HOW YOU "COME ACROSS" TO OTHERS

PERSONAL STYLE INVENTORY

R. Craig Hogan and David W. Champagne

Just as every person has differently shaped feet and toes from every other person, so we

all have differently "shaped" personalities. Just as no person's foot shape is "right" or

''wrong," so no person's personality shape is right or wrong. The purpose of this inventory

is to give you a picture of the shape of your preferences, but that shape, while different

from the shapes of other persons' personalities, has nothing to do with mental health or

mental problems.

The following items are arranged in pairs (a and b), and each member of the pair

represents a preference You may or may not hold. Rate your preference for each item by

giving it a score of 0 to 5 (0 meaning you really feel negative about it or strongly about

the other member of the pair, 5 meaning you strongly prefer it or do not prefer the other

member of the pair). The scores for a and b MUST ADD UP TO 5 (0 and 5, 1 and 4, 2

and 3, etc.). Do not use fractions such as 2 1/2.

1a._____ making decisions after finding out what others think.
