This style reflects self promoting thinking & behavior used to maintain status/position & fulfill security needs through task related activities. My primary style is achievement. My backup thinking style is perfectionistic and was closely followed by approval. My limiting style appears to be humanistic-encouraging.
Achievement style person usually set goals & be enthusiastic about working towards challenging but realistic goals.
