V-FactorTM Profile Version 2.0


Overall Results Summary
Your Overall Feminine Strengths Score is Low
Your score reflects that you have a low level of self-association with your feminine
strengths. This may be due to your natural propensity to feel more comfortable using
masculine strengths but may also be because you are biased against expressing
feminine strengths. This often happens if you live or work in a culture that over values
masculine strengths and undervalues feminine strengths. You may have feminine
strengths you arent tapping into. We recommend that you pick a key feminine strength
to foster and challenge yourself to use it even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Don't let
your own or cultural biases prevent you from expanding towards more feminine ways
of operating. Options to consider include investing time to grow your feminine
strengths and/or teaming with others that already have feminine strengths well
developed.
Your Overall Masculine Strengths Score is Low
Your score reflects that you have a low level of self-association with your masculine
strengths. This may be due to your natural propensity to feel more comfortable using
feminine strengths but may also be because you are biased against expressing
masculine strengths. This often happens if you live or work in a culture that over
values feminine strengths and undervalues masculine strengths. You likely have
masculine strengths you arent tapping into. We recommend that you pick a key
masculine strength to foster and challenge yourself to use it even if it feels
uncomfortable at first. Don't let your own or cultural biases prevent you from
expanding towards more masculine ways of operating. Options to consider include
investing time to grow your masculine strengths and/or teaming with others that
already have masculine strengths well developed.
Your Overall Versatility Factor is Low
You have a low Versatility Factor (V-Factor) score. To score high you must score in
the top quartile of all survey takers on both your overall masculine and your overall
feminine scores. The good news is you may discover untapped potential by focusing
on growing undeveloped strengths or by partnering with others that have already
developed your weaker strength. Be alert to the fact that if you strongly favor
masculine or feminine strengths you likely have unconscious biases that prevent you
from seeing what those missing strengths bring to the table. Having a low V-Factor can
sometimes lead to misunderstandings and frustration when building relationships that
cross gender lines.
Detailed Breakdown of Your Versatility Scores
V-Factor Diagram Key

Versatility can be fostered on 3 levels: Personal Versatility, Interpersonal


Versatility and Organizational Versatility. Below is a breakdown of your scores
on those 3 levels.
Personal Versatility
Personal Versatility is a measure of the masculine and feminine strengths associated
with your sense of self. People with personal versatility balance the masculine
strengths of taking action and striving for more with the feminine strengths of taking
the time to take care of yourself and build self awareness. People with personal
versatility are always growing yet paradoxically, also grounded.
Your Personal Versatility Scores are:

Humble : Self Careful : Bold / Caring : Patient : Intuitive :


Assured Courageous Analytical Decisive Logical
Interpersonal Versatility
Interpersonal Versatility is a measure of the masculine and feminine strengths
associated with how you approach relationships. People with interpersonal versatility
balance the masculine strengths of taking care of themselves with the feminine
strengths of taking care of others. People with interpersonal versatility create good
stable relationships.
Your Interpersonal Versatility Scores are:
Flexible : Collaborative : Diplomatic : Supportive : Good Listener :
Assertive Competitive Frank Challenging Outspoken
Low Interpersonal Versatility can look like being aggressive (I matter; you dont) or
being passive (you matter; I dont). When you have high versatility you tend to be
assertive (you matter AND I matter).
Organizational Versatility
Organizational Versatility is a measure of the masculine and feminine strengths
associated with how you form and lead groups. People with leadership versatility
balance the masculine strengths of getting things done with the feminine work of
creating a team. People with organizational versatility make excellent organizational
leaders.
Your Organizational Versatility Scores are:

Seeks the Best Relationship


Long Term : Team Player : Organic :
in Others : Oriented : Task
Near Term Independent Strategic
Visionary Focused
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to
say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. - Max DePree
How to interpret your report...
In today's volatile and fast moving world, leadership requires the full range of talents
of men and women combined. All men and women have a blend of masculine and
feminine strengths. When we dynamically access and blend masculine and feminine
approaches; we become optimally Versatile.
Our individual and collective Versatility delivers more value to customers, more
profits to shareholders and creates a balanced workplace where we all can thrive.
Masculine and feminine strengths are equal yet opposite complementary strengths. To
use both sets of strengths is not always easy and sometimes, not natural. Still, it is
worthwhile to grow both sets of strengths and/or to partner with someone with
opposite strengths so that we have more options to solve problems.
Masculine strengths are archetypal strengths associated with male biology and the
strengths men needed to survive in pre-agricultural time (e.g. competing for resources
and being tough enough to survive in isolation).
Feminine strengths are archetypal strengths associated with female biology and the
strengths women needed to survive in pre-agricultural time (e.g. taking care of others
and being sensitive enough to survive in the clan).
Now that we are in modern times both men and women need to develop masculine and
feminine strengths to succeed personally and professionally.
Despite the advantage of becoming more versatile we are often unconsciously
responding to many cultural messages that restrict our freedom. Your Versatility
FactorTM profile will help you to determine strengths that might be underdeveloped

This Versatility FactorTM profile measures:


Your Masculine and Feminine Strengths
This instrument measures the degree to which you self-associate with 15 masculine
strengths paired with 15 polar opposite feminine strengths. The attributes measured are
all equally positive and all desirable.
Your scores are reported as high, average or low as compared to all participants that
have completed the report. High scores are higher than the norm, average scores are
close to the norm and low scores are lower than the norm.

Your Versatility FactorTM (V-Factor)


We call the your ability to access masculine and feminine strengths your Versatility
Factor, or V-FactorTM. Your Versatility Factor is a measure of the symmetry
between your masculine and feminine scores. V-Factor scores are reported as high, or
low.
High V-FactorTM scores indicate that you have scored in the top quartile of all survey
takers on overall masculine and overall feminine strengths.
Low V-FactorTM scores indicate that you have asymmetry between your masculine and
feminine scores.
Keep in mind that regardless of your gender both masculine and feminine strengths can
be developed providing more options for problem solving.
Every individual and team will benefit by becoming more versatile having a high
V-FactorTM is particularly useful to anyone wanting to participate in a mixed gender
teams effectively.
The V-FactorTM score applies at the individual and collective level.
Pursuing a higher V-FactorTM will help an individual or team
To break through stereotypes
To open options for problem solving
To foster gender equity and full inclusion
