Your Personal Skills or Capacities – What you are likely to do?

The Attribute Index™ section of the TriMetrix™ Personal Talent Report assesses an individual’s cognitive structure – how their mind perceives themselves and the world around them. The result is a look at how an individual makes decisions and judgments and an accurate ranking of Personal Attributes or Personal Skills – a critical description individual potential for workplace performance.

Within the TriMetrix™ System, twenty-three capacities are measured:

A high score in a skill signifies a correct view of the attribute, a sense of reality and openness or capacity. An accepting view toward the actions or thoughts needed. By contrast, a low score signifies a lack of reality around the attribute – prudence, timidity, anxiety about the actions or thoughts needed.

The Attribute Index also provides insight into how individuals make judgments or decisions – the balance or weighting of three factors in those judgments. Further these are applied to two areas – external and internal.

If the external scores are higher, yet the internal scores lower, the person sees the world (and everyone else in it) in order, but views himself as being disordered (unclear, mysterious, murky). If the external scores are lower, yet internal scores higher, then the person sees the world as chaotic (in the degree of the lowness of the scores). Her security comes from within rather than outside.

The Intrinsic / People Dimension - This is the dimension of uniqueness and singularity; of people, emotions and feelings. When an individual pays too much attention to this dimension it results in over attention to the good or uniqueness of others or things, over emphasis of feeling. Too little attention results in questioning the intentions of others, a tendency to see others functionally and sometimes relative coolness toward others.

The Extrinsic / Task Dimension – The dimension of abstracting properties, comparing things to each other. It includes the elements of the real, material world, comparisons of good/better/best, and seeing people, tasks or things as they compare with other people or things in their class. When a person pays too much attention to the extrinsic dimension, the resultant behavior will be an overemphasis on getting things done NOW, a tendency to see other people as functional commodities, and a need for things to constantly be happening. When a person does not pay enough attention to the extrinsic dimension, the resultant behavior will be a tendency to avoid unpredictable situations, a devaluing of what it takes to get something done, and an avoidance of the fulfilling of social norms and values.

The Systemic Dimension – The dimension of formal concepts; ideas of how things should be. This dimension is the one of definitions or ideals, goals, structured thinking, policies, procedures, rules and laws. When a person pays too much attention to this dimension the resultant behavior is an overemphasis on doing thing by the book, an excessive preoccupation with planning and having things be done perfectly, a strong tendency to measure everything and everyone against a preset idea of how they should be, and an inability to be comfortable with changes and surprises. When a person does not pay enough attention to this dimension, the resultant behavior is an unwillingness to submit to policies and rules imposed from the outside, a skepticism about the value of spending time and money planning for the future, and an uneasiness when systems are in place and running smoothly.
