INTRODUCTION
Where Opportunity Meets Talent ®
The TTI Success Insights® Behaviors and Motivators Report was designed to
increase the understanding of an individual's talents. The report provides insight to
two distinct areas: behaviors and motivators. Understanding strengths and
weaknesses in both of these areas will lead to personal and professional
development and a higher level of satisfaction.
The following is an in-depth look at your personal talents in the two main sections:
SECTION 1: BEHAVIORS
This section of the report is designed to help you attain a greater knowledge of
yourself as well as others. The ability to interact effectively with people may be the
difference between success and failure in your work and personal life. Effective
interaction starts with an accurate perception of oneself.
SECTION 2: MOTIVATORS
This section of the report provides information on the why of your actions, which
with application and coaching, can tremendously impact your valuing of life. Once
you know the motivations that drive your actions, you will immediately be able to
understand the causes of conflict.

INTRODUCTION
Behaviors Section
Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand
themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet
the demands of their environment.
This report analyzes behavioral style; that is, a person's manner of doing things. Is the
report 100% true? Yes, no and maybe. We are only measuring behavior. We only report
statements which are true and areas of behavior in which tendencies are shown. Feel
free to delete any statement from the report that may not apply, but only after checking
with friends or colleagues to see if they agree.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Based on Erika's responses, the report has selected general statements to provide a broad understanding of
her work style. These statements identify the basic natural behavior that she brings to the job. That is, if left
on her own, these statements identify HOW SHE WOULD CHOOSE TO DO THE JOB. Use the general
characteristics to gain a better understanding of Erika's natural behavior.
Erika establishes many standards for herself and others. Her NOTES
high ego strength demands that her standards will be met. Many
people see her as a self-starter dedicated to achieving results. Her
sensitivity to errors and mistakes sometimes tempers her
aggressiveness. She may be accused of being "work compulsive"
because of these tendencies. She is a self-starter who likes new
projects and is most comfortable when involved with a wide scope
of activities. Erika is goal-oriented and driven by results. She is the
team member who will try to keep the others on task. She has high
ego strengths and may be viewed by some as egotistical. She can
be incisive, analytical and argumentative at times. She may not
trust others to do her projects, especially if they have displayed an
inability to perform to her standards. At times, she may be reluctant
to delegate certain tasks. Erika prefers an environment with variety
and change. She is at her best when many projects are underway
at once. Her drive for tangible accomplishments is
counterbalanced by an equal drive for correctness.
Erika is a good problem solver and troubleshooter, always
seeking new ways to solve old problems. She refrains from getting
emotionally involved in decision making. This allows her to make
objective decisions. She has the ability to make high-risk decisions,
but sometimes should seek counsel before acting. She finds it
easy to share her opinions on solving work-related problems. Erika
sometimes gets so involved in a project that she tends to take Adapted Style Natural Style

charge. She should realize that at times she needs to think a 100 100

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
She has the unique ability of tackling tough problems and following NOTES
them through to a satisfactory conclusion.
Erika challenges people who volunteer their opinions. Her
creative and active mind may hinder her ability to communicate to
others effectively. She may present the information in a form that
cannot be easily understood by some people. She likes people
who give her options as compared to their opinions. The options
may help her make decisions, and she values her own opinion over
that of others! She may display a lack of empathy for others who
cannot achieve her standards. Erika is skilled at asking informed
questions and extracting information, but for some people she may
need to phrase her questions more tactfully. She could improve her
communication with others by being more flexible and showing a
sincere interest in what they are saying. She likes people who
present their case effectively. When they do, she can then make a
quicker assessment or decision. When communicating with others,
Erika must carefully avoid being excessively critical or pushy. She
tries to get on with the subject, while others may be trying to work
through the details.

TIME WASTERS
3. FIREFIGHTING NOTES

Lack planning
Place unrealistic time requirements on people and tasks
Always looking for problems to solve

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
In this area is a listing of possible limitations without regard to a specific job. Review with Erika and cross
out those limitations that do not apply. Highlight 1 to 3 limitations that are hindering her performance and
develop an action plan to eliminate or reduce this hindrance.
Erika has a tendency to: NOTES
Take on too much, too soon, too fast.
Fail to complete what she starts because of adding more and
more projects.
Be explosive by nature and lack the patience to negotiate.
Set standards for herself and others so high that impossibility of
the situation is common place.
Keep too many balls in the air, and if her support is weak she
will have a tendency to drop some of those balls.
Be impulsive and seek change for change's sake. May change
priorities daily.
Have difficulty finding balance between family and work.
Push and pull rather than motivate in directing
people--motivates as if everyone has the same strengths that
she has.

BEHAVIORAL FACTOR INDICATOR™
Management Version
Classifying management behavior is not an easy undertaking, largely because there
are so many variables on which classifications could be based. The classifications in
this report are purely behavioral. Behavioral measurement can be classified as how a
person will do a job. No consideration has been given to age, experience, training or
values.
Your report will graphically display your behavioral skills in 12 specific factors. Each
factor was carefully selected allowing anyone to be successful if they meet the
behavioral demands of the job.
The Natural graph represents your natural behavior - the behavior you bring to the job.
The Adapted graph measures your response to the environment - the behavior you
think is necessary to succeed at a job. If your Adapted graph is significantly different
from your Natural, you are under pressure to change or "mask" your behavior.
Read and compare your graphs. Look at each factor and the importance of that factor
to the successful performance of your job. Your Adapted graph will identify the factors
you see as important and shows you where you are focusing your energy.
Knowledge of your behavior will allow you to develop strategies to win in any
environment you choose.

THE SUCCESS INSIGHTS ® WHEEL
The Success Insights® Wheel is a powerful tool popularized in Europe. In addition to the
text you have received about your behavioral style, the Wheel adds a visual
representation that allows you to:
View your natural behavioral style (circle).
View your adapted behavioral style (star).
Note the degree you are adapting your behavior.
If you filled out the Work Environment Analysis, view the relationship of your behavior
to your job.
Notice on the next page that your Natural style (circle) and your Adapted style (star) are
plotted on the Wheel. If they are plotted in different boxes, then you are adapting your
behavior. The further the two plotting points are from each other, the more you are
adapting your behavior.
If you are part of a group or team who also took the behavioral assessment, it would be
advantageous to get together, using each person's Wheel, and make a master Wheel that
contains each person's Natural and Adapted style. This allows you to quickly see where
conflict can occur. You will also be able to identify where communication, understanding
and appreciation can be increased.

INTRODUCTION
Motivators Section
Knowledge of an individual's attitudes help to tell us WHY they do things. A review of an
individual's experiences, references, education and training help to tell us WHAT they can do.
Behavioral assessments help to tell us HOW a person behaves and performs in the work
environment. The PIAV report measures the relative prominence of six basic interests or
attitudes (a way of valuing life): Theoretical, Utilitarian, Aesthetic, Social, Individualistic and
Traditional.
Attitudes help to initiate one's behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because
they are not always readily observed. It is the purpose of this report to help illuminate and
amplify some of those motivating factors and to build on the strengths that each person brings to
the work environment.
Based on your choices, this report ranks your relative passion for each of the six attitudes. Your
top two and sometimes three attitudes cause you to move into action. You will feel positive when
talking, listening or doing activities that satisfy your top attitudes.
The feedback you will receive in this section will reflect one of three intensity levels for each of
the six attitudes.
STRONG - positive feelings that you need to satisfy either on or off the job.
SITUATIONAL - where your feelings will range from positive to indifferent based on other
priorities in your life at the time. These attitudes tend to become more important as your top
attitudes are satisfied.
INDIFFERENT - your feelings will be indifferent when related to your 5th or 6th attitude.
YOUR ATTITUDES RANKING
1st SOCIAL Strong
2nd UTILITARIAN Strong
3rd THEORETICAL Situational
4th AESTHETIC Situational
5th INDIVIDUALISTIC Indifferent
6th TRADITIONAL Indifferent

SOCIAL/ALTRUISTIC
Those who score very high in this value have an inherent love of people. The Social/Altruistic person prizes
other people and is, therefore, kind, sympathetic and unselfish. They are likely to find the Theoretical,
Utilitarian and Aesthetic values cold and inhuman. Compared to the Individualistic value, the
Social/Altruistic person regards helping others as the only suitable form for human relationships. Research
into this value indicates that in its purest form, the Social/Altruistic interest is selfless.
