Self Management
Example: People would see you as occasionally competitive and somewhat assertive and aggressive in specific situations. Within an established job, with a structured work situation, you would tend to stand out as an exceptionally well organized person who could be depended upon to get the job done. With specific training in such areas as time management and planning, and with the opportunity to apply these newly developed skills in a job, you could become an even more valuable and valued employee in an organization which requires some flexibility and adaptability to change in its workers. You are responsive to others and will tend to seek guidance from your project leader or manager whenever goals are unclear. You will be most comfortable in a situation that is well documented and/or similar to your previous experience.
Developmental Suggestions
- Example: Seek well documented projects and environments.
- Example: Make a habit of planning your daily activity and reviewing it on a daily basis.

Motivational Profile
Example: You would be described as motivated by challenge and impatient when not achieving your goals. You are motivated by a mixture of short and long term goals and are most effective in situations that offer both.

Developmental Suggestions
- Example: Your drive can be a positive force for you by helping you to seek new challenges and to be the best you can be at what you do. Make certain that you assess your short term personal goals regularly and are certain that they are leading you to your longer term objectives.
- Example: Your achievement orientation may create a sense of frustration if the goals you set are too hard and a sense of non-achievement if they are too easily achieved so look for reasonable targets and stretch your limits gradually. For example, if you are able to quantify your work, establish numerical targets and gradually increase them.

You will notice some overlaps in the career paths and jobs as many organizations require integrated solutions and operating processes across several departments and disciplines. Many career paths are based on a specific set of skills (such as writing skills) or an extensive base of knowledge (such as engineering) that can be utilized or beneficial in many sectors or career paths. For example, writing skills are a fundamental skill for journalists, novelists, screenplay writers, technical journal writers or for writing training materials. Engineers can be sales managers, project managers, trainers or small business owners. The key is education.
