Management Potential Report Ella Explorer
Introduction 11 July 2016
Introduction
The MPR focuses on personality issues related to management selection and development. This report is
intended to be used in conjunction with professional judgment. The information in this report is
confidential and the statements it contains should be viewed as hypotheses to be validated against other
sources of data in the overall assessment process.
Leadership
Leadership style
In leading others, Ms Explorer's most likely style would be characterised by tolerance and leniency. She
is likely to adopt a permissive style of leading others. Ms Explorer's manner of leadership may be
characterised by the following behaviour(s):
• Ms Explorer tends to react to circumstances and may feel overwhelmed in some stressful
situations. It may be difficult for her to feel satisfied with herself.
• She tends to be serious and cautious in her dealings with others.
• Ms Explorer is likely to follow conventions and traditions. She tends not to question the way
things are done and may prefer work that is familiar and routine.
Based on Ms Explorer's personality information, her overall leadership potential is predicted to be less
than average. She may lack the social presence or pragmatism that typically characterises those in
positions of leadership and authority. Even so, individuals can affect group performance through means
other than direct leadership.
Evaluating others
Overall, Ms Explorer's responses to the inventory suggest that she would be reasonably comfortable with
the interpersonal nature of conducting facetoface performance evaluations. In her appraisals, she
tends to balance resoluteness with receptivity. There may be times when she adheres to her position,
while at other times she may be open to another's perspective. A typical session is likely to be one of
mutual exchange where both parties will have an opportunity to express their views.
Interacting with others
In general, Ms Explorer shows about equal preference for activities involving social contact or those
requiring individual effort. When it comes to revealing personal matters, Ms Explorer describes herself as
neither very private nor very forthright. In group settings, she seems to balance selfassertion with
reserve; she would rarely be perceived as too bold or too shy. Ms Explorer tends to be open and
accepting toward most people, putting her trust in the goodwill of others. However, under certain
circumstances, she could be taken advantage of if she does not give enough attention to other peoples'
motives. Ms Explorer is not overly assertive, nor is she overly accommodating.

Narrative section 11 July 2016
Making decisions
Ms Explorer's problemsolving ability is predicted to be above average. She is likely to assess and
comprehend problems rapidly. Her level of creative initiative is predicted to be somewhat lower than
average. This does not necessarily indicate a lack of creative ability, but may reflect on the extent of her
willingness to take risks, her flexibility, or her resources. Because she may be adept at problem solving,
however, she probably can organise information from many diverse sources. She can value many
aspects of established methods while remaining open to change. It is likely that she will consider both the
outcome or goals and the process or method for achieving them.
Initiative
Independence
Ms Explorer tends to be agreeable and cooperative and she probably prefers receiving directions or
counsel. Moreover, this outlook for receiving guidance and support is likely to be accompanied by the
following personal qualities:
• Although there may be times when she feels uncomfortable introducing her ideas in front of a
group, overall she is as capable as most people in expressing herself in new group settings.
• To a certain degree, she adjusts to changing conditions fairly well and would neither salute
established standards and policies nor consciously disregard them.
Dependability
Ms Explorer tends to be spontaneous and flexible. At the extreme, her impulsivity could entail responding
to challenges immediately when a more planful or disciplined approach might be preferred. When
involved in new projects, Ms Explorer's approach may appear to be casual or may be perceived as
unorganised. She has a tendency to be easily distracted and sometimes may have trouble concentrating
on her work.
Personal adjustment
At the present time, Ms Explorer presents herself as no more or less anxious than most people.
Specifically, the degree of emotional adjustment shown by Ms Explorer is typical of most adults. That is,
most of the time she faces challenges with personal resolve but, in very demanding situations, she may
be reactive or upset.
