Townsend Interpersonal Communication Inventory

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:00:00 -0600

This report applies your results from the Townsend Interpersonal Communication Indicator® (TICI®) assessment to help you identify what your primary and secondary love languages are and how your reported communication preferences relate to others. Knowing your emotional language, and learning about your partners, can help you appreciate the strengths and uniqueness that both of you bring to the relationship, understand how these special qualities combine in the most optimal and rewarding way, and ensure that efforts at a constructive relationship remains productive. The TICI tool was developed by Gary Townsend and Michelle Townsend and is based on Gary Chapman's Five Love Languages interpersonal communication model.

But sometimes, were assuming a bit too much.

Townsend Personality Questionnaire (TPQ®) is developed specifically for both personal development as well as the workplace. Unlike most assessments that are based on theories of personality that have resulted from one particular psychologist's theory and opinion about human nature, the TPQ® is based on the Five-Factor model - a concept that it is founded on the idea that five main factors are necessary and sufficient for broadly describing human personality.

A trait is any distinguishable, relatively enduring way in which one individual varies from another (Guilford, 1959). Currently the most popular approach among psychologists for studying personality traits is the Five-Factor model or Big Five dimensions of personality. The five factors
were derived from analyses of a large number of self- and peer reports on personality-relevant adjectives and questionnaire items.

The following are some of the important characteristics of the five factors (Howard & Howard, 2000). First, the factors are dimensions, not types, so people vary continuously on them, with most people falling in between the extremes. Second, the factors are stable over a 45-year period beginning in young adulthood.
