Analytical - Analytical people are known for being systematic, well organized and deliberate. These individuals
appreciate facts and information presented in a logical manner as documentation of truth. They enjoy
organization and completion of detailed tasks. Others may see them at times as being too cautious, overly
structured, someone who does things too much 'by the book'.
•
The Owl: controlled, orderly, precise, disciplined, deliberate, cautious, diplomatic, systematic,
logical, and conventional.
Driver - They thrive on the thrill of the challenge and the internal motivation to succeed. Drivers are practical
folks who focus on getting results. They can do a lot in a very short time. They usually talk fast, direct and to
the point. Often viewed as decisive, direct and pragmatic.
•
The Eagle: action-orientated, decisive, problem solver, direct, assertive, demanding, risk taker,
forceful, competitive, independent, determined, results-oriented.
Amiable - They are dependable, loyal and easygoing. They like things that are non-threatening and friendly.
They hate dealing with impersonal details and cold hard facts. They are usually quick to reach a decision. Often
described as a warm person and sensitive to the feelings of others but at the same time wishy-washy.
•
The Dove: patient, loyal, sympathetic, team person, relaxed, mature, supportive, stable,
considerate, empathetic, persevering, trusting, congenial.
Expressive - Very outgoing and enthusiastic, with a high energy level. They are also great idea generators,
but usually do not have the ability to see the idea through to completion. They enjoy helping others and are
particularly fond of socializing. They are usually slow to reach a decision. Often thought of as a talker, overly
dramatic, impulsive, and manipulative.
•
The Peacock: verbal, motivating, enthusiastic, convincing, impulsive, influential, charming,
confident, dramatic, optimistic, animated.
After completing the survey, the graph placed me in the analytical section. I agree with the results as
I usually like to be careful and work with facts. Sometimes I take risks, but they are usually calculated risks. I
like to make sure things run smoothly with very little to no mistakes at all. It also described the person being
diplomatic as well which is fairly accurate to what I would do. I do not like having any bad-blood or drama in
the group as that will mess up the overall flow with everything. If everyone is on the same page, things will
move quicker, and we can get things done.
While I mostly agree with the assessment, there are a few things that I do not necessarily agree
with. I also like to think that I can be social at times. Like most people, if I am paired up with people I don’t
know, I am usually quiet. When I get to know them or when the ice is broken, I will start to talk more as I am
more comfortable at time and maybe even be humorous (or at least try to be).
