Background
on Personal Styles...
Thank you for visiting this site, which gives you the
opportunity to take the Understanding Personal Styles
profile survey on a trial basis,
so as to better understand your personality profile.
Here's the story:
Success in business is as much based upon using
inter-personal skills effectively as it is based upon using
professional skills. Personal characteristics are specific
to each individual, and include preferences regarding the
self and relationships with others. Professional
characteristics apply to occupation and public life in
terms of role, qualifications, competence, and experience.
Inter-personal characteristics include oral and written
communications abilities, and the extent to which an
individual is a team player. Individual contributors
usually have less developed inter-personal skills than
experienced entrepreneurs, leaders, and managers who are
able to get things done through others.
A personal style is a set of personality characteristics.
Every individual has a personal style profile - specific
personality characteristics that determine their
preferences.
Definitions of personal styles have been used throughout
history by philosophers; modern definitions trace their
roots to research work by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
By understanding how to quickly identify certain key
attributes of each personal style, and to recognize them in
other people, an individual can quickly relate, build a
rapport, and interact with others. Hence, an individual is
more likely to appear friendly and be able to influence
others. "Relate" means that an individual has similar
preferences to another; "rapport" means that an individual
can build a relationship with another; and "interact" means
that two or more individuals can do things together.
If an individual can adapt their personal style to
another's without losing their own, they can increase the
likelihood of success in entertaining, informing,
convincing, persuading, and negotiating to close
transactions for mutual benefit.
To learn more about your personal style, please follow
these instructions carefully.
