Personality Survey

Let's have a little fun taking a look at your communication preferences or behavior style and how that might interact with another in your life.

Answer these several questions as honestly as you possibly can by clicking on the circle infront of each description that most applies to you. This will determine your location on the scale identifying your dominant style. Please remember that there are no right or wrong answers; We have done our best not to use language that could be construed as judgmental. Instruments are designed to describe personality are never intended to be a measure of better or worse, simply different.

This particular questionnaire has not been scientifically validated. It is, however, our personal version of all of the various assessment instruments we have administered and used over the course of 15 years. Remember, the results are not prescriptive, rather descriptive of our styles and patterns.

Enjoy it. Give enough thought to consider which description most applies to you, but don't belabor it with too much thought. You should be able to relate to one or the other relatively quickly. Trust your gut responses to the questions.
