From Nightingale-Conan Business consultants.
Our experts have identified five distinct categories, or character traits, that ultimately determine the likelihood of one's achievement. Based on your responses to our survey, the following profile has been customized to describe your current life situation. Read your profile below...
Your Discipline Results
Although you don't think of yourself as compulsively organized, your friends and family may. Little do they know that secretly, you feel as disorganized as the average person.
Discipline is your ability to set goals, manage your time, accomplish what’s important, measure the results, and maintain an overall balance in life. Without discipline, achievement grinds to a halt.
Your Passion Results
As a very passionate individual, you're ready to take on the world. The greater the challenge, the greater your accomplishment. You’re going to make a difference in this world, and people know it.
Hard work will start you toward your goal. But it’s the passion to press on no matter what obstacles are in your way that’s going to lead you to achievement. Every time. People who live in the two have a continuous flow of passion.
Your Risk Results
A risk-taker at heart, your test results show that you tend to thrive when challenged. And while your willingness to tackle a new adventure may get your adrenaline pumping, at times it can be your greatest weakness.
Risk is a measure of your willingness to step out of your "comfort zone." Success often requires change, and the road is often paved with new challenges that defy complacency. Those not willing to change live a life like everyone else. And those who accept risk get to live like no one else.
Your Optimism Results
As you probably know, your positive nature is what attracts people as well as opportunities to you. You have a genuine sense of self and find value in simply being you. You have a gift that most average people desire, and your time is in high demand by others.
You are what you think about, so it’s no surprise that happy people are, well, just happier. And those who tend to be more positive usually benefit from more success, more satisfying relationships, and more wealth. This category of optimism includes both internal and external sources of positive affirmation (e.g., self-esteem, confidence, self-image, spirituality).
Your Interpersonal Skills Results
Your test responses reveal that you tend to be an introvert by nature and are likely in need of some confidence in your own abilities. Perhaps you lack the skills or just the ability to implement them. Whatever the cause, you realize it is holding you back. Bear in mind that introversion is not an impediment to success; it can actually be an asset. The key is honing your skills.
Relationships are pivotal to your overall success. These include not only your personal relationships, but also your ability to deal with people. Negotiating. Selling. Public speaking. Regardless of your trade, these factors are all necessary for ultimate success.
In conclusion...
If you’re like most people, you have just learned a few things about yourself, and probably confirmed some that you already knew. And while gaining insight about yourself is interesting, it is only valuable if it used to improve your life.
The truth is, of the thousands of people who take this test, only 2% will ever use these test results to live a life of fulfillment. The rest will simply make excuses. “I don’t have enough education.” “I’m too old.” “I’m too young.” “I’m just not lucky.” “I’m not smart enough.”
