Pattern Coach

A context-aware work-style snapshot (36 Likert items + adjective cross-check). We compare your “rational” answers with your felt descriptors, plus process signals (time & changes). This is a coaching tool — not diagnosis. This page collects the inputs needed to generate your report. You’ll also get a session code (BCS-...) to use later in Team Builder. Each session generates one final PDF report (after admin approval). Many people discover “unknown knowns”: strengths and blind spots they didn’t have language for yet, plus clear improvement points.

How to fill
  • Answer instinctively (1 = strongly disagree … 10 = strongly agree). Try 6–8 minutes total.
  • Pick adjectives that truly fit you — 7–9 total per axis (EI, SN, TF, JP).
  • The slider k controls how much adjectives influence the narrative. Default 1.0 (balanced). Lower it (e.g., 0.6) if your words were chosen quickly or felt uncertain; raise it (e.g., 1.4) if you’re very confident in the words.
Your details
We’ll use this to tailor the narrative and the closing section.
Session code: —
Previous roles (optional, improves career insights)
Include roles that shaped your decision making, stakeholder influence, planning, delivery, or people leadership.
Titles (what they mean)
Individual Contributor (IC): hands-on specialist who executes and delivers (e.g., engineering, design, analysis).
Lead: senior IC guiding a small pod/squad; influences delivery and quality without being a people manager.
Manager: people manager; accountable for team health, growth, and delivery outcomes.
Director: leads managers and larger charters; accountable for strategy, prioritization, and cross-team alignment.

Tags (work context): Decision-making, People-leading, Stakeholder mgmt, Planning, Delivery, Coaching.
Tags (environment): Startup = early-stage/fast-changing; Enterprise = large, mature org; Regulated = compliance-heavy (finance/health/public); Customer-facing = direct client/user work; Remote = primarily distributed/virtual teams.
Likert Questionnaire
Rate each statement: 1 (Strongly Disagree) … 10 (Strongly Agree)
Answer based on how you typically work (recent projects), not an idealized version. Low = rarely/strongly disagree; high = often/strongly agree. Go with your first instinct.
Adjective Cross-check & Weight
Adjective influence (k): 1.00
Pick 7–9 adjectives per axis that reflect how you operate at work. Hover to see meanings. Axes: E–I (expressive vs reflective), S–N (practical vs conceptual), T–F (analytical vs relational), J–P (structured vs adaptable). Aim for a balanced, honest set—don’t choose only one pole.
What you get
  • Your 4-letter code and per-axis scores (0–100).
  • Energy mix (Directive, Expressive, Supportive, Analytical).
  • Context drift (early / home / work), adaptation and stress indicators.
  • Confidence signals from process (time, changes, extremes).
