My Personal Profile

Worldprism Profiler (http://www.countrynavigator.com) analyzed my cultural and professional profile. This diagnostic tool identified my strengths and weaknesses in reasoning, decision-making, and workplace communication. 

1. Relating. How I relate to others

1.1. Task-oriented
'Let's get down to business' rules apply impersonally before a relationship is formed. Things get done when the right plans and processes are in place. I usually believe that business should be transactional. To avoid wasting time, I strive to establish essential relationships promptly. A legal contract is a firm agreement that remains unchanged even if circumstances change, and I base my trust on consistency. I derive satisfaction from accomplishing goals, getting things done, and meeting challenges.

1.2. Implicit
Meaning is often inferred from what is said and what is not. Body language is essential. I am always polite and considerate in my communication with others. I often pick up signals from nonverbal behavior and context to interpret the message. I will imply meanings in the same way and usually avoid speaking directly about what is on my mind, considering such behavior to be coarse. Written communication will be formal.

1.3. Individual-Group
I rely on my efforts and resources most of the time. I believe that individuals should take responsibility for their mistakes but also receive personal praise and rewards when their constructive efforts benefit the group or team. When problem-solving, I weigh the consequences of allowing extra time to gain consensus against the need for decisive, individual action.

2. Regulating. How I make decisions

2.1. Risk-Taking
I approach decisions steadily, slowly, but surely. I avoid unnecessary change. I continually strive for consistent approaches that yield predictable results. I value what I have and would always stay with what I know rather than gamble on an unpredictable future. I welcome a high level of regulation that gives me security. I consistently plan ahead to ensure a predictable outcome. Higher authority levels have proven to be reliable and dependable, and I firmly believe in them. I value tradition and always try to learn from others' experiences.

2.2. Loose
I am adaptable and willing to adjust to changing circumstances. Things will happen in their time. I am often flexible in how I allocate time, allowing events and relationships to unfold naturally. I value people more than the task. Interruptions do not present a problem. I am excellent at "multitasking" and consider it rational to handle several tasks simultaneously. It does not bother me if people arrive after the appointed meeting time, as long as they have a valid reason.

2.3. Concentrated
I focus power and authority on specific individuals within the group. I believe that having a transparent chain of command is the most efficient way to govern. I feel very secure in knowing that, with strong leadership, the 'ship' will move in the right direction.

3. Reasoning. How I think

3.1. Linear
I approach problems analytically, following a step-by-step process to arrive at a solution. I explore and integrate perspectives in a relatively structured way. In problem-solving, I prefer a direct line of reasoning, moving step by step to reach my target quickly and efficiently. I often immediately identify what I must do and push for rapid implementation. While I recognize messy problems, I excel at cutting unnecessary information and breaking complex issues into manageable pieces.

3.2. Facts
I emphasize data and concrete experiences. I can win an argument by presenting factual evidence. I plan my projects with measurable outcomes. I am skilled at gathering the appropriate evidence and interpreting it correctly. I prefer to work from the concrete to the general.

3.3. Simple
I focus on essential basics and avoid unnecessary details. I strive to deliver results efficiently and straightforwardly whenever possible. I break down complex issues into manageable components while considering context and supporting data. When needed, I can examine a problem thoroughly and present ideas and considerations from multiple perspectives.
