Risk Type Compass® Group Report

This Risk Type Compass® report has been designed to explore the group’s predisposition to risk and their capacity to manage the risks involved in their work role. Two key factors determine a person’s

approach to risk. Firstly, there are aspects of their natural temperament that will establish their general

reaction to any kind of risk or uncertainty (Risk Type). Secondly, an individual’s experience and personal

circumstances can influence a person’s attitude towards different types of risk (Risk Attitude). These two

factors have been explored through completion of the Risk Type Compass® questionnaire and everything that follows in this report is based on the group’s responses to those questions.

The Risk Type Compass® Group Report contributes to our understanding of: »» the diversity amongst individual Risk Types »» the degree to which team members are like-minded »» the distribution of individuals over the spectrum of Risk Types »» the overall ‘weight’ of Risk Type influence on group dynamics »» the degree of alignment between risk orientation and group objectives »» the potential for interpersonal misunderstanding within the group This report also includes further analysis of the group dynamic from each group member’s perspective (Part 2B - Individual Profiles). The report includes more detailed information about the likely influence

of personality characteristics on the group’s attitude to risk. Details of potentially positive and negative influences are provided for each of the Risk Types evident in this group (Part 2C - Risk Type Strengths and Weaknesses).

This report is based on Risk Type personality profiling only and does not draw from information about the specific roles of those included in the assessment. The resource material described above is intended

to facilitate further group development activities designed to explore these results in the context of the function and seniorty of this group.

Introduction

Understanding this Report

Risk Type

This Risk Type Compass® assessment places the individuals of the group into one of eight Risk Types.

Their Risk Type reflects their temperament and natural disposition with regard to risk – to what extent

they are, for example, naturally adventurous and optimistic as opposed to being cautious and anxious

about uncertainty, or to what extent they plan things carefully or act on impulse. Temperament is deeply

rooted and will influence how much risk the group is willing to take, how much uncertainty they can cope with and how they react when things go wrong. As with all personality measures, there are potential advantages and disadvantages associated with each Risk Type.

Risk Attitude

As a result of personal experience and their circumstances, the group’s Risk Attitude may vary somewhat from situation to situation. For example, previous experience with sports might influence their willingness to take recreational risk, as would their age and general health. To give you a feel for the way that the

group’s capacity to deal with different kinds of risk has developed, this report highlights the variability in their Risk Attitude across five important areas of risk-taking.

Risk Tolerance

Taken together, consideration of the group’s Risk Type and Risk Attitude will guide you to a better

understanding of their current Risk Tolerance and allow you to take this into account when discussing

work place issues. The key to effective use of this report is to appreciate that Risk Type is an aspect of

temperament, deeply rooted and stable over time, while Risk Attitude will fluctuate as a consequence of

experience and personal circumstances. This Risk Type Compass® report will give you the opportunity to

review these issues thoroughly and to make informed decisions about the group’s suitability for particular roles.

Introduction

Understanding this Report

Risk Type Definitions Spontaneous: This Risk Type is impulsive and attracted to risk but distressed if things go wrong. They

are emotional and react strongly to disappointment. They may enjoy the spontaneity of making unplanned decisions but, not being well organised, they may not gather enough information to make good decisions.

Intense: This Risk Type is anxious about risk and uncertainty. Their self-doubts lead them to expect the

worst. Their decisions and commitments are invested with emotion; they feel things strongly and take failures personally. Their mood can vary between today’s enthusiastic endorsements to tomorrow’s critical rejection.

Wary: Combining self-discipline and anxiety about risk, these well organised people put security high on the agenda. Pessimistic and alert to the risk of an investment before appreciating potential benefits, they fear that, however well it worked for others, something may go wrong for them.

Prudent: This Risk Type is organised, systematic, and conforming. Conservative and conventional, they

prefer continuity to variety, like operating within familiar procedures and prefer change to be gradual and evolutionary. Generally cautious about new ventures, they find reassurance in sticking to what they know.

Deliberate: This Risk Type is calm, self-confident, cautious and experience little anxiety. Any lack of risk

awareness is balanced by a desire to do things in a planned and systematic way. Being highly organised, compliant and usually fully informed, they are unlikely to walk into anything unprepared.

Composed: This Risk Type is composed and self-confident. Cool-headed, calm and unemotional, their

outlook will always be optimistic and untroubled. These people take everything in their stride, seem quite imperturbable and appear to manage stress very well.

Adventurous: This Risk Type is impulsive but fearless. They combine a deeply constitutional calmness with impulsiveness and a disregard for custom, tradition or convention. They are imperturbable and seemingly oblivious to risk.

Carefree: This Risk Type is excitement seeking, impulsive and unconventional. They dislike repetitive routines and being told what to do. Exposed to hasty decisions by being impatient, distractible and sometimes reckless, they are not good at detailed preparation and may seem rather vague about their objectives.

Part 1: Group Profile Interpretive Group Description

Introduction to Interpretation

Here we describe the group drawing on the main conclusions of the assessment process. This is a generalised

interpretation intended as a basis for more detailed examination of different possibilities and ‘what if’ scenarios. A process of further analysis will be facilitated by the Resource Material in Part 2 of this report. The group synopsis

below is based on an analysis of the Group Risk Profile, Risk Type Influence in the group and the group’s overall Risk Tolerance.

FORMULATION

The following observations are descriptive rather than prescriptive, identifying main group themes but not their suitability or otherwise for the roles played by the group.

This is a moderately diverse, multi-facetted team, with a balanced outlook towards risk. None of the group are at the

extreme of their Risk Type and the group dynamic is further stabilised by those at the centre of the compass; described as ‘Typical’. Group members tend to balance equally either side of the Intense/ Composed axis of the compass, and

to group towards the Composed end of it. This suggests that they should have a generally positive, ‘can do’ outlook.

They are likely to be more aware of the opportunities arising in any situation than to be anxious or inhibited about

exploring fresh options. The group will be characterised by a consensual optimism that should provide the roots for

group harmony and provide a positive and constructive momentum in approaching any challenges. The group should

be resilient in terms of its capacity for coping with change, working under pressure and maintaining its composure when things go wrong.

There is a distinct balance along the Prudent/ Carefree axis of the compass. The group is equally divided between the risk takers and the more risk averse. On the one hand, there are those who will be alert to ambiguity and uncertainty and who are more disposed towards convention and the status quo. This faction will have a preference for following established procedures and, although not necessarily averse to innovation, they will wish to approach things in a

prudent and systematic way. On the other hand, there is a constituency within the group for radical thought and a

readiness to ‘think outside the box’. Together, the combination of these two forces has the potential to provide the ingredients for a measured but creative approach.

The elements of Risk Type unrepresented within this group concern a passionate intensity associated with the Intense

Risk Type, which also influences the Wary and Spontaneous Risk Types. These Risk Types tend to invest emotionally in any mission they commit to and would share a concern about any dramatic or sudden change and a need to approach things in an incremental, step-by-step manner. These can be valuable contributions to the advocacy of any cause but would also tend to restrain any fast moving developments. From the perspective of this group, recognition of these

omissions should be regarded as an indication of its comparatively strong propensity for risk taking and be taken on board as a contribute to group self-awareness.

Part 1: Group Profile Interpretive Group Description

This report considers the group Risk Type Compass profile from four different perspectives to facilitate

consideration of the social dynamics and functioning of this group. The four graphics provided below offer

different ways of interpreting the comprised group data. Each graphic offers a related but unique perspective, which in conjunction with individual Risk Type distribution also considers Risk Type influence, mean group Risk Type (Centre of Gravity) as well as combined Risk Type and Risk Attitude scores (RTi). The following pages explore each of these graphics in detail.

Part 1: Group Profile A - Group Risk Profile

How to Read the Group Scattergram

Analysis here should consider five key areas; convergence, diversity, factions, under representation and dominance:

CONVERGENCE: MODERATE

Convergence is concerned with similarity of Risk Type amongst the participating individuals; the degree

of their dispersal around the Compass and the extent to which group members cluster around a particular segment or Risk Type. Analysis of the Group Risk Profile indicates that there is a moderate amount of

convergence across the Compass, concentrated within five neighbouring Risk Types tending towards the more optimistic and resilient parts of the spectrum.

FACTIONS: TWO TYPES

This is concerned with separate and distinctive clusters within the wider dispersal of individuals in

the group. By combining and reinforcing each other they may exert particular influence; establishing

a constituency for a particular set of risk taking behaviours. Opposing views each pulling in their own

direction create a potential for tension (which is not necessarily a bad thing) or conflict (which may be

more problematic). Group transparency and awareness of the root source of those tendencies within Risk Type dispositions helps to avoid misperception and overly personalising those view points.

Within this group, members cluster significantly around the Prudent/Deliberate (three members) and

within the Adventurous Risk Type (two members). These are not opposite Risk Types and none of them are extreme examples of their Risk Type, so any differences in outlook should not be exaggerated. On the one hand, there is a broadly bold and enterprising faction; confident about breaking new ground,

challenging conventions and embracing innovation. On the other hand, there is a more cautious faction; not necessarily afraid of risk but preferring a more systematic approach. Differences between the two

may arise in the scope and novelty of solutions considered and the expected levels of preparation and attention to detail. Recognition and appreciation of such Risk Type differences will help to maintain effective working relationships and to maximise the potential of the diversity within the team.

UNDER REPRESENTATION: THREE TYPES

It is also important to consider the absence or under-representation of Risk Type in the profile. The

biggest absence in this group is of individuals who favour caution, wear their hearts on their sleeves and

become emotionally invested in their commitments. This tendency towards being emotional and sensitive is particularly influenced by the Intense, Spontaneous and Wary Types, which are not represented.

DOMINANCE: NONE

The degree to which any individual represents their Risk Type differs considerably. Strength of Risk

Type is designated on a scale from ‘very mild’ to ‘very strong’. Stronger Risk Types being more likely to

influence the group culture. Analysis of this Group Risk Profile indicates that influence is widely dispersed around the Composed quadrant of the compass and that no single Risk Type dominates.

Part 1: Group Profile A - Group Risk Profile

GRAPHIC A: GROUP SCATTERGRAM

In this graphic, the marker (•) denotes which of the eight Risk Types best fits each individual’s disposition towards risk. The nearer it is to the outside edge, the more relevant that type description will be for them as they are stronger representations of that Risk Type. Similarly, milder types are more diluted, so it is

important to take type strength into account. The Risk Type Compass® is a continuous spectrum, with each type sharing some characteristics with its neighbours and with facing types being opposites.

Part 1: Group Profile

C - Centre of Gravity

GRAPHIC C: CENTRE OF GRAVITY

This group is composed of five different Risk Types dispersed within the compass to create a well-defined spectrum of risk taking dispositions. The ‘centre of gravity’ for the group as a whole is defined by the

average of the scores for individuals that comprise the group; the scores that determine the location of each within the compass. This graphic therefore provides another lens through which to consider the likely behaviour and performance of the group.

Of course, there will be other factors to consider in understanding the details of group dynamics (relative

seniority or status and other individual characteristics), but Risk Type will nevertheless be a pervasive and persistent influence. There are both advantages and disadvantages to any Risk Type disposition and the art of team development is to recognise and manage both sides of this equation effectively.

GROUP RISK TYPE: Composed TYPE STRENGTH: Weak

At the root of the Composed Risk Type are high levels of poise, self-belief, optimism and resilience. Being unemotional, the most extreme examples may seem aloof and quite imperturbable. Although others may

be unsettled or close to panic, this type remains steady and patient and shows little sign of anxiety. An

oasis of calm and apparently almost oblivious to risk, they seem self-contained, unreceptive to criticism or restraint and unappreciative of the alarm that others may experience in that situation.

Page 11 © Copyright Psychological Consultancy Limited, 2012, all rights reserved.

01

Part 1: Group Profile C - Centre of Gravity

At a more general level, this type will always be relatively untroubled, and more even-tempered than most.

They seem to take whatever life throws at them and maintain a positive outlook. Even when things go

wrong, they don’t dwell on regrets, harbour grudges or bear resentments. The Composed Type manages stress well, rides out any turbulence and stays on-task. Not reckless, but not averse to risk either, this type keep its nerve and see things through.

Within a group context these characteristics will be diluted by the diversity of group members. However,

to the extent that these qualities are reflected in group output, appearances or communications, this ‘sum of the group component parts’ may characterize the group to outsiders and would contribute to their reputation in the wider organisation.

Risk Awareness

The group will not be overly anxious about taking risk or concerned to resolve all the uncertainties

associated surrounding a task. They will tolerate more ambiguity than most and be able to operate

effectively and quickly before every facet or detail has been resolved. However, they should be very

aware of the organisational challenges implied by any strategy and be able to realise their more creative aspirations through careful planning.

Reaction to risk

This group is more risk taking than most and will typically rise to a challenge and welcome the

opportunity to consider a wide variety of possible solutions. This group will be opportunistic in tending

to associate risk with opportunity until proved otherwise, but also well grounded in realising the potential impact on other stake-holders.

Decision-making

Unlikely to accept lack of precedent as a reason for inaction, they will not endlessly delay a decision in the hope that absolute and definitive information will emerge to guarantee an outcome. Their ability to combine innovation and careful planning should contribute to the effective management of risk when standard procedures or expectation have failed to deliver.

Part 1: Group Profile D - Group Risk Tolerance

Overall Rating for Risk Tolerance

Risk Tolerance Index (RTi), an estimate of tolerance for risk is based on an individual’s Risk Type, the strength of their Risk Type and their attitudes to different kinds of risk.

GRAPHIC D: GROUP RISK TOLERANCE INDEX

The group’s position on the Risk Type Compass® defines the average RTi across all group members, and the extent to which their attitude varies for different types of risk situations defines their Comfort Zone.

This, coupled with each individual’s risk tolerance, is represented in the graphic below.

The mid-point of the solid bar in this RTi graphic marks the average level of risk tolerance associated with the Risk Type rating for the group. The length of the bar indicates the average variability in Risk Tolerance suggested by differences in Risk Attitude across the five risk domains.

Validity of results

The group’s responses to the items on the Risk Type Compass® Consistency Scale indicate that the profile is valid and interpretable.

Part 1: Group Profile E - Development Plan

Positive Risk Management (PRM)

PRM is an approach which recognises; a) that every individual has a natural and deeply rooted

disposition towards risk; their Risk Type, b) that risk-taking and risk-aversion are complimentary and of

equal value, c) that the appropriate degree of risk-aversion or risk tolerance depends on the task or role concerned, and the working context, and, d) the value of an agenda for awareness and appreciation of

different disposition towards risk at the individual and group levels based on these principles. Adopting a strategy of Positive Risk Management can improve individual, team and organisational effectiveness.

SOME OBJECTIVES TO CONSIDER: »» Promoting group self-awareness and an appreciation of where, collectively, the group stands; how this is likely to compare with other collaborating or client groups.

»» Highlighting and appreciating the positive contributions that each Risk Type has to offer. »» Understanding the downside implications of one’s own Risk Type; what one can contribute or take care of, and how other Risk Types might complement and compensate for them.

»» Being willing, in groups that are Risk Type diverse, to acknowledge and respect the integrity of other opinions and appreciate their deeper nature.

»» Developing conflict resolution strategies in diverse groups that take each individual’s unique personality style into account and acknowledge common purpose and objectives.

»» Developing a consciousness of subgroups or factions and being alert to the potentially disruptive effects, distortion of decision-making processes and achievement of consensus.

»» Recognising whether any particular Risk Type is playing too dominant a role in the group and to be mindful of the potential positive and negative implications of this.

»» Developing group self-awareness about gaps and over representation in Risk Type influence and awareness of any systemic bias in procedures and decision-making.

Part 2: Resource Material A - Socio Metric Implications

In this section we present detailed data and information designed to facilitate further exploration and

refinement of the analysis and to assist the group when working through the implications of this report to identify group development objectives.

The graphics below provide a more detailed view of the similarity between each person and the rest of

the group. The graphics highlight each individual’s position on the compass in relation to group members who they are most and least similar to in Risk Type, allowing for more detailed understanding of group dynamics.

Group members who are significantly similar in Risk Type are represented as open markers ( ) on the

graphic; group members significantly different in Risk Type are represented as crossed markers ( ); and the individual in question is represented as a red marker ( ).

Part 2: Resource Materials C - Risk Type Strengths and Weaknesses

This section is designed to support your further consideration about the likely implications of this group

profile. It highlights, for each Risk Type, some of the most common benefits and limitations. These points should be considered in the light of representation of each Risk Type within the group and its likely influence on group functioning and dynamics.

Deliberate (moderate influence)

The Deliberate Type represents a distinctive component of this group. This type has a moderate influence over the group’s dynamics.

The following points highlight the potential contributions of the Prudent Type to a team: »» This type offers a measured and precise approach to risk-taking in the group.

»» Though they are not unnerved by risk, they are still inclined to carefully consider things before making decisions.

»» They prefer clarity over ambiguity and their thorough approach can have an impact on group decision-making.

»» They are likely to be level-headed and calm during times of uncertainty.

»» Typically up-beat, even in difficult times they tend to bring a degree of optimism to the group.

The following points highlight the potential disadvantages of the Prudent Type to a team:

»» This type may be so self assured that they are unreceptive to other viewpoints within the group. »» They can be so thorough weighing up the pros and cons that they miss opportunities. »» Their ardent adherence to rules can delay group decision-making.

»» Their caution may mean that they miss key opportunities for wider experience.

»» Their calm, rational and methodical approach may come across as insensitivity to others.

Interaction:

»» The Deliberate Type would serve to compliment teams that are overwhelmed by some of the

more emotionally volatile, disorganised or impulsive Risk Types. The fearless, systematic and

level headed approach adopted by Deliberate types is particularly suited to working environments characterised by high responsibility, high stress and where the negative consequences for failure are high.

»» Their willingness to do the groundwork necessary to ameliorate risk and to take responsibility for the outcome will make them successful in arenas that would either disconcert the cautious, or defeat more impulsive types.

Opposite Type: Spontaneous

Part 2: Resource Materials C - Risk Type Strengths and Weaknesses

Adventurous (moderate influence)

The Adventurous Type represents a distinctive component of this group. This type has a moderate influence over the group’s dynamics.

The following points highlight the potential contributions of the Adventurous Type to a team: »» Excited by novelty, groups characterised by this type may welcome radical ideas and new experiences.

»» Calm and level-headed, they offer an element of resilience to a team, remaining composed even in extreme situations.

»» Taking everything in their stride, groups with a high proportion in this type are adaptable and can cope with the unexpected.

»» Straight forward to deal with, they don’t hold grudges or dwell on past events.

»» Being optimistic, teams governed by the Adventurous Type are quick to find alternatives despite setbacks.

»» Their impulsive, freewheeling nature allows them to make quick decisions.

The following points highlight the potential disadvantages of the Adventurous Type to a team: »» Groups characterised by this type can be impulsive and capable of rash decisions. »» Their confidence may make them prone to unrealistically optimism.

»» At times they may seem almost oblivious to the level of risk they are taking.

»» Being self-assured but impulsive, groups with a high proportion in this type may miss vital detail or new information.

»» Impetuous and unpredictable, they may neglect to evaluate the possible consequences.

»» Teams weighted towards this type are not always attentive or receptive to advice from others. »» They may have a casual approach to rules and procedures.

»» Probably somewhat disorganised in their affairs, they may struggle with the detail. »» They can be impatient with bureaucracy and repetitive or routine tasks.
