STRENGTHS AND NEEDS PAGES

The enclosed "Strengths and Needs" pages consist of twelve pages of individualized description
and interpretation of the basic needs. The actual scores for the components are not reported on
these pages.

For those of you who are steeped in numbers, let us assure you that there are several advantages
to this approach. First, it eliminates the concern for the relative "goodness" or "poorness" of a given
score. Secondly, while each page can stand totally by itself in terms of its message, the complete
information is now easy to understand and comprehend, making it entirely possible to give each
person constructive, usable feedback.

The format of the pages is this: there is a beginning paragraph outlining these strengths (Usual
Behavior) associated with the particular style. These statements are very positive, and indicate
your natural, effective behavior. Then, there is a paragraph describing your Basic Needs. These
statements are non-judgmental but help you understand that being maximally productive is
dependent on having certain basic needs met. Finally, there is a paragraph outlining POTENTIAL
behavior in the event that the need is not met. There is nothing absolute about this Stress Behavior
description, but it can easily be used in developing an "early warning system" in identifying and
coping with stress.

Organizationally, these pages can help you accomplish many things. As feedback, they are helpful.
They provide a foundation to teambuilding sessions and other relational programs. For supervisors
and managers, the information is invaluable when dealing with individual problems and conflict
resolution. They could easily be integrated into any stress management program, or actually
provide the basis for such a program. Coupled with the predictive material, they could become a
narrative profile of the individual.

8 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


ESTEEM: ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS

Your ability to be objective and free of self-conscious feelings is a strength naturally resulting from
your preference for frank and direct relationships. You find it easy to come to the point without
beating around the bush.

Strengths:

straightforward
unevasive
matter-of-fact

NEED: While you appreciate a certain amount of openness and frankness from others, you also
need to feel a personal respect from time to time, especially from the significant people in your life.

CAUSES OF STRESS: Both too much sentiment and lack of personal concern are likely to cause
you discomfort. Any criticism of you needs to be balanced with genuine praise.

Possible stress reactions:

undue sensitivity
over-directness

9 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


ACCEPTANCE: SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

Your natural friendliness toward others keeps you interested and involved in the activities of
groups. As a rule, you are accepting of people and are at ease in most social situations. Genuine
social awareness is one of your real strengths.

Strengths:

sociable
communicative
at ease in groups

NEED: However, it is necessary for you to have a reasonable amount of time to spend by yourself
or in the company of one or two other people. A balance of group and private activities is best, as
this allows you to maintain your sense of well-being.

CAUSES OF STRESS: Too much time spent on solitary activities can result in feelings of loneliness;
but you may also find yourself anxious to relieve the pressure of continuous social or group activities.


withdrawal
over-eagerness to please the group

10 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


STRUCTURE: ORGANIZING

Focusing your attention on methods and procedures, you place great value on policies which have
been tried and proven. You recognize the importance of attending to detail, being generally careful
and thorough.

Strengths:

systematic
detail-oriented
procedure-minded

NEED: Your activities should involve a balance of familiar and predictable situations with
opportunities for expression of your initiative. In any case, it is important for you to maintain a
sense of control.

CAUSES OF STRESS: When pushed to change your plan of action, you may experience more
pressure than other people. Also, too much attention to details can cause you to lose sight of the
broad objectives.


de-emphasis on system
over-controlling

11 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


AUTHORITY: AUTHORITY RELATIONSHIPS

Positions of authority and control have an appeal for you. Without being domineering or overly
aggressive, you have an ability to handle such authority through a combination of assertiveness
and pleasant persuasion.

Strengths:

authoritative, yet pleasant
open to discussion
self-directive

NEED: From others, you need suggestion and low-key persuasion rather than direct orders.
Generally pleasant and agreeable relationships are preferred, with occasional opportunities for you
to influence the thinking and actions of others.

CAUSES OF STRESS: When friendly disagreement turns to argument or open confrontation, you
may be surprised to find yourself becoming bossy, even domineering, at least in the eyes of others.


becoming demanding
airing opinions too freely
speaking without listening

12 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


ADVANTAGE: IDEALISM AND REALISM

Trust and loyalty are dominant features of your approach to most situations. Being primarily
idealistic, you tend to focus on long-term and intangible benefits.

Strengths:

trustful
cooperative
well-meaning

NEED: Similarly, you need an atmosphere of mutual trust. You respond well to people who are
loyal and trustworthy, and who place primary emphasis on the benefits of a team-oriented,
cooperative approach. Competitive rivalry should be minimized.

CAUSES OF STRESS: The dog-eat-dog approach of those who are too openly competitive or
oriented toward individual reward can upset your cordial and friendly attitude. Feelings of
disappointment result, and you become too idealistic, even impractical.


gullibility
becoming impractical
unrealistic attitudes

13 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


ACTIVITY: REFLECTION AND ACTION

You have a valuable asset in your naturally high energy level. You enjoy being active, possibly even
for long periods of time. This gives you the added benefit of being able to summon reserves of
energy when your schedule demands it.

Strengths:

vigorous and persuasive
enthusiastic
energetic

NEED: The stimulus of having many definite things to do and opportunities to be physically active
provide the best arena in which to exercise your energetic enthusiasm. You respond well to
situations that require immediate and direct action.

SOURCES OF STRESS: Extended periods of inactivity are likely to bother you, possibly generating
restless tension as a result of your pent-up energy.


restless tension
over-emphasis on action
spending energies ineffectually

14 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


CHALLENGE: YOUR VIEW OF YOURSELF

Generally, you have the asset of a balanced outlook on yourself and other people - sort of an "I'm
OK, you're OK" attitude. You recognize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and are
therefore able to be neither too critical nor too self- confident.

Strengths:

accepting but strong-willed
balance of confidence and caution
enthusiastic

NEED: This same balance is comfortable for you in your environment. You will feel most at ease
among people who share your general outlook, and who tend to provide mutual support and
encouragement.

CAUSES OF STRESS: People who are freely critical of others or who exhibit an excess of self-
confidence can trouble or otherwise annoy you. Depending on the circumstances, your reaction
may be either to become oppositional or to become overly self-critical.


becoming overly self-critical
tendency to worry unnecessarily
defensive feelings

15 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


EMPATHY: DEALING WITH EMOTIONS

You are primarily objective and practical in your outlook. Your empathy toward others diminishes
rapidly when you perceive they are taking no steps to help themselves. You prefer to keep your
emotions in check.

Strengths:

objective
practical
logical

NEED: You feel most at ease in surroundings that emphasize the practical side of things and have
an appeal to logic. You need to be treated by others in a low-key, unemotional manner.

CAUSES OF STRESS: It is difficult for you to understand the motivations of people who get carried
away with emotion. When feelings and emotions seem to be clouding the issue, you are likely to
respond by trying to minimize those feelings.


insensitivity to feelings
overly definite opinions
over-concern for the practical

16 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


CHANGE: DEALING WITH CHANGE

Novelty and adventure stimulate you, as you are always alert to start new things. You find it easy
to adapt to changes, and will even effect change from time to time to alleviate boredom.

Strengths:

takes changes in stride
responsive and attentive
adaptive

NEED: However, your environment must allow you the freedom of choice in order for you to get
maximum benefit from your strengths. You are at your best in surroundings that encourage
individual initiative so that you can determine your own routine.

CAUSES OF STRESS: Changes which are unexpectedly forced upon you may cause you to respond
adversely. The flexibility which characterizes your strength may become a handicap under these
conditions.


difficulty controlling restlessness
concentration problems
resisting abrupt change

17 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


FREEDOM: INDEPENDENCE

Consistent and cooperative are characteristics which describe your general nature. With your insight
into how people think and feel, you make a valuable team member, placing a great deal of
importance on convention and restraint.

Strengths:

restrained
consistent
cooperative

NEED: However, there are times when you prefer an approach based on the "personal touch." You
need opportunities to express this individuality from time to time, as long as you can do so against
a background of order and predictability.

CAUSES OF STRESS: Notice that your need implies a balanced situation. You may be prone to
feelings of insecurity when your environment lacks predictability; but inner tensions can mount if
you are denied some freedom of thought and action.


anxiety
emphasis on undue restraint

18 of 41

Strengths and Needs

TEAMBUILDING


THOUGHT: MAKING DECISIONS

Compared to most people, you are matter-of-fact, tending to handle situations decisively and with
outward assurance and confidence. You are able to grasp the relevant issues and form your
judgments quickly.

Strengths:

direct and to-the-point
decisive
matter-of-fact

NEED: Even though you like to make your decisions rapidly and dispassionately, you also prefer
to feel that you are not under the pressure of time when doing so. You need time to gather the
significant information as matters become more complex.

CAUSES OF STRESS: Your need for reflective thought is about average. You are therefore likely
to find that on one hand you can be frustrated by ambiguity, and on the other hand realize that you
worry unnecessarily from time to time.


tendency to over-simplify
fear of making mistakes

CAREER MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Career Management Report helps to better match your career choices with your personality,
the kind of things that motivate you, and your interests.

The Career Management Report is organized into three sections, as follows:

• Organizational Focus, which will help you determine the work environment that suits you
best.
• Job Families/Job Titles that offer you the greatest potential for success.
• Career Summary, a list of strengths that you bring to the work that you do.

Organizational Focus

The Organizational Focus tells you the general work environment in which you're going to feel
most motivated and most comfortable. We generate this information by determining how similar
you are to other people who work in these work environments.

Job Families/Job Titles

The Job Families/Job Titles tell you how closely you match employees in 22 job families (and in a
large number of individual jobs). Most of the Job Titles that you match will have a direct link to the
U.S. Department of Labor's online Occupational Outlook Handbook so you can find out more
information about pay, conditions, and job prospects. International users may wish to choose the Job
Families Only option, since the U.S. data may not be useful to them.

Career Summary

The Career Summary is an overview of the strengths you will probably bring to the work you do.
These strengths are extracted from the Organizational Focus and Job Families/Job Titles sections.

Your career decisions should be based on many factors, including your experience, your education,
your preferences, even the way you approach the interview process. We believe that the Career
Management Report will provide useful information in many of these areas.

Rather than represent you in terms of your strongest Organizational Focus, we use all four. The color bars
that describe your Focus may be of varying lengths: all long, all short, or a mixture.
