An Interesting Group (Scenario)
Robin has her hands full. She recently took over managing the technical support group at her
company and immediately noticed that her supervisors represent a collection of personalities
like she had never seen before. She was having a problem understanding them and called the
human resource department, which referred her to a local psychologist. The psychologist

suggested that she do some "low-key" testing. Robin agreed, as she felt she had to have some
understanding of her supervisors soon or she would go nuts! The testing was completed and
Robin reviewed the results of the information.
Though clearly capable, Mary does not seem to like herself. Her results indicate an unwillingness
to take risks in job selection, and she seems very susceptible to evaluations from other people.
