A woman scored 9 on the Colby Index, a test measuring how people naturally work. The speaker had her sign her name twice, once with each hand, to show how uncomfortable and slow it feels to act against your instincts. The test got it right.

I was having a conversation with someone just the other day, actually, it might have been right after we finished a recording, and they had their Colby, and they were a nine initiating fact finder on the Colby Index. I'm like, wow, that's a pretty high fact finder. That sounds very interesting. And she'd indicated, I'm not sure if my Colby's right. I've had some people tell me I should do it again. Well, I said, well, do you mind if I ask you a few questions? So we went through a bit of a questioning process, and it turns out she agreed that, yes, it is all correct and based on everything that we went through. But I had her do the exercise of writing her name, signing her name with her dominant hand, and then I said, hey, here's the fun part. Now I need you to switch hands and do it all over again. And we did it on a zoom call, so I couldn't see the piece of paper, but the noticeable look of physical frustration on her face and the whole physical demeanor was a complete change. And it took her about three times as long to do it. And she was laughing, but it was almost like a nervous laughter because, you know, we have that, like, it's an uncomfortable feeling.
