Below are four questions. Each contains two different lists of personality typestyles. Both styles are equally valuable, and neither one is better or worse.

Start with Question 1. Read both sets of descriptions. Choose which list – Style A or Style B – as a whole – describes you better – even if only a little bit better. Try to answer as you really are, not how you may wish you were or may have to act at work. Then answer the other three questions. Your responses will help determine your unique De-Stress Rx.
