The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) identifies the underlying thoughts and motivations that guide an individual's behaviour. These are often referred to as personal styles, management styles and leadership styles, these represent the essence of an individual's effectiveness.

The quality of an individual's thinking and behaviour contributes greatly to that person's work performance. Fortunately, your people have the power to change ineffective thinking and behaviour - the kind that can paralyse an individual's effectiveness. But first they need to know if what they're doing now is supporting or detracting from quality performance.

The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) was developed by Human Synergistics and is designed to:

• measure current behaviours, skills and performance
• identify strengths and development opportunities
• highlight barriers to personal effectiveness
• develop more productive behaviours and skills
• monitor change and improvement over time

Human Synergistics, Life Style Inventory II provides feedback from other people. Do they see the same qualities as the individual sees in themselves? An individual's self-perception may be very different from the way others would describe their behaviour. Using Life Style Inventory II can be a more accurate assessment of strengths - as well as areas for improvement. Life Style Inventory I and II is not an appraisal tool, it is a diagnostic and development tool. It is a way of understanding current behaviours so that they can be improved, it is not saying that individuals are incapable of changing. It works on the premise of: Awareness - Acceptance - Actions

The LSI assessment tool can be used as a diagnostic tool to ascertain leadership development needs in your organisation.  Additionally this psychological assessment tool is frequently used by the Metamorphosis HR consultants at the commencement of executive coaching programs to understand triggers and needs of the coachee.
