2. Culture Index Report
The following brief narrative contains information covering the 1) Introduction to the Report, 2) a
Traits Summary and 3) a Job Behavior Summary. This information should always be reviewed by a
person that has attended the Culture Index Workshop or your Licensee, as this narrative does not
go into the many considerations that are necessary to make an informed or educated decision on
people. If you would like to attend a workshop, please consult your Licensee or contact us at
info@cindexinc.com.
Introduction
The first section titled "Traits" is a summary of seven work-related characteristics. These "Traits"
assess who you are outside of work, or who you are when you are not modifying your behavior to
meet the needs of your surroundings. These seven work-related "Traits" are inherent behaviors
and are typically established by ages 8-12.
The "Traits" summary portion will help you and others understand how you make decisions, what
your communication style is like, the pace of the work you engage in naturally and your inclination
towards detail orientation or conformity.
The second section of this report entitled "Job Behaviors" is a summary of how you perceive you
need to behave to meet the demands of your existing job and the responsibilities you are
accountable for. This summary may also be helpful in assisting you and other people as to the
cause and/or effect of stress or possible morale issues, if prevalent.
Since Culture Index is not a test, there is no pass/fail. The purpose of this instrument is to help our
supervisors and managers to not only understand themselves and their own management style,
but to also understand the job from your perspective.
Traits Summary

3. This is a pleasant person whose communication revolves around persuasion and general
concepts, although they are capable of using specifics if necessary.
Resists structure or monitoring and assumes the ability to prioritize their work day. This person may
demand details be finished in a certain way, but may require someone else to accomplish the task.
Potentially stubborn, this person focuses on personal interests and resists things that get in the
way of their agenda. Prefers a loosely formed environment and may become restless and
disruptive under too much structure.
This person does not want to synchronize their work efforts and assignments with others.
Tasks of low interest may be ignored in favor of a personal agenda. This person can delegate
detail-oriented tasks.
This person does not easily share their feelings and prefers to think with their head, rather than
with their heart. Their detachment from events does not mean they are unaware of events or
others feelings. They are distancing themselves from the distraction of emotions in order to think
more clearly.
Capable of employing imaginative thought to situations, this person is open to new concepts and
processes. They should be encouraged in this ability as they may otherwise rely on clichéd or
habitual responses. Ingenuity is enhanced by experience and education.
Job Behavior Summary
Although they are naturally persuasive, this person perceives a greater need for enhanced social
skills within the work environment. They recognize the need to increase their naturally expressive
behavior; possibly to increase sales or interpersonal reactions among others.
Due to the work culture, stronger attention to detail and greater follow through are perceived as a
necessity in this position. The position is regarded as requiring an increased degree of structure,
procedure, and compliance in the work assignments. This can also signify a greater need for
accuracy and for taking a conservative approach to those same work assignments.
Aware of a need at the workplace for a very experimental approach to work, this person has
adjusted an already high level of Ingenuity accordingly. They may be applying more of their natural
creativity towards their responsibilities.
This person perceives the need to apply a very high degree of objectivity and logic mindedness to
their work. Personal and other’s emotions are set aside. Work and its various aspects are being
approached in a very black and white manner. They may be perceived as cold or uncaring by
others, when in fact, they are simply pursuing work goals in an objective manner regardless of their
own, or anyone else’s feelings. This does not mean they do not care, but they do not allow their
empathy to deter from the work at hand.
