INTRODUCTION

This report is confidential and is intended for the sole use of the person who completed the
questionnaire.

It has been given to you to provide some feedback about the analysis of your responses to the
questionnaire which you recently completed.

The self-report personality questionnaire invited you to describe your behaviour, preferences and
attitudes in relation to different aspects of your working life. It was chosen to give a broad picture of
your current style. Your responses have been compared with a large group of people who have filled
in the same questionnaire.

When considering this report’s description of your personality, it is important to recognise that it is
based on the answers you gave and is your own view, representing the way you see your behaviour,
rather than how your personality might be described by another person. This self-report can
nevertheless give important clues to understanding the way you see your style at work and it is
likely to enable us to predict a good deal about your behaviour in different situations. This report
links the information under three broad headings and summarises all of your responses to the
questionnaire.

The specific application of the information will influence which sections of the report are most
relevant. You may have already received personal feedback of these results, or had this offered to
you. Whoever gave you feedback and/or this report should be qualified to answer your queries about
any aspect of the report and provide a more detailed analysis of what the results mean for you.

The contents of this report are likely to be a good description of your behaviour at work for about
18-24 months, depending upon your work role and personal circumstances. If it is to be used in the
future, consideration should be given to its continued relevance.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE

Influence
You see yourself as someone who really enjoys selling ideas to others by using persuasion and
negotiation. You like to balance taking charge of people and allowing others to take this role. When
it comes to expressing your views, you are likely to speak out as much as the next person,
suggesting that you say what you think or criticise others when you feel it is appropriate rather than
as a matter of course. However, you have a slight tendency to stand by your own view, rather than
always following group consensus.

Sociability
You are someone who feels they are reasonably sociable. You feel as comfortable as others in formal
settings or when meeting new people. You are inclined to be moderately outgoing, neither being
very quiet and reserved nor particularly talkative and sociable. This balance between being outgoing

2
and a more quiet, reserved nature is coupled with a typical need, in line with people in general, to
spend your time with other people.

Empathy
You are likely to be neither excessively reserved nor open about discussing your achievements. In
terms of making decisions, you have an approach which balances the need to make a decision and
the need for consultation as you are as likely to consult before a decision as the next person. You
are someone who tends to take an interest in others and is often prepared to provide support and
make allowances for colleagues in times of personal crisis.

THINKING STYLE

Analysis
You enjoy working with facts and figures and analysing numerical information. You are moderately
interested in critically evaluating information and arguments. In addition, you are moderately
interested in the motives that underlie people's behaviour.

Creativity and Change

You describe yourself as someone with a slight preference for taking a fairly radical approach to
tasks. This is combined with a balance between hypothetical debate and a more practical approach
to work. You also appear fairly creative and willing to generate some ideas at work. You have a
strong tendency to vary your style according to your audience and the situation you are in, trying to
adapt your behaviour accordingly. You are also, in line with most people, neither someone who
craves change and variety nor someone who really enjoys having a particularly set routine.

Structure
You are slightly more comfortable thinking things through in advance rather than dealing with each
issue as it arises. You also are as concerned with the detail and organisation of the task as other
people, neither paying particular attention to detail nor dismissing its importance. You prefer to
strike a balance between seeing deadlines as flexible and focusing on getting tasks finished on time.
You also describe yourself as neither sticking to rules rigidly nor consciously prepared to break them.

FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS

Emotion
You may find you are moderately anxious, neither generally feeling particularly tense nor totally
calm and collected on a day-to-day basis. You also tend to demonstrate a moderate level of tension
before important events. You are likely to be neither difficult to upset nor particularly easy to offend.
You appear to slightly prefer focusing on the positive aspects of a situation. You are generally
someone who is neither overly suspicious nor entirely trusting of others. You display your emotions
and feelings at work as much as other people.

3
Energy and Drive
You appear to be as active as most other people and are most comfortable when you are moderately
busy. You like to balance winning with taking part in activities for their own sake. You have a strong
inclination to take your time over decision making, preferring to understand things before reaching
conclusions. You see yourself as being as ambitious as most people and find targets can be quite
motivating.

WORKING WITH OTHERS

Successful teams share common tasks or projects and work collectively towards the same goals.
Within the team each individual makes a specific contribution to the process and thereby affects the
success of the team. To achieve their goals the members of a team need to complete a number of
key tasks.

Your likely impact within a team is summarised below. This focuses on your likely strengths and
weaknesses across key team tasks.

Overall, you typically find a good balance between focusing on tasks and focusing on people, when
working with others.

Your strengths are likely to lie in:

 Identifying possible solutions for team tasks
 Steering team activities
 Having an energising impact on other team members
 Building relationships inside and outside the team
 Planning team work and sustaining team productivity
 Helping the team to maintain their workload and reach their goals

You are as likely to be as capable as most in:

 Helping the team to evaluate ideas and concepts which contribute to team success
 Maintaining a positive team climate
