There is one subject we don't study in school, but it is the one subject that is essential to your own happiness and quality of life. That subject is YOU!
The LSI authors describe the instrument in this way: “Depending on how you choose to use them, your thoughts can be your strongest allies or your worst enemies. The LSI enables you to examine your own unique way of thinking and how it influences your behavior. Using what you learn about yourself, you can determine where and how to direct your self-improvement efforts to achieve lasting, measurable results.”
The LSI characterizes who I am and the shape of my life. LSI creates a profile of my current thinking style. Also, I can see how the 12 personal thinking styles work together to determine my behaviors.
The analysis of the LSI profile and 12 personal thinking styles are describes as per self-development guide.
In humanistic-encouraging section I did score in the medium range 69%. This score indicates that I demonstrate concern for others and can be supportive of them. Because I generally try to encourage people in their efforts to improve, others probably see me as inspirational. I recognize the value of positive feedback and frequently use it as motivator. These statements are accurate about me.
This style also works well with high score in achievement. I did score 90% in achievement section. This suggests that I do things well, and tend to focus on the quality of both my performance and the results my achievements. In addition, humanistic-encouraging behavior can be affected when the perfectionistic score is high. By being perfectionistic, I avoid to get closer to others because my imperfections can be discovered. I did a new discovery about myself.
Affiliative indicates that I am a friendly person who enjoys people and able to establish warm, trusting relationships with those who I am interested.
