Interpersonal Circumplex — Sample Profile
Your Scores
Each bar shows where your responses fall on the 5-point scale, expressed as a percentage of the possible range.
Assured-Dominant captures how confident, forceful, and take-charge you are with others. Your answers place you in the higher range (75%), where you tend to lead, assert yourself, and take charge readily.
Well above average — 99th percentile compared with the reference sample (N = 795). 90% confidence range: 92nd–99th percentile.
Where you fall relative to the population — a normative comparison, not a diagnostic indicator.
Your responses put Arrogant-Calculating toward the lower end (25%). This trait reflects how competitive, tough-minded, and self-promoting you are; at this standing, you tend to be modest and disinclined to play angles.
Average (typical range) — 49th percentile compared with the reference sample (N = 795). 90% confidence range: 16th–83rd percentile.
Where you fall relative to the population — a normative comparison, not a diagnostic indicator.
On Cold-Hearted — how detached and unsentimental you are toward others — you score in the lower range (0%): you tend to be warm and emotionally engaged with others.
Aloof-Introverted (how socially reserved and inward you are) sits toward the lower end for you (25%), which typically means you tend to be outgoing and to seek out social contact.
Well below average — 14th percentile compared with the reference sample (N = 600). 90% confidence range: 2nd–43rd percentile.
Where you fall relative to the population — a normative comparison, not a diagnostic indicator.

Your responses put Unassuming-Ingenuous in the average range (50%). This trait reflects how modest, trusting, and unpretentious you are; here you show a mix of both tendencies depending on the situation.

Well above average — 94th percentile compared with the reference sample (N = 795). 90% confidence range: 69th–99th percentile.
Where you fall relative to the population — a normative comparison, not a diagnostic indicator.
Gregarious-Extraverted (how sociable and outgoing you are) sits toward the higher end for you (75%), which typically means you tend to be lively, talkative, and drawn to company.
Above average — 82nd percentile compared with the reference sample (N = 600). 90% confidence range: 52nd–96th percentile.
Where you fall relative to the population — a normative comparison, not a diagnostic indicator.
