Workstyle preferences:

Here are the results and interpretations of how you best like to think, work and relate. This information is designed to help you better understand your ideal job culture. Use these results to help identify job opportunities and environments where you will thrive!

THINKING

* You probably prefer a job that allows some innovative thinking and originality rather than just implementing or executing the ideas of other people. This might involve the development or improvement of processes or products and would value ‘thinking out of the box’.

* Your preference is to be involved in projects or work that require a depth of expertise or specialization. Think about jobs where you can either build your expertise, or utilize and leverage your existing expertise. You may be happiest in jobs that emphasize learning more about your areas of interest and value the type of expertise you have or would like to have.

WORKING

* You appear to really enjoy working in new and unknown areas. Look for a job where you are challenged to adapt to new things or make frequent shifts in priorities or changes in direction.

Typically, these would include jobs where the issues are clear and you can use pre-established guidelines or your previous experience to quickly decide what to do then do it.
