• I (Influence): Sociable, enthusiastic, and people-oriented.
• S (Steadiness): Calm, patient, and team-oriented.
• C (Conscientiousness): Analytical, detail-oriented, and perfectionistic.

Basic Scoring Guide

• Calculate your total for each letter:
• Add up the scores from statements 1, 4, 6, 9, and 21 for D.
• Add up the scores from statements 2, 7, 11, 20, and 25 for I.
• Add up the scores from statements 5, 8, 13, 18, and 24 for S.
• Add up the scores from statements 3, 10, 12, 16, and 23 for C.
