An operating style assessment reveals aspects of an individual's operating style. Operating style includes a plurality of dimensions, and each dimension has a plurality of categories corresponding to personality types. One dimension is thinking strategy. At least one of the categories is a drive. A scoring method includes comparing a difference between sums of numerical values representing answers to questions within a dimension to a threshold associated with the dimension to determine which category of the dimension an individual fits in. Other assessments include locus of control, interpersonal skills, and nonverbal skills. Assessments may be administered through the Internet, and results of assessments may be accessible by employers.
