PERSONAL  STYLE   INVENTORY

Just as every person has differently shaped feet and toes from every other person, so we all have differently “shaped” personalities. Just as no one’s foot shape is “right” or “wrong”. The purpose of this inventory is to give you a picture of the shape of your preferences, but the shape, while different from the shapes of other persons’ personalities, has nothing to do with mental health or mental problems.

The following items are arranged in pairs (a and b) and each member of the pair represents a preference you may or may not hold. Rate your preference for each item by giving it a score of 0 to 5 ( 0 meaning you really feel negative about it or strongly about the other member of the pair, 5 meaning you strongly prefer the other member of the pair ). The scores for a and b MUST ADD UPTO 5 (0 and 5, 1 and 4,2 and 3, etc. ) DO NOT USE FRACTIONS SUCH AS 2 ½.
