Interpreting Your Results
Your "perspective" score was 4 and your "control" score was 3. This means you have scored in the "Captain
And Commander / Autocrat" quadrant.
Your answers indicate that you have a healthy balance of perspective and control. You are "on your game"!


On the positive side, you are Captain and Commander. Your focus gives you effectiveness and your
implementation and follow-through give you efficiency. By managing to keep your world collected, processed,
organized and reviewed, you maneuver with agility and flexibility


On the developmental side, you could be something of an Autocratsimply because the power that comes
from mastering the control/perspective game could make you vulnerable to a sense of complacency; you
might think it will always be this way. That may to some degree be true, but somehow your world will still
manage to be a consistent source of surprise. And those tend to get bigger, as you take on more
responsibility.


The challenge that you face is more about fine-tuning the practices that you already (at least to some degree)
have in place. Your improvement opportunity is to pay attention to the more subtle aspects of your work and
life. Once you pay attention to what has your attention, you'll discover what really has your attention. As long
as there is anything pulling or pushing on your consciousnessno matter how subtlethere will be an
opportunity to practice and refine your facility with perspective and control. Are there things you should be
doing to stretch "out of the box?" Are there things you ought to be learning, to keep yourself fresh and on your
game?


Remember, it is not about what quadrant you are in - it's about knowing how to move from where you are to
where you want to be. GTD can help. More information about the quadrants is also availablehere.
