Between 2001 and 2003 YEO used existing literature and modern competence definitions to develop its 4D Competence Model.
It is built around two basic well-recognized dimensions that define most of the interpersonal differences in performance competencies:
- Introvert versus extravert
- People versus task focus
These two dimensions together define 4 areas of competencies, which YEO defined as its 4 dimensions of competencies:
- People - The Diplomats (Red)
- Vision - The Network Builders (Yellow)
- Action - The Change Managers (Blue)
- System - The Pragmatists (Green)
The huge number of competence descriptions in literature were redefined and tested to address 16 Competencies, 4 for each dimension.
As an example, the People Dimension is built around the following 4 competencies: people whose main focus is on other people and who tend to communicate with the purpose of understanding others (customer focus), demonstrate an attitude of being empathetic towards others (empathy), achieve change by understanding and adapting themselves to others (respecting diversity), and build their network around people they like (team spirit).

As you can read in this document, each competence is then defined using 5 behavioral, measurable, changeable and thus trainable descriptions. In total, these 80 behavioral descriptions, also referred to as activity statements in our Effective Selection Interviewing training program, cover a very wide variety of competencies needed to measure performance in almost any job.
