Interaction Styles Assessment

EASY TO LEARN, SIMPLE TO TEACH, FLEXIBLE TO USE WITH OTHER PERSONALITY MODELS

Interaction Styles provides easily recognizable information about how people interact and influence each other and how they function effectively in teams. This model identifies powerful drives and underlying beliefs that help develop rapport and strengthen collaboration. The Interstrength X-Styles Assessment is the only instrument available designed to identify best-fit Interaction Styles patterns. This 60-item questionnaire helps your clients understand the “how” of their behavior. It refers to patterns of interaction that are both highly contextual and yet innate. Knowing interaction style will help your clients locate interpersonal conflicts and situational energy drains. It will give them a map for greater flexibility in their interactions with others. Knowing and understanding their Interaction Styles will help clients:

• explore their strengths and weaknesses in communicating with and influencing others
• capitalize on the power of their style
• use their natural talents to get better results
• create buy-in for their ideas
• recognize the styles of others and create better relationships
