Page 2 - Interpersonal Needs Inventory Sample Report

Your Intepersonal Orientation Results:

Below are your scores for all six paramaters along both the dimensions of Give or Expressed and Receive or
Wanted. Give - G or 'expressed' refers to how much you initiate the behavior and Receive - R or 'want'
indicates how much you want others to intiate the behavior before you respond.

Moderate 80 68 High 80 68

On the Belonging dimension you have a Low 'G' and a moderate 'R" which indicates that you rarely initiate the need for interaction with others, usually you
do not. It This could be interpreted as you are very cautious when initiating or opening a social relationship. It could also mean that you want to carefully
map yourself into the other person's expectations. In cases where you do not find an appropriate response to your gestures, you may prefer to step
back. Conversely, a moderate R indicates that you usually acknowledge and accept such behavior from others
On the Recognition dimension you have a moderate 'G' and a high 'R' which can indicate that while recognizing others you are generous and do not go
overboard with your appreciation. However, you do display a strong need to be recognized by others and usually wlecome such opportunities
Taken together it means that you are cautious before expressing a behaviour, before you are sure how the person will respond. While this is usually a
reliable approach, it can also potentially derail your behavior when you need to deal with a tough situation or when you need to send a firm or tough
message to people around you. When you overuse this approach, you can appear as submissive and timid to other person.

On the Power dimension you have a high 'G' and a High 'R' which indicates that you usually initiate or demonstrate your preference to have control over
people, situations and decisions in certain situations while in many other situations you allow yourself to be controlled by others This could be interpreted
as you are often conflicted within yourself trying to establish for yourself what could be a better approach - controlling or letting others control.
84
On the Influence dimension you have a moderate 'G' and a low 'R' which indicates that you usually like to influence people around you through appropriate
behaviours. A low 'W' indicates that you do not allow yourself to easily get influenced by others. This could be seen as you valuing your independence and
do not expect much from others. It could also be perceived as your Self - Confidence by others. Your report indicates that who you want to
influence and get influenced by depends largely on exactly who the other person is.
60
Taken together, the scores of your 'Control' dimension can be interpreted as indicating that you have a high need to exercise control in your immediate
social environment, you prefer to do this through an exchange of power - that is exercise control in some situations and let yourself be controlled by
others in certain other situations. Your ocassionaly explore Control through Influence but restrict it only for people who are socially close to you.

On the Affiliation dimension you have a Low 'G' and a moderate 'R' indicating that you usually refrain from displaying overt behaviours to attract
attention of other people. A moderate R indicates that you respond favorably when you receive such attention and do not make attempts to shy away
from such interactions. You could appear as calm and stolid to other people, which others can interpret as you being a difficult and unresponsive
person to approach.. While Affiliation is reflected through close personal relationships, the dimension of "reach out" need is reflected in concern for
others, including a group or a society. Those who fight for a cause often display this need. On the dimension of 'Reach Out" the report indicates that
you have a Low but almost bordering on moderate G and a significantly low 'R'. This could be interpreted as you maintain a moderate and positive public
image but at the same time have an extremely guarded and calibrated response, towards others seeking to reach out towards you. To other people
you could come across as person who takes time to gain trust
Taken together, the report could be interpreted as saying that on the Affection dimension of personal closeness you maintain two distinct images -
one towards those that constitute your inner circle of close confidantes, and and different image for the public in general.
