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 rarely speak 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 with a steady, slow, but sure approach. 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 allocating time to allow events and relationships to unfold naturally. I consider people much more important 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, provided 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 focus on exploring and integrating perspectives in a relatively structured way. In problem-solving, I prefer a direct line of reasoning, moving toward a step-by-step process to reach my target quickly and efficiently. I often immediately identify what I must do and push for rapid implementation. While recognizing messy problems, I excel at reducing unnecessary information and breaking down 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 to structure my projects so that they have 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 in a time-efficient and straightforward manner whenever possible. I am prepared to break down complex issues into manageable components while also considering the impact of context and supporting data. If necessary, I can thoroughly examine a problem and present my ideas and considerations from multiple perspectives.
