# PrinciplesYou vs PrinciplesUs

### Understanding the Key Differences

**PrinciplesYou** and **PrinciplesUs** are two distinct platforms, and this resource outlines the key differences between the two to help you understand how each tool can be leveraged effectively.

**PrinciplesYou** is a personality assessment for individuals, while **PrinciplesUs** is a team and organizational tool utilizing our assessment that examines team dynamics and alignment. Although **PrinciplesYou** users can import their assessment results into **PrinciplesUs**, the platforms operate independently and require separate login methods.

### **PrinciplesYou  |** [PrinciplesYou.com](http://principlesyou.com/)

Our free assessment tool is best used for individual reflection and development. The end profile shows an individual’s archetypes, traits, and factors, and begins exploring their personality in context. The PrinciplesYou assessment is approx 250 questions and takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.

**Use Cases for PrinciplesYou:**

- 1-on-1 coaching
- Individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their own motivations, strengths, and areas for growth
- Someone looking to facilitate insightful comparisons and discussions between friends or family members by comparing their results

Ideal applications of this tool include early coach-coachee relationship building, initial business development phases with leaders, and/or individual coaching sessions. Many PrinciplesUs users use the free PrinciplesYou assessment as an introductory “taste test” with their clients to show the power of the tool and to initiate further exploration. 

Please note, a user can import their results from PrinciplesYou to PrinciplesUs even if the email address they used for PrinciplesYou is different from the email address for their PrinciplesUs account. 

### **PrinciplesUs |** [My.Principles.com](http://my.principles.com/) / [PrinciplesUs.com](http://principlesus.com/)

Our paid assessment tool, designed for teams, builds on the insights captured in the PrinciplesYou assessment. 

PrinciplesUs provides the same assessment and results as PrinciplesYou, but is enhanced with features designed for broader and more interactive applications. This advanced tool supports not only individual reflection but also dynamic group interactions, including:

- 1:1 comparisons between individuals
- Team visualizations that facilitate an understanding of group dynamics and areas for collective improvement and synergy
- The [Art of Working with Me](https://support.principlesus.com/art-of-working-with-me-user-guide?hsLang=en)- Practical insights for how individuals prefer feedback,  being supported in the workplace, navigating change, and what causes them stress.
- Coaching Guides: Prompts for coaches, consultants, or supervisors to initiate individualized conversations for their clients or direct reports
- Facilitation Resources including cheat sheets, workshops, and more
- Integration with our other products, such as the Culture Survey

It also provides coaches with a dashboard where they can manage their clients’ information in a single place. This is valuable when working with several organizations or groups, either for short-term or long-term engagements.
