This explanation will describe each of the quadrants in descending order of your preference.
The thinking style quadrant you most prefer, based upon your responses to the HBDI@ Survey, is the A Quadrant, with a value of 102. Descriptors in this thinking style which you selected are Logical, Analytical and Rational. These descriptors represent a general overview of your mental preferences in day-to-day life. Work Elements you strongly relate to in this quadrant include Analytical, Technical, Problem solving and Financial. These Elements reflect your mental preferences at work. Work references may align completely with general preferences, or they may stem from situations unique to one's working environment. In the forced-choice, Adjective Pairs section of the Survey, 46% of your responses registered in the A Quadrant. For comparison purposes, your A Quadrant Profile Score represents 33% of your total Profile.
By only a slight margin, your Conservative, Controlled and Planning, Administrative and
next most preferred is the B Quadrant, with 95 points. In this thinking style, you selected
Reader as descriptive of you. Work Elements you identified as ones you do well include
Implementation. In Adjective Pairs 33% of your responses registered in the B Quadrant,
compared to 31 % of your overall Profile.
Your next most preferred is the C Quadrant, with 57 points. In this quadrant you selected Intuitive and Reader, with Spiritual representing your 'Key Descriptor' - the one most descriptive of you. Work Elements you identified as ones you do well include Teaching. 8% of your Adjective Pairs responses fell in the C Quadrant, compared to 19% of your Profile.
Your least preferred quadrant, based upon your Survey responses, is the D Quadrant, with a value of 54. In this quadrant you selected lntuitive as characteristic of you. 13% of your Adjective Pairs responses fell in the D Quadrant, compared to 18% of your Profile.
The Adjective Pairs result tells us something about how we react when under pressure. This may or may not be consistent with our general behavior. The distribution of your responses to these questions into the A, B, C and D Quadrants was 11 - 8 - 2 - 3 respectively. This distribution is noticeably different from your profile (as you may have noticed in the percentage
comparisons above). This is neither a good nor bad quality, but it suggests that you may respond quite differently when under pressure than at other times. Some people with this characteristic also find that people see them more like the Adjective Pair distribution than the Profile.
This is a double dominant profile with primaries in the Left mode - Upper Left A and Lower Left B quadrants.
It is the most common profde in the general population, and the most common profile for males. The profile is characterized by a logical, analytical, technical orientation and is effective in rational problem solving from the Upper Left A quadrant. Lower Left B quadrant preferences include planning, organizing, implementing and administrative activities. In this profile, the processing modes of Upper Left A and Lower Left B would clearly be the most preferred; the interpersonal, emotional and spiritual modes of Lower Right C and the holistic, creative and synthesizing modes of Upper Right D would be at the secondary level, yet functional. This
profile is typical of those occupations in technical fields, such as engineering and manufacturing; financial positions, middle managers and, in general, those positions for which left mode processing is clearly most important and where right mode processing is necessary, yet secondary. Work that is considered a "Turn On" would include: accomplishing, analyzing data, making things work, building things, establishing order, and attending to details.
Most comfortable communication approaches may include:
* Brief clear and precise info
* Well articulated ideas presented in a logical format
* Step-by-step unfolding of the topic
* Explanation in writing
But may overlook:
* Eye-tueye contact
* Visuals
* An overview
* The personal touch and informality
The most natural problem solving strategies would include:
* Reengineering
* Factual analysis
* Logic
* A step by-step process
* Timelines
* Organization
But may not consider:
* Interactive brainstorming
* New ideas
* Team processes
* Feelings
To make a decision a person with this profile may ask:
* Do I have all the facts?
* Has all the research been completed?
* Will I be in control?
But may overlook:
* Asking for otheis opinions
* Looking at the overall picture
