The Measure of Your Team’s Preferences.

· The graph provides both valuable insight and helpful information. Looking at the graph, you will note:

· In each set of variables, one bar is longer than the other or prevalent, and the other bar is shorter or secondary.

· The shorter the secondary side, the more similar your team is in its prevalent preference. 

· When the sides are of equal length, your team has more balance in relation to its preference.

· The team members’ aggregated scores are represented as percentages.

· The count indicates the number of team members who chose each preference.

· The team leader's preferences are indicated by bolding the count.
