1.      The Doer

2.      The Thinker

3.      The Creator

4.      The Helper

5.      The Persuader

6.      The Organizer

Once you score on the six variables, you have to select three dominant ones and figure out all possible combinations.

So my score was:

1.      The Doer (31)

2.      The Thinker (36)

3.      The Creator (45)

4.      The Helper (45)

5.      The Persuader (29)

6.      The Organizer (32)

Now, in order to make sense out of it, I select three dominant types:

1.      Helper

2.      Creator

3.      Thinker

All possible combinations:

1.      Helper – Creator

2.      Helper – Thinker

3.      Creator – Helper

4.      Creator – Thinker

5.      Thinker – Helper

6.      Thinker – Creator
