Personal Style Inventory Third Edition Personality style is an integral part of many training sessions. HRDQ’s Personal Style Inventory (PSI) makes identifying and understanding personal style easy. Based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types, the PSI has helped thousands of people answer the question, “Why do I act the way I do?” What sets the PSI apart? Other Jungian instruments assess respondents’ behavior, which can be affected by external factors such as work environment. The PSI captures behavioral preferences, which we believe more accurately measures a respondent’s personality strengths and weaknesses. Learning Outcomes Identify preference for 1 of 16 personality styles Explore the potential strengths and weaknesses of each personality style Understand how each style is likely to affect other individuals and/or group members Discover how to capitalize on strengths of others Theory The PSI is based on Carl Jung’s theory of personality types. Jung found recognizable and repeated patterns in behaviors linked to our conscious perceiving of the world, our decision making about the world, our attitudes toward life, and our relationship to the expectations of the world. These patterns, for almost all of the people Jung observed or read about, fell into 1 of several pairs of reactions. We all engage in all of these behaviors, but almost always engage in only 1 of each pair with any facility. The pairs of reactions — or personal style preferences — include: Extraversion or Introversion Sensing or Intuiting Thinking or Feeling Perceiving or Judging The PSI vs. the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Both the PSI and the MBTI use Jungian theory to measure personality style. However, each instrument asks the individual to assume a different frame of reference. The MBTI attempts to measure how people usually behave. The PSI measures how people would prefer to behave. We believe this unveils a style closer to the true nature of the individual’s personality style. How It Works Individuals respond to a series of 32 statements, each describing a behavior associated with 1 of the 4 pairs of personal style preferences. The result is a personality style preference profile that is abbreviated by a combination of four letters (i.e., ISTP = Introverted/Sensing/Thinking/Perceiving). A powerful tool for both individuals and teams, the PSI also includes a chart for recording team member personality types, questions for team discussion, and detailed instructions for developing a team profile and conducting a complete workshop. Uses for the PSI The PSI is effective when used as a stand-alone learning instrument or as part of a more comprehensive training program. It’s the perfect start to a style-awareness training program or to programs for: Personal Style Communication Diversity Team Building For a complete training experience and maximum impact, team PSI with Exploring Personal Styles (EPS), a compelling collection of activities based on the Personal Style Inventory.
