What is The Personality Puzzle Box?
The Personality Puzzle Box is a 6-lesson classroom tool kit enabling educators to teach about personality preferences and encourages conversations around self awareness, self-esteem, people differences and communication skills. What does your school currently use? Are your resources achieving what you hope for? Does this need to be reviewed? Please be in touch if you think we can help.
What need is satisfied?
This programme meets the most recent NZ curriculum goals for the Health and Physical Education departments with regard to:
- Personal growth and development

Self-awareness and personality can be included in a wide range of wellness programmes. These can sit in various departments within a school. Typically they land in Physical Education, Health, Social Studies, Religious Education, Careers Guidance or part of a tutor group or year level study for students from age 14 upwards. Reactions from the students are fantastic. (See below!)

What do the students say?
Really enjoyed it. Found it very accurate with not only me, but friends also. Presented really well to ensure understanding.
Absolutely fabulous! I think it’s a really cool thing for any teenager to experience because this is a time of our lives when we, me anyway, feel unsure of ourselves and this cleared a lot up for me – thank you! Xoxoxoxox
The different activities to discover the different types were interesting and fun – somewhat confusing at first – but it’s meant to be that way so it’s fine.
