Influence Style Indicator
About the Influence Style Indicator
The Influence Style Indicator (ISI) defines influence as “the interpersonal behaviours that we use to have a positive impact on another party’s choices.”
Using this definition, the Influence Style Indicator measures an individual’s preferred styles as they influence others. The assessment assesses the respondent’s dominant and under-utilised influencing styles, also how to identify others’ preferred styles.
