others and in fact prefer to be
controlled by others.

*Disclaimer: This is not a Personality Style Report. This report is based on the answers given by the respondent during the assessment. As you read this report, please consider how the results compare with your
own sense of how you interact with others. Like most psychometric assessments this report does not claim 100 percent accuracy. You should avoid making major decisions based on the results of only this
assessment . It is strongly recomended that this report be interpreted alongside other personality assessment tools like MBTI, Hogan, Clifton StrengthFinder, etc. The results of this assessment should not be used
to make a judgement about whether any behaviour or any person is good or bad. This report is designed specifically for meeting training and development objectives, and should be used only for such purposes.
No human wants to live in isolation and they want to interact and share
their social craving among other people be it in their workplace,
personal lives or any other social settings.
This tool focuses on how you are oriented to interpersonal relations. It
is a measure of your interpersonal needs and not a test of your abilities.
It identifies how you tend to behave towards others and how you want
them to behave towards you. This report will help you understand how
you handle interpersonal relationships, your own social needs, how
others perceive you and how you see them.
This instrument is based on the model that identifies six interpersonal
needs under three broad categories - Inclusion, Affection and Control
1. The need for interaction - Belonging & Recognition - INCLUSION
2. The need for relationship - Affiliation & Reach out - AFFECTION
3. The need for power - Power & Influence - CONTROL
This assessment also indicates your preferences in regard to two
distinct aspects of each of these need areas. Expressed and wanted
behaviours operate dynamically between individuals. How
individuals respond to expressed behaviour from others will depend
on how much they want that type of behaviour or are prepared to
accept and tolerate.
