Self-check
Where you start, and where pressure moves you
Two short parts, about ten minutes. Part 1 asks how you work on an ordinary day. That’s your working style. Part 2 asks what you do under pressure. That’s your drift pattern.
Style is where you start. Drift is how far pressure moves you from there.

Under pressureWhere pressure moves you
Push: move against the pressurePull back: move away from it. A longer bar means it shows up more often. The centre of each line names what holds when you read that part of work accurately.
One question for us
The guide calls what a person does under pressure a “drift pattern”. We’re still testing that name. Which one would be clearest to you?
This one answer is sent to us. It goes without your name or email.
About this self-check. It’s for reflection, and it hasn’t been tested as a measure. A working style is a starting point, and it can stretch. A drift pattern describes what you do under pressure, and it can change. Don’t fill this in about anyone else unless they ask you to.
Use with care. Keep your result to yourself unless you choose to share it. Keep it out of ratings, files, discipline, hiring, promotion, probation, casework authorization, assignments and references. If something here weighs on you, your Employee Assistance Program or a counsellor can help.
