Details:

The ultimate performance guide shows your client's performance strengths, struggles, and environment keys.

Knowing strengths can increase performance potential. By having a language to discuss and recognize strengths, your client can find work/systems/etc. that is a match for their unique performance strengths. You will see that the top 3 strengths listed on the report come from the client's strongest behavioral trait. The fourth and fifth strengths come from the second strongest trait.

Knowing struggles can reduce performance impediments. By having the language to recognize strengths overplayed or under stress, your client can be on the lookout for these behaviors that can turn strengths into struggles. The first 2 struggles listed are related to the top behavioral trait, and the third is related to the second strongest trait.

Performance Environment Keys indicate the required setting for maximum performance.

The top 3 keys are associated with the client's top behavioral strength, while the fourth and fifth keys are related to the second strongest behavioral trait.

Because strengths, struggles, and environment keys are based on top traits for the individual client, you can have two people with the same unique style with completely different strengths, struggles, and environment keys. These insights are specific to the individual.
