What You Get From A DNA Behavior Result
Once someone completes a DNA Behavior assessment, it produces far more than a single label. This explains what's in a result, so you know what you're working with, whether you're reading a report or pulling data through the API.
The building blocks
Everything in a result comes from the underlying scores (the Factors and Subfactors, covered in their own article). From those, DNA Behavior generates the pieces below.
Your Unique Style
One of 10 named styles (Adapter, Initiator, Strategist, and so on) that sums up how a person naturally works, relates, and decides. It's the headline of a result. See the Unique Styles article for what each one means.
Work and career insights
- Work Talents: scores covering how someone works, for example results vs relationships, careful vs caring, systematic vs flexible
- Hiring and career insights: natural talents, the roles someone is suited to, preferred work environments, and what rewards motivate them
- A performance guide: a person's strengths, their struggles (strengths overplayed), and the conditions they perform best in
Financial behavior
Scores describing how someone makes decisions about money: their communication style, how they react to market events, and what motivates them toward their goals. This is what makes DNA Behavior different from most assessments, it covers money behavior, not just personality.
Communication style
How a person prefers to be communicated with, useful for working with them, managing them, or serving them as a client.
The bigger picture
In total, DNA Behavior has identified over 4,000 measurable behavioral and financial insights, drawn from combinations of the scores. These span talents, leadership, teams, sales, coaching, risk, family, and more. A single assessment feeds all of them.
Reports and comparisons
Results can be viewed at different levels of detail (summary, full factors and subfactors) and can compare one person to another, or show a whole team or group together.
