Read each sentence below.
Choose the number from the key below that tells how you naturally are,
i.e. your innate nature, NOT how you think or feel someone else wants you to be.
Select the number from 0-5 that best describes you; then, write the chosen number
on the line provided at the right of each statement.
Do not think of yourself in a particular role when you complete this.
There are no right or wrong answers.
The goal is to discover your natural preferences so you can use
this information to experience more success in all areas of your life.
Remember people are born with natural talents that strongly influence how they
naturally prefer to learn.
It is a well established fact that individuals naturally
perceive the world differently.
The results of this screening inventory will give
you greater insight for understanding yourself and others so that
learning and
communication are enhanced and differences are better understood.
This inventory is a useful tool for team (family) learning that results in greater team
(family) performance and increased intellectual capital.
