WHAT'S MY STYLE? ASSESSMENT
by Eileen Russo
Available in both Online and Paper-Based Format
What’s My Style? is a personality style assessment for management development training. Individuals identify personality style, improve their people skills, learn how personality drives behavior and improve interpersonal interactions.
Learning Outcomes
- Pinpoint one of four style preferences
- Discover how style affects behavior
- Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each style
- Learn how to interact with different styles
What’s My Style? starts with a style assessment in which individuals are given 18 pairs of adjectives. With a limit of 5 points, assessment-takers distribute points between the two adjectives in each pair – indicating the degree to which they feel the word describes their behavior. Scoring the assessment reveals a “My Style Profile” and a dominant preference for one or more four personal styles: Direct, Spirited, Considerate, and Systematic. Completion of this assessment will require approximately 10 minutes.
If you are planning to use What’s My Style in a classroom training session, we recommend you allow approximately 1 hour for interpretation of style assessment scores, topic discussion, debrief, and action planning. The Facilitator Guide also offers an easy-to-follow workshop outline that expands What’s My Style into a 2-hour programme.
What’s My Style is appropriate for anyone to use for both personal and management development. The style assessment can be used as a standalone training assessment, or it can be incorporated into a more comprehensive training program. It makes an effective foundation component for a variety of soft skills training topics, including communication, leadership, team building, and supervisory skills.
If you are familiar with the MBTI or DISC assessments, you will find that What’s My Style is a practical and easy-to-use alternative style assessment.

Deciding whether to order Online or Print Assessments?
Both versions include a personal style report, full colour charts, interpretive information, worksheets, and action planning:
- The Online Version is an excellent choice for enterprise-wide training or audiences that are geographically dispersed. It offers 24/7 access, streamlined distribution, and instant scoring. It’s also a great way to reduce paper use in your training.
- The Print Version is ideal for facilitators who prefer to oversee scoring and administration of the assessment, who don’t know who the participants will be before the class begins, or whose learners do not have easy access to computers. It includes pressure-sensitive forms for scoring to aid manual tabulation.
