The Profiling Process
The first step in the profiling process is to have an individual complete a Communication Survey. This self-report adjective inventory usually takes between 7-10 minutes to complete. Processing the report takes only a few minutes more. The Communication Profile is a powerful, insightful, and easy-to-understand report presented in positive and non-technical language. Responses are processed via 14,000 mathematical calculations to determine the individual's most favored behavioral pattern, the High Trait, and the least favored behavioral pattern, the Low Trait. These responses ultimately depict the person's Low Trait. The other two trait categories are represented "intensities" somewhere within the range created by the High and Low Traits.

The Communication Profile Report describes an individual's unique combination of five primary behavioral dimensions:

• Dominance
• Extroversion
• Conformity
• Conscientiousness
• Patience

The Communication Profile is written in clear, easy-to-understand language. No obscure psychological terminology interferes with your ability to discuss the report with the candidate. The Communication Profile provides highly accurate insight into the candidate's personality and behavioral tendencies. Over 90% of all people profiled by Drake P3™ rate their personal profiles as over 90% accurate.

The Drake P3 technology conforms to the ongoing compliance procedures of the EEOC.
