With above average mental ability Mr. Smith “thinks on his feet” and functions to advantage where fast decisions are needed. However, in critical situations he takes the time to look at consequences and investigates data in depth. Intuition, a sort of “sixth sense”, seems to supply him with extra information without conscious reasoning. When new or unexpected conditions arise, he is able to adapt his thinking and meet and deal with changing situations without undue stress.

Mr. Smith does not readily seek outside advice nor does he easily accept outside opinions. But only on rare occasions does he completely close his mind.

Content at the level of Office Manager, Mr. Smith would be satisfied to remain in this position as a reliable long-term employee. In this position, he would set high standards for himself and for his team. With strong will power, he can chart his own course and direct his own progress, unsupervised. With a sharp eye for opportunities he is able to get started without being told. Initiative compels him to get under way on projects, even if he does not particularly like the things he has to do.

Letting his achievements speak for him, Mr. Smith gets along well with little verbal recognition.

He feels confident in situations where he has prior experience but in strange circumstances experiences moments of insecurity. When forced to stay with a project, he is usually able to complete the job. This then increases his confidence in similar situations in the future.

Mr. Smith appears to be self-reliant. In most situations, he takes the initiative and gets things done without having to rely on others for encouragement, advice, or guidance.

Integrity is a keystone of Mr. Smith’s nature. He is honest and straightforward in his dealing with others. He takes commitments seriously and would not stoop to doing anything dishonorable, even if it meant an advantage to him. He could be relied upon to uphold company ethics.

With the ability to lead firmly and wisely, Mr. Smith can assert himself, if necessary. Most often, however, his intuitive sense helps him to avoid confrontations and elicit a spirit of cooperation from subordinates and the members of his team.

With outstanding organizational ability Mr. Smith could manage time, staff, funds and operations for maximum efficiency and synchronize the efforts of the departments under him in a productive manner. With good money sense, he is economically motivated. Achieving a better profit margin or finding new ways of turning a profit for the company would always be on his mind.

Most the time, Mr. Smith is able to make an all-out effort to complete a project and relax afterwards. There are, however, indications that occasionally he suffers from feelings of melancholy. At such times, discouragement lessens his ability to persist and diminishes his flexibility in the face of difficulties. Unless alleviated, this could become a drain on his mental and physical energies.

One of his special strengths is multi-tasking. Mr. Smith can switch from one thing to another with a minimum of stress, but also has the continuity to finish what he starts, after he had to leave it temporarily to handle a more pressing task.

Without doubt, Mr. Smith is a very productive individual. With well-balanced energies, he can perform mentally as well physically. He rarely wastes time or effort and he constantly looks for ways of improving on things. Not bound by preconceived limitations, he favors progress and may be instrumental in implementing more efficient ways of running certain aspects of the company. He probably encourages experimentation and implementing new ideas that make sense.

With good stress tolerance, Mr. Smith is both predictable and dependable. His ability to respond calmly under stress makes him perfect for a high-pressure job.

Mr. Smith seems to feel more at home in the vocational world than in the social one. In social interactions he likes a degree of formality and resents any apparent invasion of his privacy or what he considers his personal sphere. Being more ruled by his head than by his emotions he finds it difficult to be receptive to others and their emotional needs.

Because of his good verbal skills, it is easy for Mr. Smith to keep the channels of communication open between himself, employees, other supervisors, and management. His dialogues or reports will be clear, to the point and meaningful. Likewise, it would be easy for him to represent the interests of the companies to third parties and outside agencies.

Aside from the temporary feelings of discouragement, Mr. Smith is an estimable person and an intelligent one. Intelligent, efficient, hardworking and dependent, he likely would be a loyal asset to your business.

Comments:

Mr. Stark is a dynamic person with strong managerial and leadership abilities. Authority comes easily to him and he is particularly adept at taking charge.

With markedly above average intelligence he works well with complicated assignments and handles complex issues with ease.

Mr. Stark’s effectiveness is greatly enhanced by his versatile thinking patterns. In routine matters he comprehends quickly. He is capable of “thinking on his feet,” which allows him to make rapid decisions, if the situation calls for it. But he will put the brakes on when confronted with new challenges or important issues. Taking little at face value, he prefers to investigate matters for himself and he carefully analyzes his findings. After he has processed all information and scrutinized all data, he moves again rapidly.

Mr. Stark will not necessarily conform to what others expect and he stands ready to challenge outworn ideas if they seem the inferior approach. As an original thinker he, himself, often presents innovative answers to the challenges that confront him or the company.

Mr. Stark sets his goals at a high practical level without taking his feet off the ground. He is a realist who wants to know at all times where he, the organization, and its people are heading.

At this level, he is quite driven to succeed. Willing to forego things he would like to do, he focuses on what is necessary. And he also has the self-discipline to pursue what he sets out to do. He applies himself to the number of opportunities he can create and he takes the initiative to act when suitable circumstances present themselves.

Competitive situations keep him alert and challenge him to do his best. He probably enjoys pitting his wits against an opponent, especially an adversary with a reputation.

Mr. Stark clearly has a better than average self-image. With a feeling of personal strength, he feels confident enough to handle difficulties and solve problem situations. He knows that he is good at what he does and that he can handle tough assignments. He will not shrink when it comes to doing what is expected of him. That is an important component of leadership.

At the same time, Mr. Stark does not feel the need impress others nor does he feel the need for expressed acknowledgement. On the outside, he is quite modest in most things and deplores extravagance and unnecessary display. He acts naturally and unpretentiously. He believes in solid accomplishment rather than momentary show. An endearing trait is his willingness to give credit to others.

Integrity is a keystone of Mr. Stark’ nature. He is honest and straightforward in his dealing with others. He takes commitments seriously and would not stoop to doing anything dishonorable, even if it meant an advantage to him.

Leadership is an inherent part of Mr. Stark’ nature. He feels most satisfied in a position that allows him to influence, dominate, lead and manage. Not afraid of a certain degree of risk, he will attack problems with energy and enthusiasm.

Being task-oriented, his primary goal is getting things done. Most often, his intuitive sense helps him to elicit a spirit of cooperation from subordinates and other members of his team. But if he occasionally makes waves or if there is conflict, he can deal with that too.

With outstanding organizational ability Mr. Stark can manage time, staff, funds and operations for maximum efficiency. With good money sense, he is economically motivated. Achieving a better profit margin or finding new ways of turning a profit for the company is always foremost his mind.

With plenty of self-directive ability, Mr. Stark is motivated from within, not by other people’s expectations and circumstances, unless they happen to coincide with his own.

One of Mr. Stark’ key traits is determination. He can be counted on to finish what he starts. Once he begins a project, he is able to stick with his vision. This is amply supported by will power. Will power helps him to reaffirm his decision to “hold on” until a project is finished.

His interest in a variety of things and his ability to undertake many of them at once give Mr. Stark great versatility. He probably enjoys the variety in activities that this CEO position offers.

Without doubt, he is a very productive individual. With well-balanced energies, he can perform mentally as well physically. He rarely wastes time or effort and he constantly looks for ways of improving on things. Not bound by preconceived limitations, he favors progress and may be instrumental in implementing more efficient ways of running certain aspects of the company. He probably encourages experimentation and implementing new ideas that make sense. When he gets engrossed in a project, he is likely to miss meals and he willingly puts in extra hours if there is an exciting development underway.

Although he is by nature a thrifty person, he probably likes to surround himself with the latest equipment and gadgets designed for the job and he makes good use of them.

Mr. Stark functions well under most circumstances and he can handle everyday demands without excessive strain. He has a natural poise, or equability, that seldom deserts him even in moments of great stress. When facing tense situations he is able to be quite objective and his actions are governed by judgment rather than by feeling. This is positive in a leadership position because he can view a situation from both sides without becoming emotionally committed.

But his rational approach may be sometimes misunderstood by more emotional people, to whom he may appear unconcerned or who would like for him to display a greater level of feeling or empathy.

Mr. Stark gets along with people, but his orientation is more toward productive pursuits. Being with people, personally or socially, is not as much of an incentive, except perhaps with people close to him. However, if his job calls for working with others, or managing the skills of others as part of achieving the work objectives, he is willing to do that.

An able communicator, Mr. Stark shares his thoughts and ideas easily but in personal matters, he is more reticent. He asserts himself unmistakably when opposed, and he usually holds fast to his views. If pressed too far, he has a tendency to argue. It is unlikely that he will back down from a conflict if he feels strongly enough about the matter.

Mr. Stark is remarkably free of fears and the negative forces of his personality are few compared to his productive potential. Occasionally, he will give others a few bad moments because of his stubbornness, but they are few and far between. On the other hand, this trait adds much strength to his character under pressure.

Without question, Mr. Stark possesses the principal attributes demanded for a top-level position. His mental perspicacity, his leaderships potential, and his ethical standards all help to qualify him for success.

Comments:

Jane is laboring under excessive tension, accompanied by uneasiness and apprehension. She is under strain and has been for along time.

Normally Jane thinks in a logical manner but under strain, her mind cannot operate as fully as in times of relaxation. Her thoughts tend to scatter and she has difficulty focusing for longer periods of time. Being often forgetful, she is prone to making errors. The fear of blundering then increases her anxiety.

Jane is reluctant to make decisions. She does not trust herself to be able to make the ones expected of her.

Because of her noticeable tension in unfamiliar undertakings Jane limits her goals to areas where she has had prior successes. But this diminishes independent action or initiative and is generally self-limiting.

Learning to believe wholeheartedly in her abilities seems to be a tall order for Jane. Because she feels uncomfortable under pressure she assumes that she is unable to handle it. She is much more likely to deal with small areas than large, especially when it comes to responsibility and accountability.

What Jane needs more than anything else is a lot of praise and encouragement, particularly from people in authority. Such recognition could then be an incentive for her to tackle more new tasks with confidence.

Jane’s integrity depends upon how secure she feels in a situation or with certain people. At times, she seems to be willing to sacrifice honesty in order to protect her ego. Or she may be evasive about certain facts that would be detrimental to her good image.

Although Jane pays attention to details, she can become frustrated and impatient with them. She makes an effort but the longer she concentrates on them, the more frustrated she grows.

As an employee, Jane does not like to take orders. Any attempt to “push her around” or tell her what to do, will be met with resistance. Unless her supervisors recognize this early on, they may unexpectedly be confronted with her defiance.

Because Jane is by nature manually dexterous, she could skillfully operate a variety of office machines, such as computers, fax machines, the switchboard or other kinds of data processing equipment.

Jane’s pessimistic outlook could interfere with her work effectiveness. She may require more time and attention than most employees in order to keep her spirits up.

Determination is one of Jane’s weaker qualities. If things begin to drag on too long or if there are obstacles, she is likely to lessen her efforts, at least to some degree.

Coping with numerous tasks at the same time would be challenging for Jane. She likes to stick with one project until it is finished before moving on to the next.

Jane has sufficient energy to complete normal workloads but should not be asked for extra efforts more than occasionally.

Jane finds it difficult to generate alternatives for problem solving. Most of the time, she approaches difficulties in a stereotyped way. She tries to maintain existing procedures because (a) they provide a more secure basis in dealing with her chores and (b) it requires less effort to follow established patterns than it does to modify them or adapt to new ones.

Because it is difficult for Jane to organize her time effectively, she would work best in a structured setting that regulates what will be completed on any given day.

Jane rarely starts projects head-on. She may engage in busywork as a prelude to getting ready or she may preoccupy herself with non-urgent matters. Afraid of making a mistake she stalls to have time to figure out the risks.

Self-control is not Jane’s strongest points. She becomes upset over little things and usually the intensity of her reactions is not justified by the matter at hand. She overreacts to minor annoyances that the “normal” person would take in stride.

Jane would find it difficult to maintain congenial relationships with co-workers, clients or supervisors. She is touchy, irritable and defensive, and in many situations, tries to blame others for her problems. Her co-workers may find her a difficult person to work with, and work morale may suffer.

Communication with others is usually poor. Jane does not want to open herself to others because of the insecurity that doing so arouses. It is easier for her to remain silent than to volunteer and suggestions even when she knows they are of value.

Considering all the evidence, at this time, Jane’s chances for being an effective secretary/receptionist appear to be slim.
