Team DNA: build a team that thinks better together
The Opinion DNA Teams Report is a team DNA assessment for companies. It maps every member across 48 dimensions of personality, values, and meta-thinking, then shows the dynamics underneath your team's collaboration, conflict, and decision-making.
Great teams aren't just skilled — they're cognitively diverse. But diversity without understanding creates friction. Opinion DNA gives your team a shared map of how each person thinks, what they value, and how they process disagreement. The result: less miscommunication, better decisions, and conflict that produces ideas instead of resentment.
What is a team DNA assessment?
A team's DNA is the combined map of its members' personalities, values, and thinking styles. The DNA is a metaphor for psychology: nothing genetic is tested, and no lab or saliva kit is involved. Each person answers the same 179 questions, and the Teams Report lays their 48 dimension scores side by side, so you can see the patterns the group shares and the places where it splits.
For corporate teams, the value is in the values and meta-thinking layers, which most workplace assessments leave out. A team that scores high on Group puts real weight on shared identity and belonging. Wide gaps on Social Dominance can surface as arguments about hierarchy and who gets a say. If most of the room scores high on Deference, meetings may run smoothly while disagreement goes unsaid. And Need for Cognition and Intellectual Humility shape how a team argues: how much it enjoys a hard problem, and how readily people change their minds when the evidence turns.
Our guide to personality assessment for teams covers how companies put the results to work. If you are weighing professional instruments such as MBTI Step II, our MBTI Step II alternatives guide sets out what each one measures and who can administer it. For the partnership at the top of a company, the Co-Founders Report applies the same 48 dimensions to two founders.
What the Teams Report reveals
Cognitive diversity map
See where your team clusters and where it has gaps. Identify blind spots in thinking style, values orientation, and meta-cognitive approach before they become problems.
Communication patterns
Understand why certain pairs collaborate effortlessly while others struggle. The report shows which dimensions create natural alignment and which create friction.
Decision-making dynamics
Map how your team weighs evidence, handles uncertainty, and resolves disagreement. Spot groupthink risks and under-represented perspectives.
Hiring & growth insights
See which cognitive profiles are missing from your team. Use the data to hire for complementary strengths rather than cultural clones.

Frequently asked questions
What is a team DNA assessment?
A team DNA assessment maps the combined personality, values, and thinking styles of everyone on a team. The DNA is a metaphor for that psychological profile, and no genetic testing is involved. With Opinion DNA, each member takes the same 179-question assessment, and the Teams Report compares the group across all 48 dimensions.
How many people can be on a team?
There is no upper limit. Teams of 3-20 people tend to get the most actionable results, but we have worked with larger groups. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Does everyone take the same assessment?
Yes. Every team member takes the same 179-question Opinion DNA assessment individually. Their results are then compared as a group.
Is there a team discount?
Yes. We offer volume pricing for teams of 5 or more. Contact us at hello@opiniondna.com for a custom quote.
Can I add new team members later?
Absolutely. New members can take the assessment at any time and be added to the team comparison. The group report updates automatically.
Is individual data kept private?
Each team member controls their own data. The team report shows aggregate patterns and pairwise comparisons, but individual reports remain private unless the person chooses to share.
How is this different from DISC or Myers-Briggs for teams?
Most team assessments measure personality only. Opinion DNA also maps values and meta-thinking — the dimensions that drive how people make decisions, handle conflict, and evaluate ideas. That's where the real team dynamics live.
