Your behavioral style
You combine openness with warmth, so people feel good around you and are glad to stay.
You carry all four styles inside you, only the proportions differ.
How fast you move on things, and whether you look at the task first or at the person.
Fast 46%Measured 49%
Neither rushing nor endless deliberating. You can speed up when it is needed and wait just as easily when waiting makes sense. The weak spot of that balance is that your pace often ends up being set by everyone else.
Tasks 32%People 63%
You read the people and the atmosphere first, the brief itself second. It makes you good to work near, but it also means you put off the unpleasant things longer than is healthy.
How big the gap is between your strongest and weakest style, and what that means in practice.
45profile spread
There is a wide gap between your strongest and weakest style. Some modes sit far in front and show in almost every situation, others stay so far back that you never switch into them on your own. Where the environment suits you it reads clear and strong, but outside it, people notice the mismatch before you do.
What your leading style means in practice, where it helps you and where it holds you back.
18% of the people who took the test have this main style.
Your behavioral style
You combine openness with warmth, so people feel good around you and are glad to stay. You can give credit, back people up and keep the atmosphere good without drowning anyone out. The risk is the difficult subject: you would rather go around it with a joke or a kindness than open it up - and what stays unsaid comes back.
Primary style
You take your energy from people. An idea only comes fully alive once you have talked it through with someone - and few people walk away from you without wanting in.
Influence
Contagious enthusiasm, ease in making contact, and the ability to sell an idea even to an audience that did not buy it at first. In a stuck team, you can restart the mood.
Influence
You start more things than you finish, and details slip through your fingers. A strong need for recognition can also steer you away from what is right toward what goes down well.
Communication
You enjoy talking, you talk vividly, and you think out loud. The risk is that the floor goes mainly to whoever else is talking - the quieter colleague never gets into a debate that is already rolling.
Work style
You work best among people, on things with visible impact, and with room to improvise. Solitude, routine and long paperwork drain you.
Under pressure
Under stress you talk even more and promise faster than you can deliver. When the words come with a sting that nobody noticed your work, it is time to slow down and finish something.
Roles and career
Sales, marketing, PR, training, HR, media - anywhere the work is with people and the ability to inspire pays off.
The style you reach for least, and when it pays to bring it in deliberately or call in someone else.
Lowest score
Dominance is your weakest style, so conflict, pressure and fast decisions are your last resort. The moment somebody needs to be stopped, an unpleasant no needs saying, or a call has to be made without full information, your instinct will be to put it off a little longer. In situations like that it pays to bring in someone with a strong D, or at least to set yourself a deadline after which you decide with whatever you have.
The lowest score is not a flaw of character. It only marks the mode you will not get into on your own, which is exactly why it pays to know when to bring someone else in for it.
A guide to dealing with each of the four styles so that differences do not turn into friction.
When you deal with the D style
Get to the core fast and talk about the result, not the road to it. Save the enthusiasm for later; you win them with a concrete benefit and by leaving the decision to them.
When you deal with the I style
Two enthusiasts hit it off within a minute, but the meeting often ends without a conclusion. Agree in advance who delivers what and by when - and write it down so you both have something to hold on to.
When you deal with the S style
Ease off on the pace and the volume. They need time to think it over and reassurance that things will not change overnight; ask for their opinion directly, because they will not volunteer it.
When you deal with the C style
Enthusiasm does not count as an argument with them. Bring numbers, documentation and a concrete plan, give them time to check it, and do not take their questions personally - those questions are exactly how you earn their trust.
Tips for people with the other styles on how to deal with you so that teamwork runs smoothly.
Acknowledge their enthusiasm before you get to the point. You gain an ally who will sell your plan to everyone else - just give them room to talk.
Give them room to talk and get excited, and only then write down together what actually holds. Appreciation said out loud works better with them than you would expect.
Do not open with objections. Acknowledge the idea first, then add the facts and ask what the two of you will do about the risks - otherwise you become their permanent brake.
