Objectives: This article presents the Mindset Profile as an integrative approach that connects psychological profiles to genetic, neurochemical, and hormonal foundations, exploring its applications in understanding human behavior in educational, organizational, and clinical contexts.
Theoretical Framework: The model is organized into four archetypes — Lion, Peacock, Monkey, and Dog — each associated with distinct biological patterns. The literature review links these profiles to dopaminergic, serotonergic, and hormonal systems, as well as to predispositions toward neurodivergences and psychopathologies, such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and giftedness.
Method: An exploratory qualitative literature review was conducted, gathering research on genes associated with behavioral traits (such as DRD4, MAOA, 5-HTTLPR) and their relationship with neurotransmitters, hormonal systems, neurodivergences, and psychopathologies.
Results and Discussion: Evidence suggests that the archetypes are not modifiable in their genetic essence but are regulable. This means that, through self-knowledge and metacognitive processes, individuals can modulate impulses, enhance desirable characteristics, and mitigate harmful manifestations. This perspective expands the model’s practical value by supporting differential diagnosis, allowing, for example, the distinction between contextually required behaviors and legitimate clinical manifestations (such as differentiating organizational rigidity in Monkey profiles from symptoms of OCD).
Research Implications: The Mindset Profile, integrated into the MindSync platform, proves applicable not only in personal and organizational development but also as an auxiliary tool in clinical contexts, enhancing the understanding of the interface between psychological profiles, neurodivergences, and psychopathologies.
Originality/Value: The main contribution lies in proposing that personality is biologically structured yet consciously regulable. By returning to the individual the ability to modulate behaviors in the face of genetic predispositions, the model offers an innovative perspective for the field of neuroscience applied to behavior.
