What the report includes
Scores on all eight circumplex octants from Assured-Dominant (PA) through Gregarious-Extraverted (NO), each with a population percentile and 90% confidence range against the published reference sample (Markey & Markey, 2009; N = 501). A graphical circumplex plot showing your angular location and vector length (interpersonal intensity). Dominant style classification and clinician interpretation guide.
The circumplex structure means your interpersonal style is described not as a category but as a location in continuous two-dimensional space — which direction you lean (angular position) and how strongly you lean there (vector length from center).
