you are and that's not the intent of the 5 Voices."
Can you relate? Click below to hear from GiANT's Steve Cockram, and learn about what makes 5 Voices different than other personality tools.
There are many tools out there designed to help people understand their personalities. While they often provide valuable insight, most stop at identifying what you are, boxing you in, leaving little room for conversation about "the why's".
The 5 Voices is different. It’s not just an assessment, it’s a leadership language that brings clarity to how you lead, communicate, and relate to others. And it’s grounded in a powerful framework: Nature. Nurture. Choice.
Nature reflects how you were innately wired. This is the voice order you were born with and the one that comes most naturally to you.
Nurture represents the life experiences that have shaped howyou interact with the world. Culture, family dynamics, education, and even trauma all influence how freely or cautiously you show up.
Choice is the empowering part. It acknowledges that no matter your wiring or background, you have the ability to grow. You can intentionally strengthen your voice, develop new behaviors, and build healthier patterns. You’re not stuck, you’re shaping the leader you’re becoming.
This is what makes the 5 Voices so transformative. It doesn't put people in boxes, it offers a framework that honors where you've come from and invites you to lead with greater self-awareness, empathy, and intentionality.
When leaders begin to understand not only their own voice but also the voices of those around them, communication shifts. Teams become healthier. Trust increases. And leadership becomes something more than a title, it becomes a force for transformation.
