opq32 (preferences)
The opq32 covers 33 key 'preference for' areas that are grouped into three critical areas;
relationships with people, thinking style and feelings & emotions.
The results are shown in a scale of 1 to 10. opq32 does not provide a pin-point on the scale but a range with a mid-point. There are only five mid-points that fall outside the 3 to 8 range indicating strong preferences worth drawing out here for attention.
