Day 270: corporatespeak

Today some bigwigs from corporate visited our tiny satellite office in an effort to get a better understanding of the work we're doing and whether the cultures and values of SAIC are reflected in our morale.

Translated from Corporatespeak to English, that basically means they wanted to do some testing on us.

As per their suggestion (orders), we were all given the "Strength Development Inventory" Test, a questionnaire that in the end was supposed to be able to pinpoint what our motivation style is, and how it is we react to conflict. While I don't believe any 20 question fill-in-the-blank will really delve deep into the psyche of what drives us, I figured we didn't have a choice and simply went with the flow.

After answering some basic inquiries on what motivates us and how we manage dealing with difficult colleagues, we figured out our results by counting some numbers on some lines, placing some dots here and there on a triangle and pinpointing which part of the triangle spectrum we fell under. I ended up being characterized as demonstrating the traits of someone who can be described as cautious-supportive. In other words, I have:
-Concern for affirming and developing self-sufficiency in self and others
-Concern for thoughtful helpfulness with regard for justice

I can't tell...is that a good thing or a bad thing?
