Forté Communication Style Report ContentsForté Profile: Tom Mitchell
February 14, 2016
Page 3 - This page describes your communication style "In a nutshell." Every communication style consists of a combination of four communication style strengths as shown: Dominance / Non-Dominance, Extroversion / Introversion, Patience / Impatience, and Conformity / Non-Conformity
Page 4 - This page gives a full description of your primary strength. The primary strength is defined as the strength located highest above the mid-line of the primary profile graph, and is the most influential of your communication style strengths. Your secondary strength is the strength located furthest below the mid-line.
Page 5 - This page describes how all your strengths work together.
Page 6 - On page six, you will discover your self-motivational data, which explains the best work/life atmosphere for you. It also shows factors that will demotivate you.
Page 7 - This page begins with defining your current logic style, the style you are using now to make decisions. Your logic style can change based on your current environment.
The second part of page seven describes your current stamina level, which measures endurance from below average to very high. Your stamina level can change based on your internalized feelings regarding goal attainment.
Due to environmental changes, your logic style and stamina level can change when your adapting profile (Adapting Update Survey) is updated.
Page 8 - This page begins with your adapting profile analysis, giving you information on ways you have been feeling about your environment... how you are currently adapting compared to your Primary Profile.
The second part of page eight lists your goal attainment index. This is an indication of how you feel regarding meeting goals over the last 30 days. Your result can change when your adapting profile is updated.
Page 9 - 11 - These pages describe your perceiver profile, how you are most likely coming across to others. The perceiver profile is a correlation between how you are (your primary profile)and how you are feeling within your environment (your most recent adapting profile). It also provides you with a specific communication strategy for the next four weeks.Your perceiver profile can change when your adapting profile (Adapting Update Survey) is updated.
Pages 12 - This page shows the trends of your Adapting and Perceiver Profile updates, and can hold up to 18 updates for trending purposes. Typically, Adapting Updates are done every 30 days for the first 90 days, then every 90 days thereafter.
Pages 13 - This page shows the trends for your Current Logic, Stamina and Goals Index. Coordinated with page 12, up to 18 updates may betracked. These measures help build higher levels of resiliency, and are important measures within the Forte Performance Coaching process.
Page 14 - This page displays a Pattern Chart showing the primary, current adapting and perceiver patterns at a glance.
Page 15 - This page takes a look and gives you the "how", that the Forte Process measure individual Resiliency. The key is to learn how we were adapting during those times of resiliency, then how to reinforce those important behaviors in a consistent way.

How we adapt to changing conditions and how we feel about the results of those changes or roles is measuredby the Forté system. The Goals Index measurement tells us to what level a person feels goals are being metwith Others at Work environment. The scale below gives you an idea of the range Forté tracks. This index isupdated with each adapting update.
How you are (your Primary Profile) and how you are feeling within your environment (your current AdaptingProfile), when correlated, can tell you how you are most likely being perceived (your current PerceiverProfile), that is, how you are most likely coming across to others. The Forté Perceiver Profile is updated withevery adapting survey. Not only does it show how you are most likely coming across to others, but alsosuggests your Forté Communication Style Strategy or expectations through
Primary Profile Current Adapting Current Perceiver
PERCEIVING LOWER CONFORMITY: Others are not perceiving your need for increased detail and step-by-step procedures. Over the next several weeks be sure to inform others you need more detail and step-by-step communication, preferably in writing, than would be expected. Be sure to explain why and the results will be closer to your needs and expectations.
PERCEIVING LOWER DOMINANCE: Those you are communicating with are not perceiving your feelings that decisions are needed and goals need to be reached. Express to others the situations you have concerns about, providing more details than normal so they will fully understand why you feel as you do.

One of the unique measures of the Forté Communication Style Report is Resiliency. Resiliency is defined ashaving the ability to manage and/or bounce back from tough times. We all have been there; it is a normal partof life. Whenever we see the stamina level high or very high, and the goals index most or meeting goals thatindicates you are in the Resiliency Zone. The key is; what were you doing differently during that timeframe?What was working…?
You can look at your Forté Adapting Update Trends on pages 12/13 (they are added to your report with thefirst adapting update) and get a good idea. During those times, was your dominance/non-dominance adaptingup or down, your extroversion/introversion adapting up or down, your patience/impatience adapting up ordown, your conformity/non-conformity, adapting up or down? As you recall and validate those adaptingbehaviors, make note of them and use those notes to recall and reinforce what you know has worked for you.
Success builds on success, and how we manage and/or bounce back from tough times, our resiliency, onlymakes us better!
