Core Traits (Strengths)

Trait Trait description

Cautiousness High scorers on this scale are attentive to danger or negative outcomes. They tend to make decisions carefully and
think through the consequences of their actions. Others may perceive them as restrained and guarded.

Self efficacy Self-efficacy describes how confident a person is in their ability to accomplish a specific task such as learning
something new, dealing with challenges or persisting. Determining the beliefs a person holds regarding his or her
power to affect situations, self-efficacy strongly influences both the power a person has to face challenges
competently and the choices a person is most likely to make. Self-efficacy varies from area to area, and high self-
efficacy in one area may not coincide with high self-efficacy in another.

Emotionality Emotions are strong feelings deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. People who
score highly on this scale use their feelings as an important factor in how they relate to others and in how they
make decisions. High scorers tend to experience their feelings clearly.

Spontaneity High scorers on this scale challenge boundaries and restrictions. They are not held back by the fears and worries
that might limit others. They enjoy risk and are eager to try new activities for the pleasure of the experience.

Action orientation Action-oriented individuals derive satisfaction from doing things. They are self-starters. When confronted with a
problem, they are likely to search for a practical solution that allows them to take immediate action.

Imagination Imagination is the ability to think of new things, and to form a mental image of something that is not present to the
senses or not wholly perceived in reality. It is something that exists or happens in our minds. Imaginative people are
playful, have a wealth of ideas, and use their creativity as a way of creating a richer, more interesting world.

Organizer Finisher Connector Idea generator Maker Moderator Collaborator Evaluator

Organizer- First preference Finisher - Second preference

Organizers have the ability to foresee and map how
ideas and plans will workout in practice. Organizers
take pride in:
designing rules, plans and procedures for
implementation
organizing people to work effectively together
focus on developing a thorough and systematic
approach to help the team achieve tangible goals
Organizers are grounded and can influence others to be
pragmatic and focused. If Ahmed takes on an
organizing role in your team, be mindful to make sure
they see the bigger picture so they do not become too
inflexible and bound by rules.
The Finisher pays a high level of attention to detail.
While a focus on small items might be irritating at the
start of a project, the orderly approach to work that the
Finisher brings becomes increasingly important as the
work progresses. The Finisher:
is able to accomplish tasks well and on time
communicate the importance of meeting deadlines
identify even the smallest of mistakes as the team
strives to meet high standards.
The Finisher spreads discipline, conscientiousness and
persistence to other members in their quest for
perfection. If Ahmed takes on the role of the Finisher, it
is important to watch out for overly pedantic behaviour
as they can easily get lost in detail. In a team, this could
lower morale as he is perceived as being overly critical
of the quality of other members contribution or efforts.
