The graph above shows your Team Roles in order of preference. Some people have an even spread of Team Roles whilst others may have one or two very high and very low Team Roles. An individual does not necessarily show all nine Team Role behaviours.
This graph is a combination of your views and those of your Observers. When we combine all the information together, we take account of how closely your perception of yourself agrees with others' views of you. Many factors are taken into account when deriving your final Team Role composition.

Analysis of your Team Role Composition
SPI completed on 13-Apr-2021 © BELBIN 2011 Page 4 Report printed on 14-Apr-2021
This report provides an overview of Team Roles as seen by yourself and others, in order from most prominent (column 1) to least (column 9). Your overall Team Role composition is not simply an average of each individual line, but a weighted integration of your perceptions and your Observers' views, which takes many factors into account.
This report is based on your Self-Perception plus 4 Observer Assessments.

Your observers reached quite different conclusions to your own in terms of Team Role preferences. There will inevitably be some compromise, but if you feel strongly that you have strengths which have not yet been uncovered, it is up to you to declare your preferences in these areas. Alternatively, you may want to focus on cultivating those Team Role strengths which others see in you.
This comment looks at the consistency between the Observers' Overall Views and your Self-Perception. It does not take into account the level of agreement between the Observers themselves.

Team Role Feedback
SPI completed on 13-Apr-2021 © BELBIN 2011 Page 7 Report printed on 14-Apr-2021
This report offers guidance and advice on the best way to manage your behaviour at work and make the most of your Team Role contributions. The applicability of the advice may vary depending on the stage of your career and your current working situation.
This report is based on your Self-Perception plus 4 Observer Assessments.
Your reputation is likely to depend primarily on the standard you have reached in your professional skill. Others are likely to identify the pride you take in your work and the attention you give to quality and accuracy. As such, you may be expected to do a more thorough job even if the focus leads away from the area in which your expertise is generally recognised. That expectation is something on which you should aim to build. The more you can broaden your role in this way, the less the danger of your contribution being perceived as limited to one field.
Your personal strategy should be to persuade others that high standards are important at all levels. Take a detailed interest in what others are doing. This will likely be much appreciated, since few have much opportunity to discuss with anyone the intricate nature of the jobs on which they are engaged. Furthermore, it will help to establish the point that professional standards matter.
As far as your own work is concerned, you may feel threatened by outsiders who try to enter your field. There is some risk that you will take a defensive and over-protective standpoint. Be aware that others may fail to share your enthusiasm for your subject. You may be tempted to supply more facts and information than others wish to receive. Exercise caution and ensure that you are presenting as much information as required, not as much as you would like to offer.
In terms of working relationships, you are likely to work best for a low-profile manager with whom you can discuss things in a calm and relaxed fashion. You may have problems with someone who pressurises you and looks for quick results. Seek colleagues who are practical and well-organised, but who do not intrude into your own work area. With those you manage, look for a good apprentice who can benefit from your experience.
Your operating style is one of dedication and refinement in the line of work that has gained your commitment.
You also show potential for generating the drive and dynamism which can motivate others in your team. Make efforts to be honest and forthright without causing offence. If you can boost energy levels without decreasing morale, others will come to value your abilities to realise goals and meet deadlines.
On a final note, you need to take account of the role for which you are least suited. You do not appear to have the characteristics of someone who develops and can exploit useful contacts outside the organisation. If you can work in harmony with someone who has these complementary qualities, your own performance is likely to improve.

Maximizing your Potential
SPI completed on 13-Apr-2021 © BELBIN 2011 Page 8 Report printed on 14-Apr-2021
This report highlights your Team Role strengths and possible weaknesses, based on your views and those of your Observers, if applicable. The section, 'Understanding your Contribution', provides analysis of your responses to your Self-Perception to enable you to work more effectively.
This report is based on your Self-Perception plus 4 Observer Assessments.
Strengths
You are likely to:
o have an eye for detail and be able to undertake careful, sustained work. It is important to promote this strength so that others can recognise it more fully.
Possible Weaknesses
You may:
o have a balanced outlook, but have difficulty in finding a perfect role fit owing to a lack of definitive Team Role preferences.
Understanding your Contribution (based on your self-perception)
Looking at the results solely from your self-perception (not taking any observer views into account), you have highlighted two possible contributions you can make. Below is some advice on how to play to your strengths further in these areas:
To play your Implementer role to better effect, share your affinity for structure and method in your work habits with your colleagues. Where processes provide the best approach to work, be instrumental in establishing and upholding these systems.
To play your Teamworker role to better effect, be sensitive to the circumstances of individual team members – especially where personal difficulties and conflicts could arise – and be ready to offer your support when required.

Glossary of Terms
Self-Perception Inventory (SPI) The Self-Perception Inventory is the questionnaire an individual completes to ascertain his or her Team Roles. The questionnaire consists of eight sections, with each section containing ten items. The individual is asked to allocate ten marks per section to those statements which best reflect his or her working styles.
Observer Assessment (OA) The Observer Assessment is the questionnaire completed by people who know the Self-Perception candidate well. We recommend that observers are chosen from among those who have worked with the individual closely and recently and within the same context (e.g. within the same team), since Team Role behaviours can change over time and in different situations, offering advice on managing this.
Team Role Strength These are the positive characteristics or behaviours associated with a particular Team Role.
Team Role Weakness This is the flipside of a strength: negative behaviour which can be displayed as the result of a particular Team Role contribution. If someone is playing a particular Team Role well and their strengths outweigh their weaknesses in the role, it is called an “Allowable weakness”. Weaknesses become ‐“non allowable” if taken to extreme or if the associated Team Role strength is not displayed.
Percentiles A percentile is a way of measuring your position in relation to others (the rest of the population). If a group of people take a test and receive scores, these can be distributed from highest to lowest and an individual’s score can be judged in relation to the scores of others. If a person’s score is in the 80th percentile, this indicates that 20% of people have scored more highly for this measure.
Percentages Percentages represent a proportion of the whole. If you take an aptitude test and score 70 marks out of a possible 100, your score is 70%.
Strong example of a Team Role A strong example is someone who appears to play a particular Team Role to especially good effect. To qualify as a strong example of a particular Team Role, someone needs to be in the 80th percentile for that Team Role according to their Self-Perception. Once observer assessments are added, their feedback is also taken into account to determine whether or not someone qualifies as a strong example.
Points Dropped Some items in the Self-Perception Inventory pertain to claims about oneself rather than a valid Team Role contribution. If you have made more claims than 90% of the population, your Team Role feedback will take this into consideration.
