IMHS Behavioral Profile Developed by Douglas R. Kelley, PhD, CH, CSL

Please answer the following random statements by placing an “X” next to ONE statement on each row that is MORE true and natural of you generally speaking. Both answers may be true for you but choose the one that is more true of you. There are no wrong answers; "correct" answers are those you answer honestly. Trying to "psych out" the intent of the statement will only serve to distort the results. Your initial reaction is likely your most accurate.

TO PLOT YOUR NATURAL STYLE PROFILE:

1. Individually, add up each A, B, C, and D column above. Write each column’s Raw Score in its respective box.

2. In Segment 1, subtract B from A (A minus B) and write your Final Segment 1 Score in its designated box. In Segment 2, subtract D from C (C minus D) and write your Final Segment 2 Score in its designated box. NOTE: You may end up with a negative number.

3. Circle the number on both “1” sides (left/right) that matches your Final Segment 1 score from the previous page. NOTE: Make sure you circle the appropriate positive or negative numbers.

4. Circle the number on the “2” sides (top/bottom) that matches your Final Segment 2 score from the previous page. NOTE: Make sure you circle the appropriate positive or negative numbers.

5. Please see the example to the right. Draw a straight line between your top and bottom numbers, and also between your right and left numbers. (SEE EXAMPLE).

While it is impossible to categorize human behavior, this profile serves as an indicator or barometer of your dominant behavioral, communication, and thinking style—it is not an in-depth psychological profile. Additionally, how you communicate and behave professionally at work can differ with how you communicate and behave in your personal life. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses, and furthermore, we are each a blend of all styles. It is important to point out that there should be no shame or ill feelings toward yourself regardless of how you scored. In contrast, you should actually feel good that you now know a positive direction in which to go! Therefore, use this profile to help you to hone your effectiveness both personally and professionally.

YOUR DOMINANT STYLE… Note the quadrant in which your “X” lines intersect. This is your dominant style.

BALANCE IS THE KEY… Note the quadrant in which you scored the highest. This is the quadrant with which you feel most comfortable. Whether you scored high or low on the number scale is not as important as the overall balance. The objective is to learn the skills necessary to become balanced in each quadrant. Doing so will allow you to more naturally interact with all four behavioral styles.

The size of your box simply indicates how high you scored in each particular quadrant. The higher your score in a particular quadrant, the more you exhibit those particular tendencies. They can be positive or negative. Analyze the areas that you scored high in and note any negative areas that can be improved upon. Conversely, note any quadrants that you scored low in, and work to enhance the positives of that quadrant.

IF YOU ARE HEAVY IN ONE OR MORE QUADRANTS… Simply work to enhance the positive characteristics of the diagonally opposite quadrant that is weaker. If two or three quadrants are out of balance, work on one quadrant at a time.

IF YOU ARE MOSTLY BALANCED IN ALL QUADRANTS… Work to enhance any specific areas or attributes that need strengthening. Be sure to enhance skills in all four quadrants to remain balanced while you grow.
