I hadn't realised just how important music is -- my first reaction was along the lines of "music was beyond linguistic? Really?" But on second thought -- yeah. Odd quirk time: I associate music with certain tasks done in order. So that while I was at Fresenius, I would hum the same tunes while carrying out full inspections and other tunes while making outdoor rounds and punching the keyreaders, for instance. There was some song I was trying to remember tonight and couldn't, although I know I sing it all the time -- but it seems to be associated with doing the rounds at the hotel, and I couldn't remember it while I was sitting at the desk.

Intrapersonal way beyond interpersonal ... no surprise there. If not for this thing I have for the entire process of using words, I'd close off completely and be quite happy in my own head and my own skin. Visual/Spatial surprised me. (I'd have scored it lower.) All in all, though... interesting.

FUNCTIONS
Legislative 4.9 Low Middle
Executive 4.2 Low Middle
Judicial 3.2 Very Low

Legislative Style
Legislative people like to do things their own way. They like creating, formulating, and having things. In general, they tend to be people who like to make their own rules.
Legislative people enjoy doing things the way they do them. They prefer problems that are not prestructured for them, but rather that they can structure for themselves.
Legislative people also prefer creative and constructive planning-based activities, such as writing papers, design projects, and creating new business or educational systems.

Executive Style
People with the executive style are implementers: they like to do, and generally prefer to be giving guidance as to what to do or how to do what needs to be done. Executive people also like to enforce rules and laws (their own or others').
Executive people prefer problems that are given to them or structured for them and like to do and take pride in the doers - in getting things done. Executive people tend to gravitate toward occupations that are quite different from those to which legislative people are attracted.
Executive people will tend to the valued by organizations that want people to do things in a way that appears to a set of rules or guidelines.

... I'm guessing that this adequately explains the variety of jobs I've held. *chuckle.* Both tendencies are almost equally strong.

FORMS
Monarchic 4.0 High Middle
Hierarchic 5.1 Low Middle
Oligarchic 3.1 Low Middle
Anarchic 3.1 Very Low

Monarchic Style
People who are predominantly monarchic style tend to be motivated by a single goal or need at a time. Monarchic people also tend to be single-minded and driven by whatever they are single-minded about. They have a tendency to see things in terms of their issues.
Monarchic people often attempt to solve problems, full speed ahead, damn the obstacles. They can be too decisive.

.. no argument there. I often make further messes by getting tired of something being out of order and breaking it further by pushing it instead of letting things lie.


Hierarchic Style
People with a hierarchic style tend to be motivated by a hierarchy of goals, with the recognition that not all of the goals can be fulfilled equally well and that some goals are more important than others. They thus tend to be priority setters who allocate carefully. They tend to be systematic and organized in their solutions to problems and in their decision making.

Oligarchic Style
In oligarchy, several individuals share power. Individuals with the oligarchic style tend to be motivated by several, often competitive goals of equal perceived importance. They have trouble deciding which goals to give priority to. The result is that they may have trouble allocating resources.

LEVELS
Global 3.8 Low Middle
Local 3.2 Low

Global people prefer to deal with relatively larger and often abstract issues. They tend to focus on the forest, sometimes at the expense of the trees. Their constant challenge is to stay grounded and not to get lost on cloud nine.

Local people prefer to deal with details, sometimes minute ones, and often ones surrounding concrete issues. They tend to focus on the trees, sometimes at the expense of the forest. Their constant challenge is to see the whole forest, and not just its individual elements.

so I guess it's a good sign that I didn't score high in either of them?

SCOPE
Internal 5.9 High
External 3.4 Low

Internal Style-External Style
People with an internal style tend to be motivated, task-oriented, sometimes aloof, and socially less sensitive than other people. At times they also lack interpersonal awareness, if only because they do not focus on it.

People with an external style, in contrast, tend to be more extroverted, people-oriented, outgoing, socially more sensitive, and interpersonally more aware.

no surprises there...

LEANINGS
Liberal 3.2 Very Low
Conservative 4.0 High Middle

Individuals with a liberal style like to go beyond existing rules and procedures and seek to maximize change. They also seek or are at least comfortable with ambiguous situations, and prefer some degree of unfamiliarity in life and work.

Individuals with a conservative style like to adhere to existing rules and procedures, minimize change, avoid ambiguous situations where possible, and prefer familiarity in life and work.

... I'm not surprised at this, either. I do best on familiar ground, if only because that frees up my resources for effecting change where I want it.

Inventory here.

Hrm.

Global thinking in interpersonal relationships really seems to come across as a curse?

... wonder what Ms. Biedenharn would say if she knew I still remember. :)
