Instructions: Fill out the questionnaire by clicking on the radio buttons. It will give you two numbers at the bottom of the page. Plot these on the graph on the next page to figure out your social style.

Correlations with social styles, interaction styles, and MBTI:
Analytical/thinking - chart-the-course - INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ, ISTP
Driver/sensor - in charge - ENTJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, ESTP
Amiable/feeling - behind-the-scenes - INTP, INFP, ISFJ, ISFP
Expressive/intuitive - get-things-going - ENTP, ENFP, ESFJ, ESFP

Does your social style/interaction style align with your MBTI type?

My results:

Sociability scale - 1.3 (low assertiveness, asking)
This scale represents "the degree to which a person attempts to control situations or the thoughts and actions of others."

Dominance scale - 2.3 (borderline low responsive, controlled)
This scale represents "the readiness with which a person outwardly displays emotions or feelings and develops relationships."

My quadrant:
Analytical/thinking quadrant, somewhat close to the amiable/feeling quadrant.

 

[Dyslexxie]

My results:

Sociability scale - 3.6 High Responsiveness
Dominance scale - 3.6 High Assertiveness

My style: Expressive

The expressive likes the company of other people, though unlike, the amiable this is because they
need to " express " themselves. Amiables complement them very well, unless the expressive
becomes too aggressive and puts them off.
They can be good people to have at a party, because they're enthusiastic, dramatic and
"interesting" people to have around. However, if they don't receive the attention they crave, they
can get upset and even "difficult" to deal with.
In conflict, they become emotional, prone to exaggeration and unpredictable. The best way to
deal with this is to let them calm down. Try not to fuel the fire by saying anything controversial.

Characteristics: People orientated, centre of attention, positive, emotional, talkative, enthusiastic, dramatic.
In conflict: Unpredictable, emotional.
Solutions: Allow them time to gain composure, Ask questions, problem solve.
Basic Need: Recognition

 

[Chrysanthe]

Analytical... by a wide margin.

ANALYTICAL:
Low Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness
Analytical people can appear unsociable, especially to Amiables and Expressives. They may seem
serious and indecisive. This is because they need to look at every conceivable angle before they feel satisfied. A consequence of this is that they are persistent in their questioning and focus on
detail and facts. However, once they have made a decision, they stick with it as they invariably feel that it is infallible.In conflict, they can "whine", become sarcastic and are often negative.

Characteristics:
Serious, mull matters over, Indecisive, persistent, ask lots of questions, attention to detail.
In conflict:
whining, sarcastic, negative
Solution:
Keep to the facts, Don't agree with them, listen attentively
Basic Need:
To be correct

 

[á´…eparted]

Dominance scale - 3.4 High Assertiveness
Sociability scale - 2.7 High Responsiveness

My style: Expressive

 

[prplchknz]

assertive=2.1
responsive=2.9

no clue where they go on the chart somewhere in the middle

 

[/DG/]

assertive=2.1
responsive=2.9

no clue where they go on the chart somewhere in the middle

Basically, it goes like this...

assertive: 1-2.4 = low assertiveness, 2.6-4 = high assertiveness
responsive: 1-2.4 = low responsiveness, 2.6-4 = high responsiveness

Yours is somewhat low assertiveness and somewhat high responsiveness, so you are amiable.

 

[Ghost]

Dominance Scale: 1.73
Sociability Scale: 2.8

AMIABLE:
( High Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness )

The amiable person likes other people's company, though is more of a listener than a talker. Expressive people find them useful, because they are prepared to listen to what they are saying. They are loyal, personable and show patience when dealing with other people.

They may however not be perceived as people " who get things done " because they spend more time developing relationships with others. They are also unlikely to take risks as they need to have the feeling of security.

In difficult situations, they are likely to avoid the situation and lack conviction of their feelings and if pushed likely to make promises that they cannot keep. Drivers often find them frustrating because they want a straight answer and the amiable can find this difficult to deliver.

Characteristics: Loyal, personable, patient, Uncomfortable with risk, Non-Confrontational, Dislike pressure, Enjoy the company of others.
In conflict: Likely to be " passive", lack conviction, avoidance,
Solution: Reassure, Support, Confirm commitment
Basic Need: Security



Not a fan of that description.

 

[OrangeAppled]

Smack dab in the middle. 2.53 or 38/15 on both.

 

[Galena]

Assertiveness: 2.4
Responsiveness: 1.5

Analytical, bordering on Driver. There's no one standout quadrant that I actually relate to when I read about it, though. They all sound like other types.

 

[wolfnara]

Assertiveness - 1.5
Responsiveness - 1.6

It took me a while to get my head around this. Both my scores are low so I think I also got analytical thinking. The description does suit me the most, and amiable (as an Infp the score I should have got?) is relatable too.

I got 2.3/2.3, putting me in the analytical sector. I relate most highly to it, I think, and then to the expressives. I mainly just don't relate to anything about the sensors. If this is to suggest I'm mistyped, I would suggest I'm INTJ.

 

[hjgbujhghg]

assertivness - 1,6
resposnivness - 3,1

Amiable , fits for an INFP

 

[Yama]

I'm kind of a dum dum and reading this chart is hard for me, but I think I read it right (especially considering my scores are simlar to [MENTION=6554]/DG/[/MENTION] 's--go figure, we are probably type twinsies).

Assertiveness: 1.7
Responsiveness: 2.4

So analytical (thinking)

Yeah, you are analytical according to this, but it's worth noting that 2.5 responsiveness is directly between the two. Most people on this forum are going to be amiable or analytical due to introversion.

I will say that I'm a bit disappointed that everyone's results don't seem to follow as close to the correlations as you'd expect.

 

[Coriolis]

assertivness - 2.7
resposnivness - 1.4

Just over the line to Driver

 

[Hawthorne]

assertiveness - 2.0
responsiveness - 2.2

bottom right corner of analytical.

 

[purplesocks]

I'm close to the middle on both.

assertiveness- 2.4
responsiveness- 2.6

I don't get why 'analytical' people need to be weaklings.
I mean if you get low assertiveness and low sociability that makes you analytical?


But if you can actually defend your opinions then that makes you some kind of emotional 'intuitive' who becomes crazy when upset in conflict?

yeah... I don't think so. I'm assertive in conversations because I usually know what I'm talking about. And I know alot about alot of things, so I'm generally confident in my statements. If proven wrong I correct and grow. That doesn't mean I have to be hugging my knees and timidly stating my thoughts or being passive aggressive about it.


I think the '4' classes are just not enough to describe humans.
I mean hell, MBTI has 16 and you would probably get better accuracy in testing if you double or quadrupled it.
