Life Styles Inventory – Personal Results
Introduction Brian was mildly trepid about viewing the results of the Life Styles Inventory he had taken. Perhaps because his thinking and behavior were never charted he was nervous to see the results; or maybe he was worried that an objective view of his thinking style would reveal more about his personality than he was comfortable revealing. Whatever the reason, he was intrigued by the results. The results revealed things about him he didn’t know, confirmed suspicions of personality traits, encouraged changes to negative style trends, and otherwise provided a surprisingly accurate assessment of his thinking and behavioral styles.
Personal thinking styles Brian’s primary thinking style was achievement (the 11 o’clock position in the circumplex), where he scored a 40, in the 99th percentile. His backup style was affiliative (the 2 o’clock position on the circumplex) where he scored a 36, in the 83rd percentile. Both of these styles, though surprisingly high are represented in his work and life. Since high school he was a highly motivated person, and has set realistic goals and attained those goals. His work reflects the achievement style as well; the consulting company started when he graduated high school is an example, and his upwards career path also demonstrates his achievement style. The high score for the affiliative style indicates people-oriented personalities that emphasize teamwork and cooperation. However, this personality trait alone won’t necessarily accomplish anything because it will focus on the relationships and teamwork but not push to
