General
Cognitive Ability
Mr. Sample demonstrated excellent formal verbal skills. There should be little difficulty
with written communications or with absorbing written materials. He is likely to have a
good facility for writing formal letters and reports and is likely to exhibit very good
reading skills. He demonstrated good non-verbal analysis skills and is likely to have good
general reasoning talents. He exhibited a good level of overall cognitive skills and
should be able to handle the cognitive functions in supervisory roles. Further development
of supervisory skills is not likely to be limited by this area. He exhibited very good
perceptual speed and good accuracy and is capable of dealing adequately with details.
Emotional
Adjustment
Mr. Sample might tend to take things personally and to have difficulty dealing with
emotional issues. He could tend to be more reactive than most and have a hard time hiding
feelings from others. There could sometimes be difficulties controlling impulses. He can,
at times, be tense and worrying and may need to make an effort to control frustrations. He
is likely to appear anxious to others on occasion and could have a tendency to become
upset when stressed. He is moderately self-confident but is likely to exhibit sensitivity
to criticism on occasion.
Social
Relationships
Mr. Sample is generally friendly in interactions with others. He is typically cooperative
and will usually participate in group activities if invited. He is likely to be
enthusiastic, to enjoy conversation, and to have a good sense of humor. He is usually
friendly with others but may have a low group orientation with little need to interact
with others on a steady basis. This is an individual who would usually not be bothered by
having to work alone. He may be inclined to join group activities to gain technical
information or some instrumental advantage rather than to enjoy interacting with others.
He could perhaps benefit from further developing a sense of team orientation. He could
also tend to need more recognition than most and to over rate personal performance. He
could be more inclined than most to behave assertively towards others.
Social Insight
Mr. Sample demonstrated good insight into human needs and behavior in general. He
generally appreciates the importance of feedback and probably understands that
controlling, domineering methods are not the best ways to motivate employees. He has an
excellent appreciation of the importance of employee input and employee development. There
is also likely to be a very good understanding of supervisory dynamics and the supervisory
role. He should exhibit good common sense when dealing with subordinates. There is a good
basic understanding of work motivation as well as the interpersonal dynamics between
supervisors and employees.
Leadership
Dominance
Mr. Sample enjoys "taking charge" and leading and perhaps even controlling
others. There may be a tendency to be opinionated and intolerant of other people’s
views and ideas. He is likely to be competitive with a strong need to win. There is likely
to be a strong need to "tell" and for listening skills to be less well
developed. He may exhibit strong negotiating skills. He is likely to be perceived on
occasion as lacking tact and diplomacy when attempting to influence others. There could be
a stubborn side and a tendency to become overly directive when having difficulty
"persuading" people. He is typically willing to take on new responsibilities and
make decisions. There could sometimes be a tendency to take on more than would be
advisable.
Conscientiousness
Mr. Sample may not enjoy routine activities and could run the risk of not paying
sufficient attention to details. He is likely to be interested in new and unfamiliar
social ideas. This is likely to be an individual who is willing to embrace social change,
if convinced the change will represent an improvement. He is likely to have a relaxed
attitude toward rules, regulations, and policies. He is not overly impulsive but is likely
to enjoy change and variety. This person is not likely to be seen as a risk-taker, but
there may be a tendency to take more advantage of the moment if risks are not present.
