Interpersonal Style

Maz seems to be an extraverted character. This suggests he is a people person with a disposition towards occupations where he is working with people or where there are opportunities for social engagement. He is likely to enjoy initiating and developing personal relationships and be socially confident. At times he may be in danger of talking excessively but should know when it is appropriate to restrain himself. In situations that require initiating, developing and maintaining personal contacts he should be totally in his element.

Thinking Style

Bob is likely to be a good diplomat and appreciate the subtle nuances of social settings. He will be careful not to say things that are out of place and as such may be construed by some to be shrewd or socially astute. He is likely to be aware of those around him and monitor their behaviour to ensure it meets his standards and does not offend others. Stephen may also have the ability to play his cards close to his chest and this may come across as being manipulative in some settings and a reluctance to reveal his true feelings in others..

Coping Style

Harry appears to be experiencing very low levels of anxiety. Relatively emotionally resilient and stable in mood, he should have little difficulty in facing challenges in a calm, collected manner.

Generally unruffled by events he is likely to be viewed as being dependable in a crises. He should have sufficient energy to cope with quite demanding situations. He should generally be able to rapidly recharge his depleted energy resources after having faxed demanding work schedules. Highly secure and particularly self assured, he is likely to be cheerful, optimistic and free of regrets and self doubt.

Interview Questions

Harry projects himself as an emotionally stable person who is self assured and secure.

Can you identify any stressful areas in your life?

What sort of things might have upset you in the last fortnight?

When things go wrong, how do you normally react?

Do you feel that others demand your time when you can’t afford to give it?

Interview Questions

Harry projects himself as self-assured and confident with a very high level of self-esteem.

What type of situation makes you feel very uneasy and insecure?

Can you give me an example of something in which you did not do as well as you had hoped?

When things go wrong at work, is it usually because of something you have done or because of something that others have done?

Tell me about a situation where you have found it difficult to cope.
