THREE KEY PLAYERS TO
THE ENTIRE PROCESS
Administrator
An
Administrator is a person who distributes the Assessments through Assessment
Invitations. This could be either a trainer who uses the Assessments in seminars
or a consultant, coach or manager who might use the Assessments on an assignment
with a team, a family unit, a Board of Directors, etc.
Member
This
is an individual whom the Administrator has authorized to take an Assessment
through their Assessment invitation.
Observer
An
observer is someone who the member invites to complete an online observer
Assessment on the member.
This
is a key feature that enables members to acquire a unique 360-degree view
of themselves by inviting an unlimited number of observers, within a 30-day
period, to complete an Assessment on them. Members simply type in the observer’s
name and email address and that’s it. The rest is totally automated. The
observers are sent an email from the member inviting them to complete the
assessment on the member’s behalf. (Click here to see the email sent
from the member to the observer)
FIVE KEY COMPONENTS IN
THE BEHAVIORAL STYLE ASSESSMENT PACKAGE
The Online Behavioral
Style Assessment
The
Online Behavioral Style Assessment is an online 18-question Assessment that
only takes 3-5 minutes to complete. The member reads a pair of statements
and decides which statement best describes them. Once completed, it will
be determined which behavioral style the member is and generate a personalized
Behavioral Style Assessment Report.
There
are four primary behavioral styles. Each one of these four styles has very
distinct and predictable patterns of observable behavior. Each of the four
primary styles also has four secondary styles. Once members understand these
patterns, they have the key to unlock their ability to get along with nearly
anyone.
The Behavioral Style
Assessment Report - Self Assessment
Each
member receives a comprehensive personalized Behavioral Style Assessment Report
once the online Assessment is completed. It is a vital tool for improving
all their personal and business relationships. It includes a description
of behaviors they exhibit most of the time, plus specific strategies for improving
their effectiveness in both business and personal situations. The report
also offers suggestions for others on how they can treat the member more successfully
in both business and personal interactions.

of Contents)
eGraph
In
addition to the Behavioral Style Assessment Report, each member can also view
his or her eGraph results. This is a grid of all the styles. The member’s
self-assessment style is plotted with a red dot and each observer’s assessment
is also plotted. As soon as an observer completes the Assessment on the member,
the result is plotted on the member’s personal eGraph with a color-coded symbol
denoting either a business or personal contact.
The
confidentiality of observers is preserved. The member just sees the colored
symbols, not the observer’s name. That way, each observer feels free to be
as open and honest as possible in his or her assessment of the member.
The
more observers who finish the assessment for a member, the more complete the
results. A complete 360-degree view of one’s behavioral style includes observer
assessments from both the member’s personal and business relationships.

The Observer Composite
Report
After
at least five personal or professional observers have responded, each member
also receives the Observer Composite Report. This report will help interpret
the composite results of the observers. This is an important component to
the total Assessment package because it truly completes the 360-degree perspective
for the member. Members also learn how to identify the behavioral patterns
in others and how to deal with them most effectively.
Isn’t
the Self-Assessment Report accurate? Yes, but only from the point of view
of the member. Quite often, the behaviors that are being measured are more
easily observed by others. We know better than others what our own thoughts
and motives are, however, others may be more accurate observers of our actual
behavior - and it is behavior that we are intending to measure here.
Once
each member has the Observer Composite Report, they will learn two things:
1. Their Behavioral Style through the eyes of others
2. Their degree of self-awareness
They
will know more about their self-awareness because they will be able to compare
their self-assessment with their composite assessments of their observers
(business colleagues or clients, or friends and family), and see how similar
or different they are.
How to Use Behavioral
Styles with Others
At
the core of the Behavioral Style package is The Platinum Rule™… Treat
others the way they want to be treated.
Now
that you are more familiar with your own primary style of behavior and are
aware that there are three other primary styles, you can understand why you
click with some people and not with others. You may begin to understand how
tension builds in a relationship just from a pace or priority difference.
How
to Use the Behavioral Styles with Others will be your guide to learning to
treat people differently… according to their needs, not your needs.
This
section will guide you through identifying another person’s style as well
as provide valuable information to their mode of operation in different environments…
at work, at home, in social settings, etc.
This
section is an awareness tool to help you understand how you are similar and
how you are different from the other styles. Through simple modifications
in behavior, you will see your relationships improve for the better!
THREE KEY SITES TO THE
ENTIRE PROCESS
Administrator Home Page
This
Home Page is a key tool providing flexibility for training options and important
data to track member progress. It is a personalized, private Home Page.
It allows the Administrator to:
·
Pre-purchase
Assessments at a discount:
One Assessment Package includes the online Self-Assessment; the Behavioral
Style Report, an eGraph, an unlimited number of observer assessments for a
30-day period; and the Observer Composite Report, all on a personalized Home
Page for each member.
·
Distribute Assessments to members by simply entering each individual’s first name,
last name, and email address. Click send, and an automatic email goes out.
This is how a member becomes authorized to take the Assessment.
(Click here to see an email sent to
a member)
·
Track the account
status to see how many Assessments have been used, how many are left,
and order more as needed.
·
View the eGraphs
and reports of your members who are authorized to take
the Assessment. This feature also allows you to see which members have completed
the Assessment and send automated reminders to those who have not.
(Click here to see Print Graphs and Reports
page)
·
Permit or block
members from seeing their personalized Behavioral Style Report and
eGraph. Why block it? If you want to present the members with their
reports and eGraphs at the time of the training session, meeting, etc. (so
the members do not get ahead of themselves), you have the ability to do so.
·
Print the collective
results of up to 20 members on a single eGraph with
color codes and a color key to identify each individual member. This is great
when you are working with a group and want to see at a glance where everyone
falls on the graph in relation to each other.
Administrator Assessment
Page
Once
the Administrator distributes Assessments to members authorizing them to take
the Assessment, an email is sent to the members with a link to the Administrator’s
Assessment Page. This allows the member to register and take the 18-question
online Assessment. Once an authorized member takes and submits his or her
Assessment, one credit is deducted from the Administrator’s account.
Member
Home Page
This
is a personalized, private Home Page for each member.
It allows the Member to:
·
Invite observers
to complete the online observer Assessment on the member
·
View observers
invited - This is where the member can view, at a glance, all the observers
he/she invited and can see who has completed the observer assessment and who
has not. For those observers who have not yet completed the assessment for
the member, the member only needs to click on a “send” button, and reminders
are automatically sent to observers.
·
View and print
their comprehensive, personalized Behavioral Style
Assessment Report (if access is permitted).
·
View and print
their personalized eGraph
(if access is permitted).
