CURRENT SITUATION
This section will provide a clear perspective regarding the changes occurring in this individual 's
behavioral style. It describes which aspects of the individual's natural style are being modified in an
effort to adapt to his or her current job requirements.
Decision-Making
Ths analysis indicates that, normally, when Mostafa makes decisions, he assumes a certain level of
risk. Naturally, he will have no major problems making decisions even when he doesn't have all the
information at hand; he will simply base his decisions on the facts "within his reach." At the present
time, Mostafa senses that his current situation does not require that he make any major changes to his
"decision-making" style. Mostafa feels his present situation allows him to make decisions with the
available information, basing his decisions on the facts "within his reach".
Energy Balance
No changes in his energy were perceived, this assessment therefore suggests that Mostafa feels his
energy level is compatible with the situation he currently faces with.
Behavioral Changes
This assessment suggests that Mostafa feels that he does not currently need to modify his natural style
to adapt to the behavioral requirements of the position. This can be interpreted as a certain inability to
adapt or lack of flexibility.
On the other hand, the profile intensity is not very strong, which leads us to believe that Mostafa has
the potential flexibility to adapt his natural style to an environment that requires some modification.
This report is related only to behavioral characteristics. Success in any specific job will depend
exclusively on the applicant's intelligence, skills and relevant experience.

It is extremely important and useful to identify an individual's Natural Behavioral Profiles in order to
predict how much effort these competencies will require, that is, whether the individual will be able to
display them naturally, spontaneously and effortlessly or whether they will require a greater effort
because they are not natural to the individual. For example, a "naturally impatient and restless"
individual will have to make a greater effort in the "Analytical Skills" competency, while the "Sense of
Urgency" competency will be a natural skill and will therefore require the least effort.

Seven action aids
1. Remember the benefits you will gain when you achieve your goals.
Identify the benefits you will receive: greater job effectiveness, enhanced job satisfaction, improved
interpersonal skills, etc. What will be the benefits?
2. Remember your available time.
There are 525,600 minutes in a year. If you devote 15 minutes a day to your development, you will be
dedicating a total of 5,475 minutes per year. This is only 0.0104 of your total available minutes per
year. Can you afford to devote 0.0104 of your available minutes to your development?
3. Do one thing at a time.
The great task of self-development is made up of many lesser tasks. Divide and conquer: divide the
big task into several smaller sub-tasks. Then, concentrate on one sub-task at a time until you finish it.
4. Practice, practice, practice.
Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the more you learn. A short practice session every
day is better than one long practice session each week.
5. Perseverance conquers all.
Stick to your Action Plan. Perseverance is an essential behavior in order for you to achieve your
goals. Individuals often stop when they are close to success. Keep going… do not stop. If you stop ,
you will never achieve your goals.
6. React effectively to your mistakes.
We all make mistakes. You will make them when carrying out your Action Plan and when working to
achieve your goals. Respond effectively. Be accountable for your mistakes. Have confidence in spite
of your mistakes and learn from them. Do not think that you should never make mistakes, do not be
concerned or become obsessed with your mistakes and do not become discouraged because you
have made them.
7. Call upon your "success memories."
When you feel pressured or frustrated or when you feel that you are not making progress on your
Action Plan, call upon a "success memory." Remember one of your past successes or achievements.
Fill your mind with this memory and allow it to create positive thoughts, emotions and images. You will
feel better, your confidence will increase and you will be able to continue working on your Action Plan
and the achievement of your goals.
