Thanks, bro lifeline.
But can you summarize, please :ashamed1: ?

Driver

With high assertiveness and low emotional response to others, Drivers are not so worried by how others react and are hence more independent and candid. With less concern about people they have a greater concern for results and are quite pragmatic. They may also be poor collaborators and upset others with inconsiderate words and actions.
Some characteristics of Drivers:

Competitive and needs to win
Seeks control and being in charge
Fast-acting
Plans carefully
Decisive
Results-oriented
Task-focused
Dislikes inefficiency and indecision
Can be impatient and insensitive
When stressed may grab control be overly critical Expressive

Expressive people have higher assertiveness and greater responsiveness to others. With less concern for what others think they are typically articulate, quick and visionary. On the down side, their assertiveness may make them poor listeners and with a tendency to distract. This can also lead them to be impractical and impatient.
Some characteristics of Expressives:

Intuitive
Creative
Outgoing and enthusiastic
Spontaneous and fun-loving
Interacts well with others at work
Good at persuading and motivating
Fears being ignored or rejected
Like to be acknowledged
Dislikes routine and complexity
Tendency to generalize and exaggerate
When stressed may get sarcastic and unkind Amiable

People with higher responsiveness than others and lower assertiveness are people-oriented and sociable. Without a need to lead, they can be steady and reliable workers. They may also avoid any conflict and be rather passive, lacking drive and becoming careless.
Some characteristics of Amiables:

Friendly and relates well to others
Good at listening and teamwork
Wants to be respected, liked and approved of
Dislikes of conflict and risk-taking
Seeks security and like organized workplaces
Slow decision-making
Prefers to be told what to do than to lead
Fears change and uncertainty
When stressed may become indecisive and submissive Analytical

Analytical people are less assertive and less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on tasks than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work. They may also pay excessive attention to detail in ways that annoy others.
Some characteristics of Analyticals:

Focuses on tasks more than people
Likes to be right and will take time to ensure this
Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise
Good at objective evaluation and problem-solving
Likes organization and structure
Avoids group work, preferring to work alone
Can be over-critical and unresponsive
Cautious in decision-making
When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong So what?

This is a relatively simple model, making it easy to assess and classify people during everyday interactions and so predict how they may behave. Understanding differences can also be helpful in teams where realizing that others are not like you can be quite a revelation.
By understanding individual styles you can also customize the way you negotiate and persuade them, for example by changing your style to be closer to theirs (and so seem more 'reasonable').

Thanks roly for the summary!

Bro, that's the way.... When people tell u something and u take the trouble to find things out, u are already ahead of the competition... U will learn more than others...

In the animal kingdom. The fittest will always have an edge... The fastest leopard will always catch its prey...

In the human world, there are a few components. Brains and EQ. That's all... If u have brains, and no EQ, good luck... U better be a president scholar. If u are just an ordinary scholar, u definitely cannot climb up... But if u are a president scholar, u are all set... But before u can even be a president scholar, u need to be an all rounder and interview will be conducted to assess u... So u still need EQ. Hahahaha
Now if u have eq and slight lesser brain power, u will have an edge over a slightly brainier person with lower EQ.

So, u need a combo....

Lifeline, I am impressed... Well done!!!!!! Trust me, most people today do not know how to interact well. Anybody with this skill will always have an edge... Especially for the newer generation who only know how to communicate best with iPhone, iPad, forum, blog... They are losing the ability of a face to face interaction....
bro, now look for videos on human behavior/body language and the tell tale signs... U need to understand the body language.... Every "body" tells a story... I have the ability to analyse a person within 1 - 2 meeting....

Cheers and again, well done !!!!:cheers4: :cheers4:

I once took a similar test b4, but it the D.I.S.C model. My result was abit of every thing.. In short, rojak!:D

[spyro]

Drive: People who score high in the intensity of the "D" styles factor are very active in dealing with problems and challenges, while low "D" scores are people who want to do more research before committing to a decision. High "D" people are described as demanding, forceful, egocentric, strong willed, driving, determined, ambitious, aggressive, and pioneering. Low D scores describe those who are conservative, low keyed, cooperative, calculating, undemanding, cautious, mild, agreeable, modest and peaceful.

Influence: People with high "I" scores influence others through talking and activity and tend to be emotional. They are described as convincing, magnetic, political, enthusiastic, persuasive, warm, demonstrative, trusting, and optimistic. Those with low "I" scores influence more by data and facts, and not with feelings. They are described as reflective, factual, calculating, skeptical, logical, suspicious, matter of fact, pessimistic, and critical.:cheers4:

Steadiness: People with high "S" styles scores want a steady pace, security, and do not like sudden change. High "S" individuals are calm, relaxed, patient, possessive, predictable, deliberate, stable, consistent, and tend to be unemotional and poker faced. Low "S" intensity scores are those who like change and variety. People with low "S" scores are described as restless, demonstrative, impatient, eager, or even impulsive.

Compliance:[3] People with high "C" styles adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do quality work and do it right the first time. High "C" people are careful, cautious, exacting, neat, systematic, diplomatic, accurate, and tactful. Those with low "C" scores challenge the rules and want independence and are described as self-willed, stubborn, opinionated, unsystematic, arbitrary, and unconcerned with details.
