The HRDQ Style Suite | Personality Work Style Assessments

Capitalize on Personality Style with the HRDQ Style Suite

Personality plays an important role in all facets of organizational life. It determines how people communicate, act as leaders, and get along with others. It drives career choices, performance track records, and organizational culture. Your learners can discover things they never knew about themselves. And they can use that information to improve their performance, build rapport with others, and achieve greater success on the job.

The HRDQ Style Suite is a collection of easy-to-use personality work style assessment and training tools that shed light on key aspects of organizational life, from communication and leadership to team building, sales, time management, coaching, and more.

What's My Communication Style

It's the ultimate tool for improving personal and team performance. What's My Communication Style applies the HRDQ Style Model to how we communicate with others, giving us the knowledge of our style strengths and weaknesses, and how to flex our style to better connect with everyone with whom we work.

The Style Model

The power behind the HRDQ Style Suite lies within a simple, but effective, model. Based on William Marston's theory of Human Behavior, the style model defines personal style in four terms:

Direct, Spirited, Considerate, Systematic

Each of these has a combination of two dimensions, assertiveness and expressiveness.

Assertiveness is the amount of energy and effort a person invests in controlling and influencing the thoughts and actions of others. Highly assertive people are active, confident, and forward, while people with low assertiveness are attentive, process-focused, and like to deliberate.

Expressiveness is the amount of energy and effort a person invests in displaying their own emotions. Highly expressive people are social, emotional, and animated. People with low levels of expressiveness are private, independent, and focused.

The meaning behind these four personality style terms is the key to unlocking what drives human behavior. The simplicity of the model makes facilitation easy for trainers — and training memorable for individuals. There isn’t an easier, more powerful way to understand how personality impacts life, both personal and professional.
