This tool is based on the premise that every person has his/her/their own shape - a unique set of preferences and values in key areas, developed over time through a combination of experience, education and inborn traits. No shape is right or wrong, good or bad. Every shape has strengths and weaknesses. An important key is to identify your unique shape, and then develop strategies that help you interact better with those who have different shapes.

As you complete this inventory, keep in mind one context where you work most often with others. (For the purpose of developing this prototype, please keep only one context in mind.)
