WELCOME TO THE BIRKMAN PREVIEW
The Birkman Preview report provides an introductory overview of much of the career and
relationship data generated by your responses to The Birkman Method® questionnaire.
The Birkman Method® was created from exhaustive empirical research in the workplace. Over 2.5
million people have taken the assessment since its development in the 1950s. Over the years, it has
been repeatedly validated and has shown to have been reliable and consistent with contemporary
psychological theory.
Many assessments describe socialized, visible behavior. The Birkman Method® reaches further to
analyze and report what drives and motivates behavior. We call these "Needs" — the expectations
one has about relationships and situations in a social context. These Needs motivate personal
actions and behaviors. When Needs are met, they drive behavior in positive and productive
directions. Unmet needs can create potentially negative and less than productive behavior (Stress).
The Birkman Method® recognizes the intrinsic value of all styles of behavior and the importance
of contrasting perspectives. As with all Birkman reporting, the Preview report offers a non-
judgmentalapproachtoindividualdifferences.Itisdesignedtobebothdescriptiveandprescriptive.
The Birkman Preview discusses the occupational and organizational perspectives that will shape
teams, career and job role fit.
Birkman International, Inc. has a high commitment to respecting your privacy. Your data will be
maintained in our secure database and shall remain accessible only to authorized parties for future
reference.
While the Preview provides a great deal of information to help you understand as much as possible
about yourself, it's important to know that the depth and variety of applications provided by The
Birkman Method® cannot be covered in this preliminary overview. Most people benefit from the
expertise of Birkman-certified consultants in "reaching further" into the wealth of information that
can be derived from your responses to The Birkman Method® questionnaire.

YOUR LIFE STYLE GRID ®
REPORT
DISCOVER YOUR TRUE COLORS
Birkman's Life Style Grid uses four color codes and four important symbols to reveal:
Your interests and the kinds of
activities you usually prefer (your
Asterisk)
Your usual style - how you behave in
normal conditions, your most effective
style (your Diamond)
Your needs - the support or motivation
you need from others or from your
environment to be effective (your
Circle)
How you react under stress. How your
usual style changes when your needs
aren't met (your Square)
PAY ATTENTION TO HOW CLOSE YOUR SYMBOLS ARE TO THE LINES DIVIDING THE
COLOR QUADRANTS. For example, when your Asterisk is close to the line, you may have interests
from colors on either side of the line. When your Circle is close to the line, you may share needs
with both colors, and so on. The closer your symbols are to the center of the Grid, the more likely
you are to be influenced by the characteristics of the other quadrants.

AREAS OF INTEREST
SOME OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS
Here you'll find types of work you'd love, the hobbies that would captivate you, the
activities or interests that bring real pleasure and fulfillment. The Areas of Interest
Report shows to what degree you share common interests with most others in various
occupations. The area where there is a high correspondence indicates areas that offer
either work you'd be likely to enjoy, or activities you'd particularly appreciate.
Interest doesn't relate to talent or skill. You could, for example, really enjoy and value
music without being a musician, or have a deep interest in science even without personal
capabilities in the field. When your interest in any area is high, it can be a strong
motivator. Fulfilling your interests is a key to both a successful career and a satisfying
lifestyle.
The colored bars featured in several report formats, including the Areas of Interest
Report, indicate various individual styles or composites of styles described through The
Birkman Method®:
Red - Expediter
Green - Communicator
Blue - Planner
Yellow - Administrator

YOUR STRENGTHS AND NEEDS
In personal relationships, work challenges, organizing, decision making and more, here's how you deal with everyday
life. The following information can provide insights to deepen your understanding of how these factors operate in all
your relational areas.
You gain knowledge about your usual style, considered your most effective style or your natural strengths. Very
importantly, you also see how your needs determine your ideal work environment and your possible reactions when
these needs are not met.
The Birkman Method® Strengths and Needs Report develops your own personal profile and guide to show you the
most effective way to deal with:
• Relating to individuals, groups (and feelings)
• Handling schedules, systems, procedures, details
• Resolving conflict, authority issues and personal independence
• Decision making, inclination toward action, patience
• Risk taking, incentives, security
• Work place intensities, personal life commitments
These areas and others on the Strengths and Needs Report are designed in both verbal and graphic form (represented
by 3 shaded bars) to provide information on your usual style, what you need in your ideal environment and which
behaviors to try to avoid. An example of the first bar, Usual Style, is shown below.
Usual Style:
direct and straightforward insightful and intuitivea balance
Each of the three bars symbolizes a range of behaviors that increase in intensity as those particular behaviors move
toward either end of the bar. The lightly shaded mid-range on the bar denotes behavior that is less intense and not as
easily recognized. The arrow pinpoints your individual score on this spectrum.

YOUR PERSONAL STRENGTHS AND NEEDS
One-on-One Relationships (Need for Esteem)
Usual Style:

• unevasive
• matter-of-fact
Will Need:

• over-directness
13 of 31

• communicative and sociable
• at ease with groups
• pleasant and outgoing
Will Need:

met in an environment that emphasizes group involvement, and by having a broad circle of friends and acquaintances.
CAUSES OF STRESS: When you feel that the genuine support of friends or groups is lacking, you can respond adversely
by striving too hard to please other people. You can be swayed too easily by the opinion of others.

• social anxiety
• desire for group approval
• avoidance of close personal ties
14 of 31

Organizing (Need for Structure)

problems out of little ones. When things develop differently from what you planned, you may begin to give even un-
important detail too much attention.

• self-directive
Will Need:
a non-directive, democratic

agreeable relationships are preferred, with occasional opportunities for you to influence the thinking and actions of
others.

find yourself becoming bossy, even domineering, at least in the eyes of others.

and who place primary emphasis on the benefits of a team-oriented, cooperative approach. Competitive rivalry should
be minimized.

reward can upset your cordial and friendly attitude. Feelings of disappointment result, and you become too idealistic,
even impractical.

a result of your pent-up energy.

nor too self- confident.

• practical
• logical

this is the result of the asset you possess in your insight and understanding of how most people think and feel.

• consistent
• conventional
• restrained
Will Need:
a predictable environment opportunities for individualitya balance
NEED: In the same way, an environment which encourages you to be consistent and conventional is most beneficial.

not under the pressure of time when doing so. You need time to gather the significant information as matters become
more complex.

hand you can be frustrated by ambiguity, and on the other hand realize that you worry unnecessarily from time to time.

• fear of making mistakes

CAREER MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Career Management Report helps to better match your career choices with your personality,
the kind of things that motivate you, and your interests.
The Career Management Report is organized into three sections, as follows:
• Organizational Focus, which will help you determine the work environment that suits you
best.
• Job Families/Job Titles that offer you the greatest potential for success.
• Career Summary, a list of strengths that you bring to the work that you do.
Organizational Focus
The Organizational Focus tells you the general work environment in which you're going to feel
most motivated and most comfortable. We generate this information by determining how similar
you are to other people who work in these work environments.
Job Families/Job Titles
The Job Families/Job Titles tell you how closely you match employees in 22 job families (and in a
large number of individual jobs). Most of the Job Titles that you match will have a direct link to the
U.S. Department of Labor's online Occupational Outlook Handbook so you can find out more
information about pay, conditions, and job prospects. International users may wish to choose the Job
Families Only option, since the U.S. data may not be useful to them.
Career Summary
The Career Summary is an overview of the strengths you will probably bring to the work you do.
These strengths are extracted from the Organizational Focus and Job Families/Job Titles sections.
Your career decisions should be based on many factors, including your experience, your education,
and your preferences. We believe that the Career Management Report will provide useful
information in many of these areas.
24 of 31

ORGANIZATIONAL FOCUS - INDIVIDUAL
The Organizational Focus shows you the best working environment for you. It's generated by
determining how similar you are to people who work in four different work environments.

Rather than represent you in terms of your strongest Organizational Focus, we use all four. The color bars
that describe your Focus may be of varying lengths: all long, all short, or a mixture.
The bottom color of the four is always the longest. The longer the bar, the more you are likely to identify
with the work environment represented by that color.

Complements the Bottom-Line color
Bottom-Line color
The second longest bar is your supporting color. It's less significant for you than your bottom-line color, but
it will give you additional information about the work environment that fits you best.
The two remaining bars represent work environments which are likely to be less attractive for you, and
where you are less likely to "fit".
