How Do You Get Started?
The process begins when you fill out an A.P.S. profile form. This time-tested assessment tool, for adults, teens and children, takes only a short time to complete. Your responses create a unique personal profile that helps you learn about your temperament in three foundational areas:
INCLUSION
Social orientation and thinking processes
INCLUSION answers questions like:
Who gets included in my life? To what extent? Does being with others rejuvenate or deplete me? How comfortable am I socializing? Do I belong? How much energy do I put into thinking things through? Am I creative? Impulsive? Do I analyze every detail? Am I more relationship, task, or goal oriented?
The need that a person is attempting to meet in the area of
INCLUSION is the perception of feeling significant or worthwhile.
CONTROL
Capacity to make decisions and accept responsibility
CONTROL answers questions like:
Who establishes and holds the power in my relationships? How much do I naturally want to influence others? How much do I want (or will I allow) others to control me? How willing am I to make decisions and accept responsibility for myself and/or others? Am I a leader, follower, influencer, rebel, servant?
The need that a person is attempting to meet in the area of
CONTROL is the perception of feeling competent and capable.
AFFECTION
Emotional interaction in relationships
AFFECTION answers questions like:
How many people do I want to feel very close to? How willing am I to be unguarded in my emotions with another person? To become close to someone, am I able to confide my innermost desires, anxieties and feelings? How easily am I able to give and receive physical expressions of love, warmth, and approval in my deep relationships?
The need that a person is attempting to meet in the area of
AFFECTION is the perception of feeling that one's self is lovable. |
