YOUR JOB SEARCH

The following statements are generated from your Component Usual, Component Need and Component
Stress scores. Carefully read each statement and check the ones that are most significant to you.
Remember, a statement appears because it may be significant for you, not because it is significant.
Only you can decide which statements are most relevant to you.
SECTION 1: Approaching your job search
Use your broad network of friends to make further contacts with people who may be able to
help you
Ideally, find a job that allows you to be competitive and to be paid on results
You will feel you are achieving most if you pursue several different lines of inquiry at the
same time
SECTION 2: When the job search becomes stressful
Sometimes it can be hard for you to follow the plans you made for your job search
You have a tendency to focus too much on what the job pays and not enough on things like
work conditions
When the job search gets hard, you can simply run out of steam
It can be easy for you to start to see the very worst side of your situation and to feel very
low
You can find it hard to sit still and concentrate on what you committed to do, because it is
easier to keep trying something new
SECTION 3: Finding and developing a support group and/or process
Have a firm plan to follow in your job search
Don't be afraid to avail yourself of resources which can give you a competitive edge in the
job marketplace
Place a demanding schedule upon yourself and follow it until you're tired out. Exercise
frequently

statement and check the ones that are most significant to you. Remember, a statement appears

statements are most relevant to you.
Make it obvious that the topic has been thought through. Approach the issue with you point

debate

will benefit personally

HOW YOU HANDLE OTHER PEOPLE

The following statements are generated from your Component Usual and Component Stress scores.
Carefully read each statement and check the ones that are most significant to you. Remember, a
statement appears because it may be significant for you, not because it is significant. Only you can
decide which statements are most relevant for you.
SECTION 1: When you are at your best
Relate well to people socially, and enjoy dealing with others in larger groups
Tend to exercise authority naturally -- generally give direct orders as much as you may seek
a consensus from others
Are naturally competitive; like to win, and prefer to encourage others using individualized
incentives
Like to have plenty of variety in your routine; likely to expect others to be able to handle
more than one issue at once
SECTION 2: Your less effective approach
May downplay the need for a structured approach, ignore necessary detail, or fail to give
others sufficient structured guidance
Can become more domineering than you realize; may take others' silence for consent, when
in fact they are intimidated
Can become over-competitive, to the extent that the need to win can be more important
than a solution that benefits all
Can lose energy, particularly in the face of demanding or grueling tasks; inclined to
substitute further thinking for direct action
Sometimes inclined to magnify issues because of your own level of emotionality; can find
yourself handicapped by your negative feelings
Can sometimes be too inclined to deal with too many issues at once, or to focus unduly on
secondary matters whose relevance is doubtful
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
ORGANIZATIONAL FIT
The following statements are generated from your Work Styles scores. Carefully read each statement
and check the ones that are most significant to you. Remember, a statement appears because it may be
significant for you, not because it is significant. Only you can decide which statements are most
relevant to you.
While able to relate to the typical larger corporate structure, you can feel comfortable to
some extent in smaller, less centralized entities
You respond well to formal training in management techniques
You tend to be motivated primarily by the inherent interest you have in work or in its results,
rather than by work for its own sake
You are something of a free spirit; you may be less predictable than other people in terms
of your response to the corporate "line" and more inclined to follow your own way of
thinking
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
SOME BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

The following statements are generated from your Birkman Map scores. Carefully read each statement
and check the ones that are most significant to you. Remember, a statement appears because it may be
significant for you, not because it is significant. Only you can decide which statements are most
relevant for you.
You are interested in areas which combine creativity with influencing people directly. You
may therefore be drawn to the "selling" of ideas, either in sales, marketing, or teaching and
training others
You combine insight into the thinking of other individuals with a certain degree of authority.
Personal interaction with others, socially or one-on-one, is characteristic of your usual
behavior, with an emphasis on your own feelings and the feelings of other people
You feel most at ease in an environment which offers emotional support when necessary,
and where individual initiative is considered more valuable than merely following rules and
procedures
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
YOUR POSSIBLE CHALLENGES

The following statements are generated from your Component Stress scores. Carefully read each
statements are most relevant for you.
Tend to undervalue following a planned approach
Become domineering, even aggressive
Too tempted by short-term payoffs and by winning at any price
Lose energy, are tempted to find the easy way out
Can see the worst possibilities, tend toward negative feelings
Find it hard to concentrate, are too easily distracted
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
UNDERSTANDING THE COMPONENTS

The following statements are generated from your Birkman Components scores. Carefully read each
SECTION A: Components: Usual: Comments
Friendly, meet people easily, probably at ease in meetings and group settings. Can
therefore find it difficult to relate to less sociable people
Social Energy Usual H
Naturally authoritative, seek active debate and discussion, like to direct and exercise
authority. This generally effective style can sometimes be overpowering for those who
prefer low-key direction
Assertiveness Usual H
Significantly more competitive than most other people (average score is about 20). May be
self-promotional, like to win, strive to be the "best" in terms of earnings or material rewards.
Know what other people want to hear, and try where possible to let them hear that. It can be
a very effective style, but it's unusual enough that some people can feel that you are too
"pushy"
Incentives Usual H
More change-oriented than most people (average score is about 30). Like to work on
several issues simultaneously, and able to move between them with ease. Enjoy
introducing change and novelty into your own routine and the routine of others, and can
therefore sometimes be seen as lacking focus
Restlessness Usual H
SECTION B: Components: Need: Comments
Need to feel that you are working in a structured and organized environment, where most
tasks are to be performed according to some existing plan or precedent
Insistence Need H
Need to feel that someone is "in command" -- either you or some other authority figure. Can
feel uneasy in the presence of an authority vacuum or in situations where no one person
appears to be in charge
Assertiveness Need H
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
Stimulated by a competitive environment that directly rewards individual success; less at

home where team members are supposed to work together for general benefit
Incentives Need H
Motivated by a demanding schedule and having plenty to do. Perform best when you are
given plenty of work; likely to be less effective if you are too lightly scheduled
Physical Energy Need H
Most comfortable when given appropriate opportunities to talk about how you feel. Need to
feel that your environment offers emotional support
Emotional Energy Need H
Are stimulated by being in an environment that offers change and novelty, plenty of
different kinds of tasks to perform, and the opportunity to move from task to task if you
wish to do so
Restlessness Need H
SECTION C: Components: Stress: Comments
Can become disorganized; may move from one short-term approach to another without
much semblance of any plan being evident
Insistence Stress L
Can become domineering and may appear threatening to less authoritarian people; too
tempted to take over if you believe there is lack of necessary leadership
Assertiveness Stress H
Can become too willing to win at any price; may appear over-calculating or money-focused;
can be unaware of the extent to which this overt competitiveness can alienate others
Incentives Stress H
Can lose energy and begin to defer actions which must be taken now; sometimes too
inclined to reflection when the schedule requires an immediate response
Physical Energy Stress L
Prone to become over-emotional when under pressure; magnify difficulties; find it hard to
distinguish between facts and the way you feel about those facts
Emotional Energy Stress H
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
May become easily distracted; can find concentration hard; inclined to drop one task and
pick up another on the basis of seeking diversion rather than dealing with the task at hand
Restlessness Stress H
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
HOW YOU SEEK TO INFLUENCE OTHERS

The following statements are generated from your Component Usual scores (effective approach) and
Component Stress scores (less effective approach). Carefully read each statement and check the ones
that are most significant to you. Remember, a statement appears because it may be significant for you,
not because it is significant. Only you can decide which statements are most relevant for you.
Effective approach
Understand and enlist the power of group dynamics; understand that you can be more
effective if you can influence popular opinion
Use your natural authority to command the attention and agreement of others
Like to appeal to others' competitive natures by emphasizing individual as well as team

benefits that may result from people's acceptance of your ideas
Like to emphasize a variety of approaches to and benefits of the idea you are promoting
Less effective approach
When your attempts to influence others run into problems, you can be too inclined to
abandon a structured presentation of your ideas in favor of poorly thought-out
improvisation
Can see disagreement as a challenge to your authority: can become domineering, seeing
criticism as a threat to your "turf" or personal authority
Can be seen by others as more interested in establishing a competitive environment than a

team atmosphere
Can lose energy in the face of opposition: may be inclined to withdraw and "think the
matter over" rather than press for action from others
May worry too much, without realizing that these emotional reservations can color others'
thinking as well as your own
Can let your attention wander; inclined to follow others' focus on side issues, to the
detriment of the main idea

RELATIONAL DISRUPTERS
The following statements are generated from your Component Usual and Component Need scores.
decide which statements are most relevant to you.
SECTION A: How you may upset others without intending to do so
You are friendly and work well with larger groups, and this may cause you to overlook the
fact that some co-workers may respond better if you approach them individually or in
smaller groups
You are a natural authority figure, and you can appear more domineering or threatening to
quieter co-workers than you may realize
You have a natural competitiveness, and this can disturb those co-workers who think more
in terms of general rather than individualized rewards
You are able to multitask fairly easily, and some co-workers may need more time to focus
their attentions than you realize
SECTION B: How others may unintentionally annoy you
When co-workers fail to follow the rules or observe precedent, you can become annoyed
You can think that co-workers who prefer to use guidance rather than commands or orders
are ineffective at directing others

get the job done"
Your feelings can be hurt more easily than many co-workers realize
Tasks you are given which require constant, unremitting focus can make you feel bored or
impatient
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
RELATIONAL DISRUPTERS
SECTION C: Avoiding "derailers" and becoming more effective
Some people just don't need the detail or the security of precedent that you do. Unless
discussion of more detailed matters is vital, let it go for now
Rein yourself in over authority issues. Learn daily which situations can benefit from asking,
"What do the rest of you think?" Learn to be patient with those who find it hard to speak up
Channel your underlying competitiveness appropriately. Be clear in your own mind which
projects benefit from co-workers thinking competitively and which projects really require a
team effort
Ask yourself, "Can these co-workers manage without my looking over their shoulders?" If
the answer is yes, leave them alone. If that is difficult, take a brisk walk and work off any
excess energy
Talk out your feelings with a person you can trust. When co-workers do something that
triggers an emotional response in you, tell the person you trust instead of allowing your
emotions to run away with you. Learn to do this routinely
Let your co-workers focus on the task at hand where possible. Don't interrupt them
unnecessarily, even though you may be tempted to do so
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
HANDLING CONFLICT
Only you can decide which statements are most relevant for you.
SECTION A: Your effective approach to handling conflict
Generally prefer that conflict issues be handled openly in meetings
A naturally authoritative person, you find it easy to direct conflict situations, even if other
people try to dominate
Understand that people are often in conflict because each one of them wants to win, and
so look for solutions that can preserve that competitive element between them
You believe that it's often the secondary issues that cause conflict, and you like to
investigate those
SECTION B: Your less effective approach
If you are involved in some formal conflict management process, you can be tempted to
abandon it and try a less organized approach
Can become domineering, dealing with others by attempting to dominate rather than
engage constructively with other people
Conflict can become an opportunity for you to win, perhaps at the expense of others
Particularly in the face of ongoing conflict, you can begin to lose energy or over-think the
issue
Your feelings, particularly negative feelings, can impede your ability to deal effectively with
conflict
Secondary or less relevant issues can start to assume a disproportionately large

importance
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
HANDLING CONFLICT
SECTION C: Increasing your effectiveness
Have a structured plan for dealing with the conflict, even though you may not need to use it
Make sure you know who is "in charge"
Engage your competitiveness, to the extent that this can be useful in dealing with the
conflict issue at hand
If you sense your impatience for action rising, take a brisk walk or some other physical
exercise and then go back to the problem
Find someone who is not directly involved and tell that person about your feelings,
particularly the negative ones
When your attention wanders, try to work on something else for a while
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS

term goals, and by talking with them directly about these matters
Understand and capitalize on the advantages of addressing issues of accountability with

larger groups of people
Not afraid to use your natural authority when seeking accountability in others
Believe that, while some people can be trusted to take responsibility, others may need to be
reminded of their obligations or they may be tempted to avoid them
SECTION B: How others can encourage your accountability
Others should help you understand exactly what is required of you
It's usually all right to be fairly forceful with you -- you respect natural authority figures
Point out to you that you are likely to benefit personally from meeting your responsibilities
where this is the case
Draw your attention to the actions that need to be taken as much as to the responsibilities
which are to be assumed
Listen carefully for hints that your emotions are involved in your determination of your
responsibilities, particularly if these feelings are negative. You should be encouraged to talk
about them
SECTION C: When things go wrong
Can overlook details and become disorganized, particularly under pressure
May become domineering or provocative when discussing accountability issues
BIRKMAN INSIGHTS
ACCOUNTABILITY
When under stress, may be too inclined to take a "what's in it for me" attitude
When you are feeling pressure, there can be a temptation to put things off instead of taking
vigorous action
Can worry about your responsibilities, sometimes to the extent that these concerns inhibit
any action
