Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Names which tasks appeal and asks the supervisor whether more of that kind can be included in the work.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Shapes the own set of tasks in consultation so that drivers and work coincide, and substantiates that with examples.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Designs work and roles in the organisation so that people's drivers are matched to tasks, and reviews that periodically.
sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
