Personal Interests, Attitudes, and Values

What is it that motivates you to take action? What is the source of your desire to become involved in certain activities - or to avoid them? Why do you behave in the manner you do? The answers lie deep within your unique set of personal interests, attitudes and values. These powerful motivating forces within you largely affect how you behave and how others perceive you. Identifying them is important to understanding what makes you effective, satisfied and personally successful.

In 1928 Eduard Spranger wrote a book entitled "Types of Men." He identified six major attitudes or worldviews. These attitudes are a type of window through which we view the world and seek fulfillment in our lives. If we are participating in a discussion, activity or career that is in alignment with our attitudes, we will value the experience. Conversely, if we are in a conversation, activity or career that is in conflict with our dominant attitudes, we will be indifferent or even negative toward the experience, possibly causing stress.

The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Value™ assessment measures responses in each of the six attitudes. The report shows each of the six attitudes compared to a recently validated national average. You are provided with information on the WHY of your actions which, with application, can positively impact your life.

The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values report is a valuable tool for seeing how a potential candidate's values compare to your organizational values, your company philosophy, and your industry.
