Inventory Interpretation
Interpreting the
Individual "The Way I See It" Profile
The Way I See It Profile
An individual's profile reflects the relative strengths of
self rated values in each of the five predominant systems today. The overall
scores are charted on a large graph. The overall rating is a compilation of
all the subscale scores and reflects one's general values. Even though a
person may change some of their answers on a second taking of the inventory,
one's overall self rating tends to remain stable.
Subscales
The five subscales reflect one's self rating in five life content
areas. The content areas of the subscales are:
Perception of Others One's values in viewing other people, how
one judges others' wants and needs.
Authority One's values about people seen in authority, how
authority is ideally exercised in one's view.
Personal Beliefs An individual's personal philosophy on
ultimate life values, what one sees as determining the reason for working and
living.
Interpersonal Relations The ways one would like to see
relationships between people conducted, what one values in relating to others
on the job and socially.
Perception of Self How one sees oneself choosing behaviors in
life, the perception one has of one's reactions to life at work and at home.
Profile Interpretation
Each system has its strengths and challenges, in working and playing
alone and with others. These challenges are with those of similar values as
well as with those of differing values. Awareness of one's strengths and
challenges can facilitate effectiveness in setting and meeting individual and
group goals in whatever value system or combination of systems with which one
is working.
Points to note:
1. Which is your nodal system, i.e., lowest score, rated most like you? Is
it significantly more like you than other systems? About what do you agree and
disagree with it's description?

2. What is your second highest rating on the graph? Are you moving toward that
system's values or away from them?

3. How are your subscale profiles similar to or dissimilar from your overall
profile? What does this say about the congruence of your values in different
contexts in your life?

4. What strengths and challenges do you perceive yourself having in relating
to people of differing value profiles?

5. Do you see yourself as an open systems individual, incorporating values
from many systems and valuing growth to new systems, or a closed systems
individual, valuing consistency and stability within one particular system?

6. Do you rate yourself more like the even numbered systems (4 and 6 - Adapt
Self temperaments) or or odd numbered systems (3, 5 and 7 - Express Self
temperaments)? _______________________________________________________
