Life Styles Inventory TM

(LSI): Self-Description

The raw and percentile scores in the table below and the extensions on the circumplex shown on the next page depict your perceptions of how you think and behave.

The CONSTRUCTIVE Styles (11, 12, 1, and 2 o'clock positions) reflect self-enhancing thinking and behavior that contribute to one's level of satisfaction, ability to develop healthy relationships and work effectively with people, and proficiency at accomplishing tasks.

The PASSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (3, 4, 5, and 6 o'clock positions) represent self-protecting thinking and behavior that promote the fulfillment of security needs through interaction with people.

The AGGRESSIVE/DEFENSIVE Styles (7, 8, 9, and 10 o'clock positions) reflect self-promoting thinking and behavior used to maintain one's status/position and fulfill security needs through task-related activities.

Your LSI Results

The raw scores potentially range from 0 to 40. The percentile scores represent your results compared to those of 9,207 individuals who previously completed the Life Styles Inventory. For example, a percentile score of 75 means that you scored higher along a particular position than 75% of the other respondents in the sample and, in turn, indicates that the style represented by that position is strongly descriptive of you. In contrast, a score of 25 means that you scored higher than only about 25% of the other respondents and therefore indicates that the style represented by that position is not very descriptive of you.

Your LSI Styles Circumplex

To accurately interpret your LSI results, it is important for you to consider your score on each style in terms of its range (high, medium, or low) on the profile. The three ranges correspond to the percentile points in the circumplex and in the table on the previous page.
