REPORT DATE: January 18, 2013
The Personal Style Inventory (PSI) has been developed to provide you with some useful insights into your preferences for using your mind. These preferences produce a personal style that characterizes your most frequently used pattern of thinking and behaving. Your individual preferences are inborn and are then developed by your life experiences.
Why is it important to understand them? Often, self-knowledge can free us to try new ways of being and doing, or it allows us to accept ourselves and others more fully. Our communication with others can become more honest and effective as we gain a better understanding of ourselves and others.
