WORK-RELATED PERSONALITY
Completed a predictive Index test (PI)1 as a self-report measurement of work-related personality. The results of
the test are presented below.
STRONGEST BEHAVIORS:
Zaid will most strongly express the following behaviors:
 Proactivity, assertiveness, and sense of urgency in driving to reach his goals. Openly challenges the world
around him.
 Independent in putting forth his own ideas, which are often innovative and, if implemented, cause change.
Resourcefully works through or around anything blocking completion of what he wants to accomplish;
aggressive when challenged.
 Impatient for results, he puts pressure on himself and others for rapid implementation, and is far less
productive when doing routine work.
 Proactively connects quickly to others; he's open and sharing of himself. Builds and leverages relationships
to get work done.
 Comfortably fluent and fast talk, in volume. He enthusiastically persuades and motivates others by
considering their point of view and adjusting his delivery.
 Collaborative; usually works with and through others. Intuitive understanding of team cohesion, dynamics,
and interpersonal relations.
SUMMARY
Zaid is a confident, independent self-starter with competitive drive, initiative, a sense of urgency, and the ability
to make decisions and take responsibility for them. He can react and adjust quickly to changing conditions and
come up with ideas for dealing with them.
His drive is purposeful, directed at getting things done quickly. He responds positively and actively to challenge
and pressure, and he has confidence inhis ability tohandle novel problems and people. He isan outgoing, poised
person, a lively and enthusiastic communicator, tending to be a little more authoritative than persuasive in his
style. Zaid talks briskly, with assurance and conviction and is a stimulating influence on others, while being firm,
direct, and self-assured in dealing with them.
His work pace is distinctly faster-than-average. He learns and takes action quickly. On the other hand, he will
become impatient and restless working repetitively with routine details or structured work, will delegate such
work if his position permits, and will follow up, focusing on completion and accomplishment, rather than how
things were done. With an interest in other people and their development, Zaid will delegate authority, limiting
such delegation to people in whom he has high levels of confidence, and following up with pressure for timely
results.
He makes decisions about people and situations quickly. He assesses what's generally going on, and rather than
exhaustively research, pulls together the information he has and takes action forcefully. He's confident in his
assumptions about any missing information, and is comfortable acting even in the absence of complete
information. For Zaid, continual progress towards the general goal is more important than always being exactly
on track; he's flexible and will make course corrections as necessary, when the time arises.
Sure of himself, Zaid sets high standards of achievement for himself and others and looks for opportunities to
compete and to win. Venturesome, he is stimulated by new challenges and situations, and is generally driving
himself and others to new horizons. He is ambitious both for himself and for the business which employs him.

MANAGEMENT STYLE
As a manager of people or projects, Zaid will be:
 Broadly focused; his attention is on where he's bringing his team, and what goals he wants them to achieve,
rather than on the specifics of how they will get there
 Comfortable delegating details and implementation plans
 Reluctant to delegate true authority; he will discuss ideas with others, and is open to their view points, but
will only change his mind when the idea better helps his overall goal
 Quick to follow-up on delegated tasks, generally asking more whether it's finished than how it was
accomplished
 Constantly looking to improve performance and ability to compete
 Inclusive and team-building
 Direct and quick to voice his opinion of how things are going.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
To maximize his effectiveness, productivity, and job satisfaction, consider providing Zaid with the following:
 As much independence and flexibility in his activities as possible
 Opportunities to learn and advance
 Opportunities for expression of, and action on, his own ideas and initiatives
 Variety and challenge in his responsibilities
 Opportunities to prove himself, and recognition and reward for doing so
 Freedom from routines and repetitive details, balanced by accountability for results.
