PRE-ASSESSMENT SKILLS

Before using an assessment, you should know:
   • Assessment results represent preferences, not absolutes.
   • There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, one style is not better than another.
   • Most people have strength in more than one dimension or preference.
   • Results should be used to inspire understanding rather than to lock you into a particular “label.”
   • The environment or circumstances under which you take an assessment may influence the results.
