The DOPE Test - Personal Behaviour Indicator

Read each statement quickly and put a "y" in the non-coloured column if that statement DEFINITELY applies to you,
and put an "n" in the column if you disagree with the statement or if the statement isn't totally true for you. See the
example for how to complete. Remember, the test will only be accurate if you're honest with yourself - so complete
the test based on what you actually think and feel, not on how you think you should or want to feel or behave.

Behaviour Type

Interpretation:

What behaviours are above the line?

What behaviours are below the line?
Are any behaviours above the line more dominant than others?
Are they all much the same?

Behaviours above the line indicate preferred behaviours, whereas behaviours below the line are the ones that you
don't show any preference towards and would be considered 'uncharacteristic for you'.

It's not unusual to have 2 (or sometimes 3) behaviours with a similar strength. In this case, it just shows that you are
'well balanced' from a behaviour point of view and exhibit characteristics of several behaviour types.

Read the descriptions for all behaviour types - do you agree?

Read the information on your preferred behaviour patterns (the biggest ones above the line) to learn about your
'needs and wants', and how you can use this information to improve your life's performance and your relationships
with other people.

Don't agree with the outcome? Make sure you were completely honest and only said "y" to the statements that
DEFINITELY describe how you feel/ think. If any were 'doubtful', change these to "n" and recalculate.

Behaviour Type

Interpretation:

This particular DOPE test indicates a behaviour profile characteristic of the Dove, but with some strong Peacock
tendencies as well. This person is probably a "people-person" who likes social settings and helping people. The
main behaviour pattern missing is that of the Eagle, indicating that this person does not behave in this manner and
would in fact exhibit traits of the Owl in preference to those of the Eagle.

This person should read the information on Dove and Peacock behaviour patterns to learn about their 'needs and
wants', and how they can use this information to improve their life's performance and their relationships with other
people.
