Your Name: Ekta Agarwal

Instructions:

Given inside is a set of 20 different situations or items that you may face in your workplace. They are
related to how you handle your relationships at work. For each situation there are two alternative
behaviors or reactions suggested, A & B.
For each item you are requested to indicate which of the two alternative reactions would be more
characteristic of the way you would handle the situation described. Try to answer as you think you
would normally behave and not as you think you should. Some alternatives may be equally
characteristic of you or equally uncharacteristic. Nevertheless choose the alternative, which is
relatively more characteristic of you. For each item you have to distribute five points in the given
space between the two alternatives A & B. The possible combinations therefore will be:

If A is considerably characteristic of what you do and B is completely uncharacteristic:

A B
5 0

If A is considerably characteristic of what you do and B is somewhat characteristic:

A B
4 1

If A is only slightly more characteristic than B:

A B
3 2

Each of the above three combinations may be used in the converse order, that is, for example; If A is
somewhat characteristic & B is considerably characteristic:

A B
2 3

and so on.
Thus, there are six possible combinations for responding to the pair of, alternatives presented to you
with each inventory item. Be sure the numbers you assign to each add up to 5. In general, try to relate
each situation in the inventory to your personal experience. Take as much time as you need to make a
true and accurate response.
There is no right or wrong answer. Choose the answer as you feel is appropriate to your behavior. If
you give ideal or social answers it will distort the meaning of your answers and make the test results valueless.

Remember, the value of your scores you receive

is directly dependent upon the validity of the answer you give to each item.
