Distinctive Qualities 01
Based on the Sheffield Assessment, this section identifies your most distinct, "stand out" characteristics, or how you're different from the norm as compared to our database of attorneys.
Self-Starter
Beth frequently takes initiative to complete tasks without requiring instruction or supervision from others. Lawyers with strengths in this area will recognize a need, develop a plan for completing a task, and work towards the completion of the task, all on their own. Lawyers with above average levels of this trait also generally possess higher emotional intelligence, as they generally express their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a direct, yet constructive way. One caveat, however, is that Beth should remember to check in with managers and team members to be sure that projects are proceeding as expected and that changes to the original plan have not been made in the interim.
Goal Driven
Beth frequently sets goals for planning purposes or for measuring personal or organizational success. Her goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about her future, and for turning this vision of the future into reality. Multiple studies have shown that explicit goal-setting has been found to be a shared trait among highly successful people.
Predictability
Beth finds comfort in predictable, routine patterns. This is a positive characteristic for work areas that are more stable and systematic in nature.
Strong Presence
Beth exhibits a commanding presence, a sense of ease, poise, and self-assurance. She can 'turn it on' to command a room or conversation with an attracting energy and attitude. When used purposefully this can be a highly effective tool for professional interactions.
Optimistic
Beth is happy to take on multiple projects at once and is capable of delivering many of them to completion. Beth can also be prone to distraction or procrastination from projects when confronted with difficult obstacles. She will do better with clearly defined, short-term projects, or as part of a team where she has others to assist with the completion of projects. In general, having Beth focus on one task at a time instead of constantly multi-tasking will lead to faster, more thorough project completion.
Cognitive Super Power 02
This section describes your Superpower; your dominant, "go to" behavior that is so natural, fast, and easy to access, you may not even know you have or are using it.
Super Analyzing
Beth’s Superpower
- Compelled to help by making certain everything is accurate and logically consistent
- Do everything in her power to ensure things are properly categorized, sorted, identified and labeled
- Beth may sometimes be overly critical in an earnest attempt to help and make things better
- She loves analyzing to uncover the one most perfect solution to a problem
- Beth typically thinks all problems can and should be solved by logic and reasoning
Good Day
System Thinker
Bad Day
Analysis Paralysis
Super Analyzing
Beth understands logic and analyzes or figures out the essential principles. That is what Super Analyzing is all about. Those with this superpower are constantly evaluating, defining, and identifying if something is correct or incorrect based on the sophisticated logical models and complex mental concepts they use.
For Beth it is very frustrating that most other people do not logically analyze or figure out their decisions. She often can't turn off the need to analyze things. Those with Super Analyzing are often dismayed because almost the entire world seems illogical or 'stupid' to them.
Their sophisticated analysis can sometimes result in a fairly biting wit. And when overused this can result in a perfectionist approach and evaluation of both themselves and those around them.
It is also this constant mental sharpening that results in amazing progress on any problem that can be analyzed and solved by principles. Beth often thinks all problems can and should be solved by logic and reasoning.
Engagement Styles 03
This section describes how you prefer to interact and engage when you are working with others in order to help you realize how you can make the biggest, most significant contributions.
Beth's Engagement Style:
Refine for Perfection
- Your dominant engagement style describes how you prefer to interact and engage with others, especially when working on a project.
- Your engagement style can be helpful in identifying how you prefer to interact with teammates and how you make your best contributions.
- Each engagement style has several key opportunities for making a project successful.
- When an engagement style is overused, then that style can create threats to a project's success.
Making the plan
Refusal to change plan
Quietly fixing things
Lack of decision
Building enthusiasm
Not completing
Achieving goals
Hasty decisions
Visual Type and Go-To Behaviors 04
This section is a visual model of Carl Jung’s Psychological Types showing how you use all eight behaviors and which two are dominant for you.
Visual Type provides a visual guide to the predictive use and accessibility of each behavior and an instantly recognizable way to see differences between people. This helps individuals with self-awareness. It also helps others understand what they can expect from the individual. The goal of this section is to make it immediately obvious to non experts how the functions relate to each other and the person based on their whole type.
Analyze
Decide based on logically correct or incorrect and evaluate the best approach
Beth uses an internal, logic-based decision-making process that focuses on what is correct or incorrect. Beth looks inside before making decisions, using her mind to create order, to organize and categorize information, identify anomalies, deduce probabilities and understand how things work.
(This is where Beth starts when interacting with the world. The Primary or Dominant behavior.)
Invent
Look to the new and different ideas and explore many possibilities
Beth uses brainstorming, a verbal questioning to identify patterns that provide insight. If Beth looks to Invent as her go-to behavior for gathering information, she prefers seeking answers through brainstorming, identifying patterns and innovation. Beth looks outside the box for answers, seeking something new.
(If the primary behavior is not enough then this is where Beth goes for answers)
You use all eight Go-To boxes but we expect that you find certain ones easy and fun and others slow and tough.
Think of the box size as telling you how natural you are likely to find activities related to that mental function. The smaller the box, the more energy it will likely take you to do any related activities. The bigger the box, the more likely you are to get energy from doing related activities.
The largest box is your largest function or Superpower.
The boxes above the line are what other people see - they are extraverted. The boxes below the line are introverted and are below the surface.
If your main go-to box is introverted, your most commonly used mental function is invisible to others. If your main go-to box is extraverted, others cannot see your supporting introverted box.
Now
Look to the present and immediate needs and explore what is currently available
Now is very adept at identifying details about something that is happening right now and can be acquired through the five senses. People using NOW tend to be very aware and in the moment, seeking tactics that they can implement right now. Now looks to the present and the immediate moment for solutions.
Now is about immediately engaging the world around us. We do this by perceiving information through any of our five senses. We might even be using multiple senses simultaneously. Remember we are talking about concrete information; otherwise, it would not be information we perceived through one of the senses.
The Now function triggers an immediate reaction to or an engagement of what is perceived, so it may appear as if one is quickly changing from one activity to another or shifting interest quickly from one thing to another.
People who prefer to or naturally use Now to acquire information report liking to "live life to the fullest" or "live on the edge". Often the physical risks are exciting. They also report doing things or saying things that get a recognition or a reaction from others in the moment.
Stabilize
Look to the past, traditions and what worked and focus on consistency
Stabilize is abot keeping an internal database of details that have been learned in the past. Stabilize compares today's data with past data to make an informed decision. People using Stabilize tend to check their memory, make comparisons to the past, and in general look to the past to verify information.
Stabilize is about checking out the present information by comparing it to previous experiences with similar information. We do this by recalling and reliving the past experiences in our lives. These are concrete experiences that include the emotional experiences or reactions we had to the experience being recalled. The recalled experiences are recalled from start to finish and if they are shared everything from start to finish must be shared.
When active, Stabilize might appear to be slow in responding or unmoved by the present moment. This is because the focus is not on the present event. Instead it is on examining all past similar experiences.
When people who prefer, or naturally use, this mental function share the experience it is as if they were sharing the video tape that is playing in the brain. They also know that the devil is in the details, so expect them to be uncomfortable leaving out the details when they are talking and wanting you to include the details when you are talking.
Recognize that the experiences being recalled may have occurred eons ago, yet they are being talked about as if they only occurred yesterday.
Invent
Look to the new and different ideas and explore many possibilities
Invent is about brainstorming, a verbal questioning to identify patterns that provide insight. People using Invent tend to prefer seeking answers through brainstorming, identifying patterns and innovation. Invent looks outside the box for answers, seeking something new.
Invent is about identifying possibilities and opportunities related to what is happening in the real world. It is generating new ideas based on old ones. It is creating new ideas based on what someone else has shared. It expands one idea into many possibilities without the need for precision or detail.
Invent when active in a positive way tends to view the opportunities and possibilities positively. Information shared through this function may seem to be superficial or broad brush as the details or what is beneath the surface can be filled in later. The expressions tend to be global in nature.
Connect
Look to how things connect, the future and predict possible outcomes
Connect is about the process of identifying seemingly disconnected patterns to result in instant insight into a problem or situation. When using Connect people tend to visualize their goal or end result, focus on strategy, synthesize data almost unconsciously and predict results with surprising accuracy. Connect looks to and visualizes the future for answers.
Connect identifies the opportunity or possibility that is the "best" without really knowing how it was identified. It is like a receiver getting signals from an unknown TRUSTED source. It tends not to focus on intermediate steps instead focusing on the end goal. One might connect with Covey's "Start with the end in mind" as an introverted intuiting approach.
The insights that are received are like nuggets of gold; however, often the person receiving the nugget does not know how to immediately explain it to others so that they perceive it as a nugget of gold as well. This is often because the nugget appeared as a flash of light or insight without supporting information, so when one attempts to explain why the insight should be trusted the mind is blank. Reflection time is almost always needed to allow some bits of information to drift into consciousness to support the value of the insight. Memory is symbolic and images and ideas are ever-changing.
Execute
Decide based on measurable goals and drive towards objectives
Execute is about plans, organizing, schedules, and measures. Execute structures the decision-making process by directing and interacting with other people. Execute focuses on measurable goals. When using it, people tend to think out loud, notice quickly when something is out of sequence or order, set objectives and criteria for success, and create step-by-step procedures. Execute looks to influence and organize the world, even when not solicited to do so.
Execute uses accepted tools and techniques to evaluate the information much like surveying instruments are used to determine a specific location. This process organizes information in an orderly manner so the information can be analyzed objectively or impersonally.
With Execute everything is supported with logically analyzed data. Execute analyzes information within specific boundaries. Western states are different from northeastern states. We can think of Execute as establishing boundaries for the problem or boundaries regarding information that will be considered. Execute involves living by specific rules, regulations and laws and believing others should, as well.
Analyze
Decide based on logically correct or incorrect and evaluate the best approach
Analzye is about using an internal, logic-based decision-making process that focuses on what is correct or incorrect. When using Analyze people tend to look inside before making decisions, using their mind to create order, to organize and categorize information, identify anomalies, deduce probabilities and understand how things work.
Analyze evaluates information based on how consistently and precisely the information fits within established internal systems or frameworks.
These frameworks are built with precision and take a long time to be completed; therefore, they are not going to be quickly discarded in favor of a different framework. Because this is an introverted function the framework or system is not visible to others. Others often do not get a glimpse of the framework until they arrive at a decision that is not consistent with the framework, at which time they get to witness the volcanic explosion.
One can think of Analyze as an internal filing system. Each file contains sub-files, which contain sub-files, and so-on. Thus, when one is using Analyze, the time it takes to evaluate information may take a substantial amount of time, as the person must check to see if the information fits within one's complex filing system. If there is no place in the filing system for the piece of information to go, it will be rejected until more information is received.
Consideration
Decide based on people's needs and empathize with others
Consideration is about giving the other person's personal needs high importance in making a decision. Consideration gives priority to the feelings of others. When using Consideration people then to be friendly and considerate, try to create harmony between other people, act with kindness and will disconnect with people who do not show that they care. Consideration looks to help others grow.
Consideration is about tuning in/noticing/reading the mood or the practical needs of others and then addressing or satisfying those needs.
Consideration is genuinely 'other focused.' It is the mental function used to assess how others will react to certain decisions. It involves knowing the appropriate thing to do and is satisfied when others are content and working together.
This function evaluates based on the possible impact on others. It strives for peace externally or peace among others and is about making sure others are not disturbed, annoyed or in conflict. Consideration involves conversing and connecting with others, being with others, appreciating others and celebrating with others. It's all about 'others.'
Value
Decide based on ethically right or wrong and sync with individual values
Value is about aligning personal missions with being understanding. Value decides in a way that promotes win-win solutions with the priority on other people's feelings and their own personal ethics and morals. When using Value people tend to make decisions that focus on what is right or wrong according to their own internal values. They then expresses their internal values through external actions.
Value evaluates information based on one's unique values. It is easy for one to apply these values to identify what is right, but it is difficult for one to explain to others what one is using to determine what is right.
These values are shielded and protected from attack by others and thus may make us feel alone, vulnerable, or even on the defensive. There is a bit of mystery as to who this person is and there is a sense of tranquility and personal serenity. The values involved change very little, if at all, over time.
When these values are attacked, the reaction is often as shocking to those triggering the reaction as it is to the one who is reacting. It is as if a sudden, unexpected explosion has occurred that is the opposite of the serene inner harmony that is generally sought. Value strives for peace internally or an internal calmness and sense that everything is right.

Satisfaction Score
This section provides insight as to which practice areas and work settings might be the best fit for Adam. Better fits are shown higher on each list, and are based upon trait patterns of thousands of attorneys and their reported satisfaction levels with their practice and work settings. The median score is 50 – satisfied with one’s work setting and practice area roughly half of the time. To be clear, this section is not saying that Adam couldn’t be successful in lower scoring practice areas or settings. Our research suggests, however, practice areas and settings with higher Satisfaction Scores will feel more natural. This section also refers to various types of law and practice areas. Curious about what attorneys in these practice areas do? Check out our resources page here for more information.
