NEED: While you appreciate a certain amount of openness and frankness from others, you also
need to feel a personal respect from time to time, especially from the significant people in your life.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Both too much sentiment and lack of personal concern are likely to cause
you discomfort. Any criticism of you needs to be balanced with genuine praise.
Possible stress reactions:
undue sensitivity
over-directness

NEED: The comfort you display in social settings conceals your underlying need to spend a
considerable amount of time by yourself or in the company of one or two other significant
individuals.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Continuous pressure to be involved in social or group situations can upset
your sense of well-being. Without sufficient time to yourself you are likely to become withdrawn,
possibly to an extent that will surprise yourself and others.
Possible stress reactions:
withdrawal
tendency to ignore groups
becoming impatient

STRUCTURE: ORGANIZING
Placing a high value on system and order, you display definite strength in your preference to work
from a plan. You can attend to detail, anticipate difficulties and include contingencies in your
planning.
Strengths:
systematic
procedural
concerned with detail
NEED: It is important to note that your strengths are maximized to the extent that your plan is of
your own making. Even though you will put systems and procedures in place, you need occasional
opportunities to bend your own rules.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Since you try to put first things first, you logically emphasize systems and
control. External interference in your plan can frustrate and distract you. You may over-react to
pressures that threaten your personal freedom.
Possible stress reactions:
over-generalizing
neglect of order and system
weakened follow-through

G4KQW4
NEED: From others, you need suggestion and low-key persuasion rather than direct orders.
Generally pleasant and agreeable relationships are preferred, with occasional opportunities for you
to influence the thinking and actions of others.
CAUSES OF STRESS: When friendly disagreement turns to argument or open confrontation, you
may be surprised to find yourself becoming bossy, even domineering, at least in the eyes of others.
Possible stress reactions:
becoming demanding
airing opinions too freely
speaking without listening

G4KQW4
NEED: However, it is clear that you are of the opinion that other people are very competitive and
concerned with personal advancement. This implies a need on your part to have your achievements
recognized, and to sense a competitive advantage over others.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Being kept informed is vital to maintaining your need for advantage. You
can easily become distrustful and opportunistic when you feel that advantage slipping, and you
have little patience with the impracticality of extreme idealism.
Possible stress reactions:
over-emphasizing quick success
becoming opportunistic
self-promotional attitudes

NEED: However, you prefer to be in control regarding the spending of your energies. It is best
when your environment neither places the demands of a heavy schedule upon you, nor emphasizes
thought and reflection to the exclusion of personal action.
CAUSES OF STRESS: External demands on your energies, either physical or mental, are likely to
be frustrating to you. When you are denied the opportunity to balance planning with action, your
naturally high energy level may result in unexpected fatigue.
Possible stress reactions:
edginess
feeling fatigued

Daryl Page
G4KQW4
NEED: In order to support your positive self-image, it is important that your schedule be comprised
primarily of activities that you know you can do well, as this reinforces your confidence.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Being placed in difficult or demanding situations can begin to stir reminders
of possible personal shortcomings, which in turn upsets your positive self-image. You can benefit
from helpful assistance when evaluating your performance or mistakes.
Possible stress reactions:
over-emphasis on making good impression
avoiding self-critical evaluation
unjustified enthusiasm

NEED: By contrast, you function best in surroundings which encourage you and others to express
and work out your emotional responses. You need to feel that your problems are important to
others, that others are aware of your personal feelings.
CAUSES OF STRESS: When you sense that your feelings are being overlooked or ignored by others,
you are inclined to overemphasize the importance of your feelings and become dispirited, perhaps
even getting depressed.
Possible stress reactions:
becoming overly sensitive
loss of objectivity
strong discouragement

G4KQW4
NEED: In the same way, you respond best to situations and surroundings which offer frequent
changes of activity. You get positive reinforcement from an environment that allows you to move
around.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Excessive emphasis on routine can easily put you under pressure. Without
the stimulation of novelty and change you are likely to become restless and annoyed.
Possible stress reactions:
annoyance at delays
problems with self-discipline
inability to concentrate

FREEDOM: INDEPENDENCE
While you are not generally bound by convention, you are able to resist the temptation to be
individualistic for its own sake. Your preferred pattern is to strike a balance between the unorthodox
and the conventional.
Strengths:
balances conformity and independence
individualistic, yet restrained
consistent, but distinctive
NEED: However, maximum support for your strengths can be found in surroundings that
encourage an independence of attitude and outlook. You need to sense an emphasis on selfexpression and individuality.
CAUSES OF STRESS: When you feel that others are not open to your sense of personal freedom,
you are likely to wind up in a struggle to win that recognition, becoming overly-individualistic,
nonconforming and perhaps somewhat rebellious.
Possible stress reactions:
non-conventional behavior
individualism for its own sake
unpredictability of action

NEED: Preferably, your responsibilities and activities should not require quick and decisive action.
Under pressure, you need to feel that you have exhausted all possibilities and consequences.
CAUSES OF STRESS: Pressure mounts when you are hurried in your actions and when you are
rushed in making judgments. Your need for careful thought makes you dread the unforeseen, and
can result in needlessly postponing or evading a decision.
Possible stress reactions:
becoming indecisive
fear of the unknown
unnecessary caution

Organizational Focus
The Organizational Focus tells you the general work environment in which you're going to feel
most motivated and most comfortable. We generate this information by determining how similar
you are to other people who work in these work environments.
Career Summary
The Career Summary is an overview of the strengths you will probably bring to the work you do.
These strengths are extracted from the Organizational Focus and Job Families/Job Titles sections.
Your career decisions should be based on many factors, including your experience, your education,
and your preferences. We believe that the Career Management Report will provide useful
information in many of these areas.

Rather than represent you in terms of your strongest Organizational Focus, we use all four. The color bars
that describe your Focus may be of varying lengths: all long, all short, or a mixture.
The bottom color of the four is always the longest. The longer the bar, the more you are likely to identify
with the work environment represented by that color.

The second longest bar is your supporting color. It's less significant for you than your bottom-line color, but
it will give you additional information about the work environment that fits you best.
The two remaining bars represent work environments which are likely to be less attractive for you, and
where you are less likely to "fit".

G4KQW4
ALICIA KEAR :
In working with others, she is more private than appearances indicate; her friendly nature belies her ability to
take her own course of action.
When giving or accepting direction, she can be orderly, but needs freedom from control; she is somewhat
outspoken, and when pressed becomes provocative, even domineering.
As to competitiveness and stamina, her cooperative behavior conceals a need for individualized, personalized
benefits; any difficulties can result in a loss of spirit and feelings of self-pity. Generally pleasant and confident,
she will need extra support in difficult situations.
When organizing or planning, she is responsive and attentive, adapting more easily than most to changes in
routine; she is realistic and restrained, but only within a framework that permits and encourages freedom of
expression. Generally decisive and matter-of-fact, weightier issues lead her to worry.
Impose a minimum of routine. Keep instructions broad, but help when deadlines and details slip. Structure
Facilitate her preferences for self-determination and autonomy. Authority
Where possible, provide rewards of a personal nature. Advantage
