This profile is created based on questionnaire conducted by Jobsite.com

My profile type is: Believer

As a Believer you believe the world has almost infinite possibilities. You believe people should be pursuing their passions and not be caught up by what others say they should desire. Your entire life involves continuously having new experiences and learning from them. It is the challenge, the risk, the prospect of what you can achieve that drives you, rather than simply making money. You’re a self-motivated individual driven by your passion and so need a job and environment with loose boundaries and maximum freedom.

SOCIAL

This section of your report reveals your values in a social context:

FAMILY

Some people spend all their time at work and others prefer to put the family first, but you believe that there can, and should, be a balance between work, home and other aspects of your life. You’re a great advocate of equality and within your family you are committed to members being equal. There is an emphasis on joint participation and collaboration on interests and pursuits.

COMMUNITY

You believe that a community works best when people have clear roles and status levels - when everyone knows how they fit in to the community and what their position is. As a good member of the community you don’t want to cause trouble or rock the boat. You know your place and believe most people are part of a stable ‘quiet majority’.

LIFE VIEW

For you, everything works best when people carefully manage their time so as to get the most out of their whole lives. Through this successful management you believe that life has the potential to be truly harmonious. It may be idealistic, but you view the human race as one ‘big family’ and that all people are created equal and are fundamentally caring and decent. Our responsibilities stretch beyond our race however, with the need to take care of the natural world of animals and plants

PERSONAL

This section of your report reveals your values in a personal context:

PERSONAL PREFERENCES

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, there’s just no escaping it. We’re good at some things and in certain situations and not so hot elsewhere. It’s part of being human.

For you, you’re committed to being inclusive and democratic. You are a supporter of human rights and will be participative in activities supporting those rights. This mindset extends to working for the benefit of nature and the world as a whole.

Only in the eyes of our mum do we tend to be perfect. In reality, there are usually a few things we’re not so good at. For you, sometimes you may be susceptible to being influenced by peer pressure and at times may not take things to their ultimate conclusion. Being such a good people-person, you’re also disinclined to work alone, which may restrict or limit you.

LEARNING PREFERENCES

For you, learning tends to be a means to an end - and the end will tend to be success. You have a lot of energy for learning - you are constantly looking for information or ideas that will give you that all important edge. You prefer learning objectives to be set and then to have the opportunity to identify and try out potential solutions. You find yourself drawn towards ’state of the art’ learning methods and learning technologies and will happily accept teaching, monitoring and coaching if it helps you to achieve more.

DECISION MAKING PREFERENCES

You firmly believe that decisions should be made by the appropriate team or group. This will be achieved through discussion where feelings are valued as much as facts. You desire collaborative decisions where reaching consensus is deemed very important. The approach is distinctly democratic.

MOTIVATIONAL PREFERENCES

People tend to be motivated by different things. Your motivation comes from significant and visible improvements in your status and visible, clear performance targets. You like to know how well you’re doing so you prefer it when you get to monitor your own progress. You like the opportunity to show your capabilities to others and you will work within a team context as long as objectives are clear and your personal contributions can be recognised.

WORK

This section of your report reveals your values in a work context:

JOB TYPE

The best job for you is one where your rewards are explicitly linked to your effort and ability. The focus for you is on the job being part of a career path rather than a more day to day job. You’re at your most comfortable in a competitive, demanding environment where the job provides scope for you to solve problems and use your own creativity and talents.

PREFERRED COMMUNICATION STYLE

Good communication is essential for everyone, but different people have different preferences for the way it’s done. For you the freedom to communicate is essential. This is not only with task-related interactions; you relish the scope to explore emotions. You are comfortable with ambiguous and loose language, which may include the use of anecdotes and stories. You’re most comfortable with informality and friendliness in communications, where the focus is more upon communication between ‘equals’ then up and down a hierarchy.

PREFERRED ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

If you’re going to be happy in your job, you need to find a company that suits the way you like to work. You work best in organisations with a formal and recognisable hierarchy. It’s important to you to be told exactly where you fit within that hierarchy, including knowing who you report to and who reports to you. You’re also going to want to know all the procedures and rules that apply to your job.

For the most part, you believe that rewards go to people for delivering to standards and for seniority. For you, by delivering to standards you can demonstrate your worthiness within the organisation. For your comfort and peace of mind, where possible you prefer an organisation that is predictable and risks are low to zero.
