Below are four questions. Each describes two different lists of personality characteristics or "styles". Both styles are equally valuable, and neither one is better or worse.

Start with Question 1. Read both sets of descriptions. Choose whether style A or style B describes you better, as a whole. Try to answer as you really are, not how you may wish you were or may have to act at work. Then answer the other three questions.

1. Would you rather talk with lots of different people (Style A), or have an in-depth conversation with one person (Style B):

Style A	Style B
You get excited and energized by being around new people. You may have many friends and like to have a lot of people in your life. As a result you tend to:	While you like people, you also enjoy spending quiet time by yourself. You usually prefer a small group of close friends. As a result you tend to:
Enjoy talking with people Make new friends easily Prefer to do many things at once Answer questions quickly Think out loud Be comfortable talking with strangers Sometimes be easily distracted	Be a good listener Develop a few, but deep friendships Devote time to the friends you already have Take your time answering questions Think before you speak Prefer to talk with people you know, rather than strangers Be good at concentrating on a task

Which style seems to fit you best? *This question is required.

2. Are you more of a realistic person who pays attention to what is happening now (Style A), or one who thinks about what may happen in the future (Style B):

Style A	Style B
