Indicator Tests :Indicator Tests Self-monitoring Big five locator Interaction styles Learning styles Hemisphere dominance inventory test Insight game; and Dancing girl


Self-monitoring :Self-monitoring A high self-monitor has the ability (or want) to change the way others perceive them depending upon their audience. Both subjects scored 47 which means that are not high-self monitors, but tending towards that region.


Big five locator :Big five locator Emotional stability – strong or weak? Subject A has weak emotional stability – i.e. Highly strung, tend to worry, reactive Subject B is on the high side of responsive – i.e. Stronger emotional stability Extrovert or introvert? Both subjects are considered ambiverts (in between)


Big five locator :Big five locator Openness to experience Subject A is more practical, conservative and highly efficient Subject B displays moderate behaviours. Open to new experiences and a good mix of practicality. Agreeableness Both subjects rated as good negotiators


Big five locator :Big five locator Conscientiousness Subject A is fairly balanced been low and high conscientiousness Subject B is more spontaneous, unconcerned with deadlines, adaptable, fickle and impulsive


Interaction styles :Interaction styles Subject A scored between ‘chart the course’ and ‘get things going’. They like order in starting a new project and look to forward to getting the project complete. Subject B rates as ‘get things going’. Thrive on being a facilitator or catalyst. Like to inspire others, motivate and expressive with upbeat energy. Like team work.


Learning Styles :Learning Styles Subject A is visual verbal or visual non verbal Information presented visually with aid of blackboard Helps presenting key points in pictures or diagrams Gets distracted easily so works better in a quieter environment Subject B is also visual verbal or visual non verbal however scored high with auditory and kinaesthetic. As above but also likes to get ‘hands on’ in an activity.

Dancing girl :Dancing girl Subject A could see the spinning lady move both clockwise and anti-clockwise but couldn’t control direction Subject B could see both directions and could control the direction These results back up the hemisphere dominance inventory test


Implications of behaviours :Implications of behaviours ‘Get things going’ - Both subjects would remain focussed on moving towards achieving a common goal (the implementation of the women’s networking group) Artistic – Subject A has an artistic side, enlist them to develop flyers and document formatting.


Relating in the workplace :Relating in the workplace Relates back to self-monitoring – they can pick up on cues or signals the other person is giving off Agreeableness – both scored within the middle, means they are good negotiators Conscientiousness – Subject B lets the team down here by being more spontaneous and unconcerned with deadlines


Functioning as a team :Functioning as a team Subject A could adapt to following the lead of subject B as indicated in the Insight indicator test. Scoring low in openness means less creativity and innovation


Goal achievement :Goal achievement Subject A likes detail and schedules so should take on the project management with this task. Great articulator. Subject B see the big picture so could take a macro approach with the project. Enthusiasm to ‘sell’ places on the committee. If both work together using their strengths they would be successful in achieving their goals.
