This Innermetrix ADVanced Insights Profile combines the best of three world-class
profiles. The Attribute Index measures how you think and make decisions. The Values
Index measures your motivational style and drivers and the DISC Index measures your
preferred Behavioral style. Together they create WHAT, WHY and HOW (i.e., What
natural talents do you have, Why are you motivated to use them and How do you prefer
to use them.)

About This Report
Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common
trait of self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and this
makes it easy for them to find ways of achieving objectives that fit their behavioral style. They
also understand their limitations and where they are not effective and this helps them understand
where not to go or how not to be as well. Those who understand their natural behavioral
preferences are far more likely to pursue the right opportunities, in the right way, at the right
time, and get the results they desire.
This report measures four dimensions of your behavioral style. They are:
• Decisive — your preference for problem solving and getting results
• Interactive — your preference for interacting with others and showing emotion
• Stability — your preference for pacing, persistence and steadiness
• Cautiousness — your preference for procedures, standards and protocols

- 7. Four Components of Behavior
The Elements of DISC-Index
This DISC-Index report is unique in the marketplace for a number or reasons. You just completed
the first ever click & drag DISC instrument on the market. This was constructed in a precise
manner to allow for ease of responses, even in the midst of many difficult decisions. This
intuitive interface allows you to focus on your answers, not the process.
Also, unlike other DISC instruments, this instrument allows you to rank all four items instead.
As a result, this instrument produces zero waste in responses. Some instruments ask you to
choose two items out of four, and leave two items blank. Those instruments have a 50% waste
of terms, and do not provide for an efficient response process. The DISC Index instrument
eliminates that response problem.
Another unique aspect of this DISC-Index report is that we present the D-I-S-C aspects of your
behavior both as separate entities and as a dynamic combination of traits. This report presents
Johnny Dough
the first time that each of the D-I-S-C elements are separated and developed as pure entities
of themselves. This can serve as an important learning tool as you explore the deeper aspects
of DISC. Your unique pattern of DISC traits is developed through the context of this report.
Additionally, the following four pages will be devoted to exploring your DISC scores as separate
components within the unique combination of traits that you exhibit.
A comment on contradictions: you may read some areas of this report that may contradict other
text. This is due to the fact that many of us show contradictory behaviors in the normal course
of our daily operations. Each of us are at times talkative and other times more reflective,
depending on how we are adapting our behavior. The expression of these contradictions is a
demonstration of the sensitivity of this instrument to determine these subtle differences in our
natural and adaptive style.

A closer look at the four components of your behavioral style
Johnny Dough
© 2010 Copyright Innermetrix UK US South Africa Australia Asia Middle-East 8
- 9. Four Components of Behavior
Decisive
Your approach to problem-solving and obtaining results
The D in DISC represents Decisiveness. Your score on this scale, represented below, shows
your location on the D spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't
mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral
traits. For example:
Higher D —
Tend to solve new problems very quickly and assertively. They take an active and direct
approach to obtaining results. The key here is new problems such as those that are
unprecedented or haven't happened before. There may also be an element of risk in taking
the wrong approach or developing an incorrect solution, but those with a High D score are
willing to take those risks, even if they may be incorrect.
Lower D —
Tend to solve new problems in a more deliberate, controlled, and organized manner. Again,
the key here is new and unprecedented problems. The Lower D style will solve routine
Johnny Dough
problems very quickly because the outcomes are already known. But, when the outcomes
are unknown and the problem is an uncertain one, the Lower D style will approach the new
problem in a calculated and deliberate manner by thinking things through very carefully before
acting.
Your score shows a very high score on the 'D' spectrum.
100 99 99
The comments below highlight some of the traits specific
90 to just your unique score.
80
• You demand high levels of results or performance, in
70 both yourself and in others as well.
• You are very decisive and a risk-taker.
60
• You may be perceived as somewhat egocentric by others
50 (i.e., others who you feel are less confident than you).
• You are always interested in the new, the innovative, and
40
the cutting-edge ideas.
30 • You can be very commanding and tend to take charge
more than you follow.
20
• You are practical - all about the business and getting
10 results quickly without fluff or delay.
Natural Adaptive

- 10. Four Components of Behavior
Interactive
Your approach to interacting with people and display of emotions.
The I in DISC represents Interactive. Your score on this scale represented below shows your
location on the I spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean
good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral
traits. For example:
Higher I —
Tend to meet new people in an outgoing, gregarious, and socially assertive manner. The key
here is new people whom one hasn't met before. Many other styles are talkative, but more
so with people that they've known for some time. The Higher I scores are talkative, interactive
and open even with people whom they have just initially met. People scoring in this range
may also be a bit impulsive. Generally speaking, those with the Higher I scores are generally
talkative and outgoing.
Lower I —
Tend to meet new people in a more controlled, quiet and reserved manner. Here's where the
Johnny Dough
key word "new people" enters the equation. Those with Lower I scores are talkative with their
friends and close associates, but tend to be more reserved with people they've just recently
met. They tend to place a premium on the control of emotions, and approach new relationships
with a more reflective approach than an emotional one.
Your score shows a very high score on the 'I' spectrum.
100 99
The comments below highlight some of the traits specific
90 to just your unique score.
80
• You are gregarious and outgoing with most everyone
70 you meet.
• You are very enthusiastic in working with others.
60
• You really like meeting new people and easily interact.
50 No one is a stranger.
• You are very optimistic.
40
• You have a very high trust level for others, but this could
30 actually result in you being "burned."
• You enjoy opportunities to motivate others.

- 11. Four Components of Behavior
Stabilizing
Your approach to the pace of the work environment
The S in DISC represents Stabilizing. Your score on this scale represented below shows your
location on the S spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean
good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral
traits. For example:
Higher S —
Tend to prefer a more controlled, deliberative and predictable environment. They place a
premium on security of a work situation and disciplined behavior. They also tend to show a
sense of loyalty to a team or organization, and as a result, may have a greater longevity or
tenure in a position than some other styles. They have an excellent listening style and are
very patient coaches and teachers for others on the team.
Lower S —
Tend to prefer a more flexible, dynamic, unstructured work environment. They value freedom
of expression and the ability to change quickly from one activity to another. They tend to
Johnny Dough
become bored with the same routine that brings security to the Higher S traits. As a result,
they will seek opportunities and outlets for their high sense of urgency and high activity levels,
as they have a preference for spontaneity.
Your score shows a high average score on the 'S' spectrum.
100
The comments below highlight some of the traits specific
90 to just your unique score.
80
• You are consistent and predictable over the long haul,
70 even in the midst of change.
63 • You prefer setting minimum levels of consistency and
60
stability or control.
50 • You serve to stabilize others on a team who are perhaps
too maverick.
40
• You can accept change, but you require a good argument
30 for it first.
• You tend to be a calming influence on those with whom
20
you work.
10
10 • You prefer to have sufficient clarification of policy or tasks
before proceeding, so as to avoid mistakes.

- 12. Four Components of Behavior
Cautious
Your approach to standards, procedures, and expectations.
The C in DISC represents Cautiousness. Your score on the scale represented below shows
your location on the C spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't
mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral
traits. For example:
Higher C —
Tend to adhere to rules, standards, procedures, and protocol set by those in authority whom
they respect. They like things to be done the right way according to the operating manual.
Rules are made to be followed is an appropriate motto for those with higher C scores. They
have some of the highest quality control interests of any of the styles and frequently wish
others would do the same.
Lower C —
Tend to operate more independently from the rules and standard operating procedures. They
tend to be bottom-line oriented. If they find an easier way to do something, they'll do it by
Johnny Dough
developing a variety of strategies as situations demand. To the Lower C scores, rules are
only guidelines, and may be bent or broken as necessary to obtain results.
Your score shows a very low score on the 'C' spectrum.
100
The comments below highlight some of the traits specific
90 to just your unique score.
80
• You can develop a variety of creative strategies and
70 procedures as situations demand.
• You tend to operate independently from the established
60
rules and procedures.
50 • To you, the "right way" to do things is the way you are
doing them right now.
40
• You can be seen as a rebellious agent of change, not
30 afraid to take a strong stand.
• You have a strong dislike for too many details, or minutia.
20
• You prefer varied activities, never a dull moment, and
11 10

Natural Style Pattern:
Your natural style is the way you tend to behave when you aren't thinking about it. This is where
you are most comfortable (natural). This is also the style you will revert back to when under

this is the style you should seek to be true to in your daily roles. Being natural will return better
results with less effort and stress. The following statements are true to just your unique natural
style:
• A strong orientation toward getting the project completed quickly and successfully, and
maximizing the performance of the team in the process.

- 26. Introduction to the Values Index
About This Report
Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common
trait of self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and
this makes it easy for them to find ways of achieving objectives that resonate with their
motivations. They also understand their limitations and where they are not effective and this
helps them understand what does not inspire them or what will not motivate them to succeed.
Those who understand their natural motivators better are far more likely to pursue the right
opportunities, for the right reasons, and get the results they desire.
This report measures seven dimensions of motivation. They are:
• Aesthetic - a drive for balance, harmony and form.
Johnny Dough
• Economic - a drive for economic or practical returns.
• Individualistic - a drive to stand out as independent and unique.
• Political - a drive to be in control or have influence.
• Altruistic - a drive for humanitarian efforts or to help others altruistically.
• Regulatory - a drive to establish order, routine and structure.
• Theoretical - a drive for knowledge, learning and understanding.

- 27. Seven Dimensions of Value and Motivation
The Elements of the Values Index
This Values Index is unique in the marketplace in that it examines seven independent and
unique aspects of value or motivation. Most other values instruments only examine six
dimensions of value by combining the Individualistic and Political into one dimension. The
Values Index remains true to the original works and models of two of the most significant
researchers in this field, thus delivering to you a profile that truly helps you understand your
own unique motivations and drivers.
Also, the Values Index is the first to use a click & drag approach to ranking the various
statements in the instrument, which makes taking the instrument more intuitive, natural and
in the end you can actually create the order you see in your mind on the screen.

Finally, the Values Index instrument contains the most contemporary list of statements to
make your choices more relevant to your life today, which helps ensure the most accurate
results possible.

- 28. Seven Dimensions of Value and Motivation
A closer look at the seven dimensions
Values help influence behavior and action and can be considered
somewhat of a hidden motivation because they are not readily
observable. Understanding your values help to tell you why you prefer
to do what you do.
It is vital for superior performance to ensure that your motivations are
satisfied by what you do. This drives your passion, reduces fatigue,
inspires you and increases drive.

- 46. Patterns Overview
Over fifty years of scientific research has revealed that there are three distinct styles of decision-making. Each
of us can make decisions in these three ways, but we tend to develop a preference for one more than the other
two. This preference becomes a subconscious force, affecting the decisions we make on a daily basis and
shaping how we perceive the world around us and ourselves.
The three decisional styles are the personal, the practical, and the analytical. These dimensions can be examined
in the form of patterns based on two distinct factors unique to axiology.
The Personal Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see the world from a
personal point of view, or with concern for the individuals involved. They see people in a unique, individual light
and are more concerned about others than the results and theory. This involves a personal involvement with,
concentration on, or investment in people. To this style, the world is filled with people needing to be understood.
The Practical Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see things in very practical,
no nonsense, real-world, task oriented manner. They are more concerned with results than others and theory.
They see people in comparative ways as they relate to others. To this style, the world is an objective waiting
to be achieved.
The Analytical Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see the world from a
theoretical perspective, more in an abstract way than a concrete one. They see people as part of a system
and tend to think in very black and white terms. They are more concerned with thinking about things, and
analysis than actual results or personal concerns of others. To this style, the world is a problem to be explored
and solved.
Johnny Dough
To some extent we are all capable of making all three kinds of decisions, but our preference tends to be for
one more than the other two. Here's a simple example of the three in contrast to each other. One of each style
are sitting around a table trying to figure out what to do. While the Personal style is focused on the needs of
the workers involved and how best to utilize their talents, the Practical doesn't really care as much about the
personal needs, or if it is done right, he just wants to get it done. Finally there is the Analytical who sees no
reason to worry about the people involved or even getting it done if it isn't going to be done correctly.
We all have different balances of these three styles; that's what makes our decisions and actions different from
each other's. These ways of making decisions, and how we use them, are at the core of who we are. They are
behind our preferences, our strengths, and our weaknesses. In the following pages you will find a list of capacities
which are the result of your unique combination of these three decisional styles. It is this understanding of your
individual strengths and weaknesses that will enable you to affect change in your life and achieve greater
personal success. It is only by first understanding something that we are then able to change it.

- 47. Balanced I=E=S (H)
External Decision Making Pattern Summary
You are very well developed in all three dimensions of thought (People, Tasks and Systems) and with equal
proportion. You can be very competent in all three dimensions of value from schematic thinking, to practicality
to valuing others. You appreciate and possess equal strengths in: systems, rules, structure, concrete
organization, detailed planning, and people skills.
You are a versatile, quick learner in all of these areas. This can also lead to your becoming easily bored or
anxious in positions that require excessive over or under focus on any one dimension of thought by itself, to
the exclusion of the others (e.g., door to door sales actually requires less than excellent empathy). Overall
development levels in all three dimensions are equal and all are highly developed. Level of development speaks
to your ability t"s" a specific dimension. The more clearly we see a dimension of thought, the more able we are
to use it; therefore the better we are at it.

Internal Decision Making Pattern Summary
The "Split" in a Pattern title signifies extreme separation between a person's Maximizers and minimizers. The
difference between the two can be extreme and very noticeable.
You tend to have a good self esteem and you define yourself based mostly on your own internal sense of worth,
rather than the job you hold or things you own. You live according to a strong sense of who you feel you are,
not what others would want you to be. Your work or primary social roles are of lesser importance to you in
comparison. It is also very possible that you are suffering from some role confusion right now. Something
about one of your major roles in life has changed and as a result you have confusion about how to proceed.
You see the People dimension very well and this is where you have your highest level of development. The
Tasks and Systems dimensions are equal to you in both their importance and development, but both are
considered to have low development levels compared to your high People skills. Level of development speaks
to your ability to "see" a specific dimension. The more clearly we see a dimension of thought, the more able
we are to use it; therefore the better we are at it.
