We created the Personal Blueprint Inventory (PBI) to help you understand how well you handle important work and personal relationship situations.

We are testing this updated version of the PBI and would like feedback on the accuracy of the interpretations from those who complete the inventory. You can take the PBI for free in exchange for your evaluation.

The PBI is based on Attachment Theory. Instead of just telling you your attachment style, it explains how your attachment-related behaviors show up in 14 different situations—7 from your personal life and 7 from your work life. These situations were chosen because they often lead to problems when not managed well.

Some examples of these situations include:

• Feeling sensitive to judgment in personal relationships
• Handling conflict in personal relationships
• Control of others at work
• Balancing emotions with tasks at work

The PBI will show you:

• How you compare to others in these 14 situations
• How your behaviors help you achieve your own definition of success and peace of mind, or how they might lead to situations you want to avoid
• Specific behaviors you may want to improve

Your results are private. You will receive a randomly generated ID number to identify your responses, and we cannot trace your information back to you. Please keep this number safe and print the output. If you lose this ID, you will not be able to re-access your results.

The PBI has four parts:

• Demographic information that cannot identify you, used for research purposes
• An inventory of 180 questions that you will answer using a 5-point scale for each question
• Interpretations based on your answers
• Your feedback on how accurately the PBI describes you, by filling out an evaluation form provided at the end of your results

When taking the inventory, remember there are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to help you understand yourself better. Here are some tips for answering the questions:

• Focus on the context given at the start of each question (e.g., "in personal relationships" or "at work").
• Answer quickly without overthinking.
• Respond based on how you actually behave, not how you think you should behave.
• If your thoughts and actions differ in a specific situation, answer base on your actions.

Only you will see your results, so be as honest as possible.

The PBI takes about 40 minutes to complete.

Remember, this information is for you alone. No one else can access your results without your written permission. If you allow us to identify you, we will only use your information in a confidential manner. We do not sell or use your personal information for marketing purposes.

If you need any special accommodations to take the inventory, please contact us through the PBI website.

You can fill out the PBI on your cell phone, but we suggest using a laptop, desktop, or tablet instead. The inventory, interpretations, and evaluation form have a lot of information that's much easier to read and complete on a larger screen.
