Now that you’ve assessed your partnering quotient (PQ), you’ll want to determine your strengths and weaknesses in terms of forming a partnership. This information can be used as a predictive tool to raise your awareness and prevent you from neglecting trouble spots of the partnership that will cause you problems later on. Or it can be used as a diagnostic tool to help you determine why your partnership isn’t working as well as you had hoped.
To help determine how you rank in the Six Partnering Attributes (high, medium, or low) as measured on the PQ Assessment (Assessment 1), use the Attribute Analysis (Assessment 2) to align the thirty statements with the specific attributes they support. By completing the Attribute Analysis and plotting your scores on the PQ Profile (see Figure 2), you will gain new insight into the strengths you bring to a partnership—and also areas of weakness where you may want to take some preventive action.
