Professional Persona Executive Summary

Being able to reflect on your personality is
crucial in the business world in order to
properly evaluate your strengths and
weaknesses. In addition to this, knowing how
your peers view you is equally important.
The information provided below is a synopsis
of both how I perceive myself and how I am
perceived by my peers. Here I will draw
comparisons to the data collected from both
the PeopleStyle survey and the Culture Map
assessments.
The word umbrella pictured below
consists of a multitude of adjectives
that my peers used to describe me in
the Self-Perception survey. The
adjectives in dark blue are the
adjectives that both myself and my
peers rated me, and the adjectives in
light blue are the ones that my peers
used to describe me in addition to the
dark blue.

WHO AM I?

According to the PeopleStyle self-perception

survey that I took, I was placed into the
Amiable category. I agree with the result of
this survey because Amiable people tend to
be more relaxed and agreeable, especially in a
setting where teamwork is required.
However, in the survey I sent to my peers, I
was deemed to be more of a Driver. In
additon to being labeled a Driver, I was also
put into the categories of Analytical and

my peers. The four cateogries consist of
Driver, Analytical, Expressive, and
Amiable, and these are categorized on a
scale of Assertiveness and
Responsiveness. The red dot indicates
my personal rating, the blue dots
indicate my peers’ ratings, and the
green dot is the respondent average
rating.
 Communication is
Key
According to the Culture Map results from
the survey, I had high scores in the
Evaluating and Trusting categories. A high
score in the Evaluating category indicates
that I am likely to consider the recipient’s
feelings and emotions when delivering
negative information. A high score in the
Trusting category shows that I prefer to
build trust with people outside of a work-
related setting. In addition to these high
scores, I received a low score in the
Communicating category. This information
indicates that I prefer more clear and
simple messages when communicating with
someone instead of nuanced or layered
messages. I tend to agree with all of these
scores, and knowing this information will
help me to better understand my strengths
and weaknesses for the future.
Thanks to the results from the survey
I took and sent to my peers, I can
confidently say I have a better
understanding of how I am perceived
by others. When initially analyzing
the results and seeing that nobody
categorized me as Amiable other than
myself, this was surprising to me. I
typically view myself as reserved yet
involved, and seeing that people view
me as “social” and “leaderlike” show
me that I may not know how I am
perceived by others, but now I have a
much better understanding.

“Paige is very
puncutal. This is great
because it allows us to
get our work done
efficiently.”
“Given the time you had
to find information, the
solutions were
impeccable! Glad to have
you on our team.”
After analyzing this information, I am
more eager than ever to continue to
develop my professional persona. As
mentioned previously, it is important
to know your strengths and
weaknesses, but it is equally as
important to know how others view
these traits so you can continue to
grow. Seeing how my peers described
me is incredibly encouraging because
many of the adjectives listed are what
I strive to be every day.
