motivation to serve. The other end of the range indicates a desire to remain somewhat distant from others and focus more on being “on task” and “on time.” - Belief in Others (BO): Measures an individual’s skepticism or trust in customers, fellow
employees, and ‘management’.

Those scoring higher believe that each setback is a learning opportunity. Those scoring lower tend to see problems more as obstacles to achievement.
