The only personal style instrument that gives scores for both calm and storm ... when things are going fine and when things are stressful. Shows the buttons that get pushed and gives the group language to talk it out.

Helps you see the excesses in your strengths and how this could become a problem. Shows how you know you're going into excess and what you can do to manage yourself.

I particularly liked the calm-storm shift and emphasis on managing your own style excesses ... being responsible and accountable for managing oneself is critical for effective communication and conflict resolution.

This profile provides crucial, eye-opening understanding for my students and clients. They see how the great gifts of their styles can go into excess and also come to recognize, when they are on the road to excess, that they can manage back to their style strengths. In every training evaluation the style segment is one of the top a-ha moments. I work to inspire my students and clients to use the booklet as a resource that will teach them more and more when they come back to it with new life experiences. I like to combine the professionally printed booklet with the online scoring that is always accurate and eliminates double checking results.

Comprehensive ... easy to give and score ... not too much coaching needed ... people can learn themselves.

Participants found the suggestions for dealing with one another's styles extremely helpful, as they were specific rather than general in nature. They seemed to take the tips to heart. It was comforting for them to have a "plan" to fall back on -- a list of guidelines to keep in mind.

This profile separates calm and storm conditions, so people can see how they may change in storm … I don’t see this in other instruments. People grasp the concepts. I like to use the online questionnaire because the scoring is automatic, people work at their own speed, and the results come to me ahead of the workshop.

Understanding strengths and excess as well as storm response are keys to this profile. It helps students grow in self-awareness of what they bring to conflict. It's practical and interactive ... students like it.

A wonderful tool ... connects to the real world. Students use the concepts to debrief on how personal style influenced a particular situation ... students clearly understand ... has a ripple effect to other parts of their lives.

I have tried the FSP for Intimate Partners
in my own marriage. That experience was good and led to greater
understanding between us. We had some good fun laughing
about ourselves, and understanding each other’s weaknesses
and strengths.
