One example: Agent JP2 / SGL Profile Certificate
Strongest Qualities: 1+2+3+5+6+11
Agent JP has solid knowledge and a strong commitment to sharing his insight and competence. He communicates with a natural authority toward anyone who asks for help. Through his responses and references, he shows independence and the courage to trust his own judgment. At the same time, he remains open to new ideas and solutions in a continuous process toward new goals. Agent JP is strongly value-oriented. He appears to be guided more by his conscience and inner voice than by external rules of behavior and morality. In public settings he comes across as an intelligent contributor with a broader vocabulary than most people. He seeks results through personal growth and the development of competence. His aim is to build a self-confidence that says: “I accept that I am accepted as I am.” In difficult situations he also shows the courage to ask for help, knowing that he is always, everywhere, his own message.
Areas That Work Well: 4+7+8+9
Agent JP manages his daily tasks and responsibilities independently and satisfactorily. However, he is not a natural administrator of documents or financial management. For this reason, he works best together with a strong administrative support. He is straightforward, rational, and logical in his thinking. His ability to seize the moment and to perceive intuitive images is therefore somewhat limited, and represents an area for improvement and growth. In teams he is a capable leader, but not primarily a team builder whose main focus is to make the participants perform at their best together.
Areas that need attention: 10
Empathy, as the ability to feel into another person’s situation without first seeing, hearing, or reading about it, is not a strong trait. On the other hand, he can be both committed and caring once he becomes aware of what is happening.
