PATH Type® quickly reveals structure underlying behavior and health

PATH Type® assessment quickly reveals structure underlying health behavior across many dimensions of health that mediate the impact of life stressors. In no more than four minutes PATH Type identification can reveal both healthy and unhealthy behavior patterns that shape health for good or for ill.

Complex Schemas and Health

Schemas drive perception and they drive behavior. The PATH Type® methodology reveals nine distinct multi-schematic behavior patterns within adults tied to levels of health and disease that can predict cognitive, conative, and affective response to health communications that take place during practioner-client therapuetic interactions. PATH Type® assessment results provide practitioners with a road map allowing them to better anticipate and side-step resistence and more effectively prime desirable schemas.

Nearly 90% of PATH Type 7 adults suffer from a chronic disease versus barely 50% of PATH Type 8 adults. The differences are all about how they think!

 

PATH Type® deepens understanding of health behavior dynamics!

Each PATH type represents an unconscious pattern of health related thoughts, priorities and predispositions. Each type develops naturally in adults and the patterns underlie and motivate much of the health behavior and health outcomes we see.

PATH Types At-A-Glance

Click here to download and open a quick reference to PATH types and their relationship to health and medical care demand. The upper triangle section summarizes the traits of each path type: sold up triangle = very high, open up triangle = somewhat high, open circle = moderate, open down triangle = somewhat low, solid down triangle = very low. The lower number section reports concentration indices for many health and demand issues. 100 represents the average population, and numbers above or below 100 associated with each path type indicate "rates of occurance or demand".
