Decipher helps you uncover your subconscious reactions and feelings about money and connect the dots between your emotions and financial well-being. DECIPHER™ IS AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION WITH YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL ABOUT YOUR GOALS, NEEDS, AND PRIORITIES. DECIPHER A brief questionnaire helps you identify your Thinking Style and how that influences your choices, followed by a short video assessment that indicates how strongly you feel about important financial topics. Understanding how the following elements blend together to create your unique world view brings more clarity to your financial professional. It helps prioritize what’s most important to you to create strategies that are customized for your specific goals. The Emotion Recognition portion of Decipher, based on the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) developed over the last 40 years by Dr. Paul Ekman, tracks subtle facial expressions during the video segment of the experience to reveal the areas of financial concern you have the strongest emotional reaction to, sometimes revealing hidden feelings about money. Thinking Styles are based on over 20 years of research and consist of three main elements: Past thinking is concerned with events that have already happened; past thinkers consider facts and want certainty before making decisions. Present thinking is concerned with events happening right now or about to happen; present thinkers want to implement and maintain stability and organization. Future thinking considers the various possibilities that might happen; future thinkers, unconcerned by risk, look for opportunities and how to take advantage of them.
