scottobearResults for the Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values
Knowledge of an individual's attitudes help to tell us WHY they do things. A review of an individual's experiences, references, education and training help to tell us WHAT they can do. Behavioral assessments help to tell us HOW a person behaves and performs in the work environment. The PIAV report measures the relative prominence of six basic interests or attitudes (a way of valuing life): Theoretical, Utilitarian, Aesthetic, Social, Individualistic and Traditional. Attitudes help to initiate one's behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because they are not always readily observed. It is the purpose of this report to help illuminate and amplify some of those motivating factors and to build on the strengths that each person brings to the work environment. Based on your choices, this report ranks your relative passion for each of the six attitudes. Your top two and sometimes three attitudes cause you to move into action. You will feel positive when talking, listening or doing activities that satisfy your top attitudes.
The feedback you will receive in this section will reflect one of three intensity levels for each of the six attitudes.
• STRONG - positive feelings that you need to satisfy either on or off the job.
• SITUATIONAL - where your feelings will range from positive to indifferent based on other priorities in your life at the time. These attitudes tend to become more important as your top attitudes are satisfied.
• INDIFFERENT - your feelings will be indifferent when related to your 5th or 6th attitude.
ATTITUDES RANKING
1st - SOCIAL Strong
2nd - THEORETICAL Strong
3rd - TRADITIONAL Situational
4th - UTILITARIAN Situational
5th - AESTHETIC Indifferent
6th - INDIVIDUALISTIC Indifferent
SOCIAL
Those who score very high in this value have an inherent love of people. The social person prizes other people and is, therefore, kind, sympathetic and unselfish. They are likely to find the Theoretical, Utilitarian and Aesthetic attitudes cold and inhuman. Compared to the Individualistic value, the Social person regards helping others as the only suitable form for human relationships. Research into this value indicates that in its purest form, the Social interest is selfless.
• Scott will blame the system more than the individual and will work diligently to change the system.
• In business, he wants everyone to receive the most value money can buy.
• He may sacrifice bottom-line profit when the decision may be detrimental to the people involved.
• Scott has the ability to be empathetic toward those who are hurting.
• Looking for the positive in a situation energizes him to solve problems that people are experiencing.
• Scott will have causes that cannot be won, satisfying his inner need for peace. Even if the cause cannot be won, he will still be compelled to try.
• He has the ability to instinctively notice and respond to people in need.
• If he thinks it will harm the relationship, Scott will avoid confrontation.
• Eliminating hate and conflict in the world is one of Scott's passions.
• He wants to promote a doctrine of fairness with regard to rules that regulate people.
THEORETICAL
The primary drive with this value is the discovery of TRUTH. In pursuit of this value, an individual takes a "cognitive" attitude. Such an individual is nonjudgmental regarding the beauty or utility of objects and seeks only to observe and to reason. Since the interests of the theoretical person are empirical, critical and rational, the person appears to be an intellectual. The chief aim in life is to order and systematize knowledge: knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
• Scott has the potential to become an expert in his chosen field.
• Scott is very good at integrating past knowledge to solve present problems.
• Scott is comfortable around people who share his interest for knowledge and especially those people with similar convictions.
• A comfortable job for Scott is one that challenges his knowledge.
• He will usually have the data to support his convictions.
• He may have difficulty putting down a good book.
TRADITIONAL
The highest interest for this value may be called "unity," "order," or "tradition." Individuals with high scores in this value seek a system for living. This system can be found in such things as religion, conservatism or any authority that has defined rules, regulations and principles for living.
• Scott at times will evaluate others based on his rules for living.
• Scott lets his conscience be his guide.
• He will have strong beliefs within a system that he feels most comfortable with, and he will not be as strong in his beliefs or approach if he lacks that interest level.
• Scott needs to be able to pick and choose the traditions and set of beliefs to which he will adhere.
UTILITARIAN
The Utilitarian score shows a characteristic interest in money and what is useful. This means that an individual wants to have the security that money brings not only for themselves, but for their present and future family. This value includes the practical affairs of the business world - the production, marketing and consumption of goods, the use of credit, and the accumulation of tangible wealth. This type of individual is thoroughly practical and conforms well to the stereotype of the average American business person. A person with a high score is likely to have a high need to surpass others in wealth.
• Scott will become money motivated when he wants to satisfy one of the other attitudes or values mentioned in this report.
• Scott can give freely of time and resources to certain causes and feel this investment will result in a future return on his investment.
• He will evaluate some decisions but not necessarily all based on their utility and economic return.
• He will use wealth as a yardstick to measure his work effort with certain activities.
• Scott will not alter his lifestyle in order to acquire something unless there is an immediate need (or the situation is critical).
• Money itself is not as important as what it will buy.
AESTHETIC
A higher Aesthetic score indicates a relative interest in "form and harmony." Each experience is judged from the standpoint of grace, symmetry or fitness. Life may be regarded as a procession of events, and each is enjoyed for its own sake. A high score here does not necessarily mean that the incumbent has talents in creative artistry. It indicates a primary interest in the artistic episodes of life.
• Intellectually, Scott can see the need for beauty, but has difficulty buying the finer things in life.
• He wants to take a practical approach to events.
• Scott is not necessarily worried about form and beauty in his environment.
• Scott's passion in life will be found in one or two of the other attitudes and values discussed in this report.
• He is a very practical person who is not sensitive to being in harmony with his surroundings.
• Unpleasant surroundings will not stifle his creativity.
• The utility of "something" is more important than its beauty, form and harmony.
INDIVIDUALISTIC
The primary interest for this value is POWER, not necessarily politics. Research studies indicate that leaders in most fields have a high power value. Since competition and struggle play a large part in all areas of life, many philosophers have seen power as the most universal and most fundamental of motives. There are, however, certain
personalities in whom the desire for direct expression if this motive is uppermost; who wish, above all, for personal power, influence and renown.
• Stability is a primary concern. Patience and fortitude will win in the long run.
• Scott feels that struggles should be the burden of the team, not just the individuals.
• He will not attempt to overpower others' points of view or change their thinking.
• Being in total control of a situation is not a primary motivating factor.
• Scott will be less concerned about his ego than others may be.
• Scott's passion in life will be found in one or two of the other dimensions discussed in this report.
• As long as Scott's belief systems are not threatened, he will allow others to set the tone and direction of his work.
ATTITUDES - NORMS & COMPARISONS
Areas in which you have strong feelings or passions compared to others:
• You have an intense passion for learning new things, always searching for opportunities to advance your knowledge. Others may struggle with the amount of time and resources you are willing to invest to learn new things. They might think you should stop learning and start doing.
• You have a very strong desire to help eliminate pain and conflict in the world, even to the point of personally taking on the pain of others. You will tend to give freely of your time, talent and resources expecting little or nothing in return. Others may believe you are a "doormat," always giving everything away to whoever walks in the front door, unwilling to look out for yourself or your family. They may believe you are weak and easily taken advantage of...a bleeding heart.
Areas where others' strong feelings may frustrate you as you do not share their same passion:
• Understanding people who view the world based on return on investment will frustrate you. Other things are more important to you.
• You can be frustrated by others who are always jockeying for position and control.
