2 INTRODUCTION The PROFILOR for Executives Feedback Report gives you information based on the questionnaires you sent to five groups of people; yourself, your boss(es), your direct reports, your peers/colleagues, and other feedback providers you selected. It is used in conjunction with The PROFILOR for Executives Interpretive Guide and Development Plan form. The Interpretive Guide describes the purpose, background, and benefits of The PROFILOR for Executives. It also includes information that helps you interpret your Feedback Report and formulate a Development Plan. We recommend that you read The PROFILOR for Executives Interpretive Guide as you analyze your report. In conjunction with the Guide, the following brief descriptions will help you get the most from the different sections of your Feedback Report. For further explanation, refer to the key at the bottom of each page of your Feedback Report. Summary Information IMPORTANCE SUMMARY This section compares how you rated the importance of the competency areas for your current job with similar ratings from your boss(es). Your rating is displayed by the filled circle and your boss s rating by the diamond. If you are receiving feedback from two bosses, s rating is displayed by the diamond and s rating is displayed by the inverted triangle. These ratings help you determine which competency areas are most critical for your job. By comparing the ratings of your boss(es) with your ratings, you will be able to get a good sense of similarities or differences in perceptions of importance between you and your boss(es). FB COMPETENCY OVERVIEW This section provides the results of your self ratings and your respondents ratings, both compared to all other executives who have previously used The PROFILOR for Executives. Your self ratings are shown by the filled circle and the average ratings made by other respondents are represented by the square. The range of ratings received by the large group of other executives who have taken The PROFILOR for Executives (the norm group) is represented by the horizontal shaded bar. This bar represents the middle 50% of the scores for this group. This information shows you how your selfperceptions compare to the perceptions of others. Any large differences are marked in the Discrepancy column (DISC) by a box with an arrow to the left or right. A box with an arrow to the right means you may be overestimating your skill compared to how others view you; a box with an arrow to the left means you may be underestimating. The Importance column (IMP) shows the most critical competencies from your and your bosses points of view. This is noted by (S) for your self ratings and (B) for your boss s ratings. If you are receiving feedback from two bosses, s ratings are noted by (BA) and s ratings are noted by (BB). PERSPECTIVE COMPARISONS This section displays the ratings you received from the different groups of your respondents self, boss(es), direct reports, peers/colleagues, and other feedback providers compared to the large norm group of executives who have previously responded to The PROFILOR for Executives questionnaire. Your ratings from each group are represented by the narrow vertical bar. The norm group is represented by the horizontal shaded bar. Please note that norms are not available for the other respondents due to the variability placed in this category. If your ratings from one group of respondents are consistently higher or lower

3 INTRODUCTION than the others, you should try to determine the reason for the differences. Detailed Information SPECIFIC QUESTION RESULTS This section reports the ratings you received from each respondent group for each question on The PROFILOR for Executives. The highest rated questions in each area are marked with brackets; the lowest rated questions are marked with parentheses. This more detailed feedback can help you understand the different impact you may have with different groups and give you specific direction in planning your development. Many specific questions in this section have a corresponding page number from The Successful Executive s Handbook listed in the far right-hand column. The Handbook contains a comprehensive listing of development suggestions for on-the-job development activities, recommended readings, and toprated seminar sources. It can be used as a selfdevelopment tool or for developing direct reports. It is available separately from Personnel Decisions International. COMPOSITE The Leading Continuous Improvement Composite shows your ratings on the specific behaviors and competencies necessary to ensure continuous learning and improvement throughout the organization. The behaviors in the Composite are drawn from relevant competencies in The PROFILOR for Executives model. HIGHEST AND LOWEST RATINGS This section lists specific question results taken from all competencies, showing the 20 highest rated questions and the 20 lowest rated questions. In addition to the text, the rating of each item is displayed. 3 Developmental Highlights FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT The Focus for Development helps you identify your key strengths and development needs as seen by others. Your overall three highest and three lowest competencies are identified at the top of the page, based on the overall ratings by others compared to the norm group. Then, the importance ratings in your current job are factored in. BOSS or BOSS A PERSPECTIVE identifies the competencies rated most important by your boss (or ) and rated highest and lowest by others. SELF PERSPECTIVE identifies the competencies rated most important by yourself and rated highest and lowest by others. If you are receiving feedback from two bosses, the second set of pages shows BOSS B PERSPECTIVE, identifying the competencies rated most important by and rated highest and lowest by others. Strengths are competencies seen as strong by others; development needs can be interpreted in several ways. They may be deficits, opportunities for fine-tuning, low priority areas, or behaviors not demonstrated in the presence of one or more respondent groups.
