Raw Scores vs.

Standard Scores
When completing the Personal Skills Map, your results will be presented in Raw
scores and Standard scores. Raw scores are the scores that appear on the bar graph
for each scale. These scores represent your score out of the possible highest score.
For example, Scale #1 has a high score of 92. If you scored a 61, your score will be
61 out of 92. The ranges for develop, strengthen and enhance for each skill area
can be found on the following pages.

Standard scores are the scores that appear on the top of the graph. The easiest way
to understand these scores is to think of them as percentile scores. The reason the
scores do not go to 100 is that this assessment has been norm-based and that
nobody can be perfect when assessing these types of skills. There is always room
for improvement.

When looking at your scores the only really important value you need to look at is
whether you are in the Develop, Strengthen or Enhance category.
SKILL DIMENSION I: INTRAPERSONAL SKILLS
SELF-ESTEEM (SE): Self-concept, Self-image: Your score on this scale shows how
positively you view your current ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. A high
score (skill to enhance) shows a healthy personality with a positive or good sense of
self-worth. A low score (skill to develop) shows a negative or bad evaluation of self
and your ways of thinking and feeling. How you think, feel, and accept yourself as a
person is directly related to the other personal skills you have assessed in completing
the Personal Skills Map.

SKILL DIMENSION 5: PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR
YOUR INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION MAP: How well you
communicate with others is an important part in good interpersonal relationships.
The communication styles of Interpersonal Assertion (IA), Aggression (IAg), and
Deference (ID) identify your primary (first) and secondary (second) communication
styles. Interpersonal Assertion is the direct, honest, and appropriate communication
of thoughts and feelings to others. Note: The score for Interpersonal Assertion is
found in SKILL DIMENSION II: INTERPERSONAL SKILLS . Interpersonal
Aggression and Interpersonal Deference are opposite to the other skills on the
Personal Map. High scores on these skills may show self-defeating or destructive
communication styles.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR COMMUNICATION STYLE: Most persons use all
three communication styles (assertion, aggression, and deference) to some extent in
all their communications with others. Your highest score on these three scales is your
primary communication style, and the next highest score is your secondary style.
If your highest score is in Assertion, that is your primary interpersonal
communication style. This scale shows how good or comfortable you feel about
telling others about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in your dealings with
others. A high (primary) score on either Aggression or Deference may show a lack of
communication skills or the need to adjust them. Assertion is important to a healthy
personality. Too much of either aggression or deference in interpersonal
communication has a bad effect on all the other personal skills and gives rise to self-
defeating or destructive behaviors.
SKILL DIMENSION 5: PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR
INTERPERSONAL AGGRESSION (IAg): The amount to which an individual uses
a communication style that violates, offends, or takes away anothers rights,
thoughts, or feelings. A high score on this scale may show a lack of feeling toward
others and a tendency to use aggressive, hostile, and attacking behaviors. High
Interpersonal Aggression is related to feelings of anger, resentment, and a quick
response to real or imagined attacks by others.

INTERPERSONAL DEFERENCE (ID): A measurement of the degree to which an
individual uses a personal communication style that tends to yield or give in to
someone else, lets others have their way, to give your rights to another. A high score

standing up to others. High Interpersonal Deference is related to shyness and over-

PERSONAL CHANGE ORIENTATION
Your Personal Map and Interpersonal Communication Map chart your present feelings of eleven
personal skills and shows what you perceive as your primary (first) and secondary (second)
communication styles. The score on your Personal Change Orientation shows the amount of
change you see as desirable for developing your personal and professional effectiveness.
Research shows that high scores on the Interpersonal Aggression (IAg), Interpersonal Deference
(ID), and Change Orientation (CO) scales may reflect self-defeating or destructive behaviors.
Three or more low scores (skills to develop) on any of the eleven Personal Skills Map skills
scales, a primary communication style of either Interpersonal Aggression (IAg) or Deference
(D), and a high score on Change Orientation (CO), shows the need for specific training in skill
enhancements in order to expand personal skills, improve interpersonal relationships, and
promote career/life success.
CHANGE ORIENTATION (CO): Your score on this scale indicates the degree to which you are
motivated and ready for change in the skills measured by the Personal Skills Map. Change
Orientation is opposite to all personal skill scales except Interpersonal Aggression and
Interpersonal Deference. A high score on Change Orientation shows unhappiness with current
skills and a desire to make personal changes.
Persons scoring high on this Personal Skills Map scale shows an awareness and a need for
personal change. Feelings of stress, anxiety, and tension regarding current behavior may be
common to persons scoring high on this scale. Low scores on Change Orientation show
satisfaction with current skills and behavior.
