Character-Based Communication

Thank you for taking the Kendall Life Languages Profile™ (KLLP™). We have no doubt it can help you to truly understand yourself and others and be more successful in all your communication.

Your Overall Intensity: Moderate (63)

Your Intensity Level is MODERATE. The Intensity score reveals the strength, energy and passion shown in communication. The higher the Intensity score, the higher the drive to communicate. High Intensity is often an indication of someone who will fight for their opinion to be considered and to exercise control, (whether directly or indirectly) and will do more to maintain communication and relationships. They may also be more prone to conflict. High Intensity persons tend to draw attention, which can create an image of an individualistic personality. Lower Intensity scores indicate those who generally do not compete to be heard, although they may have valuable contributions to make and are sometimes overlooked or ignored. The chart above gives your intensity on each language as well as your overall intensity.

Language Intensity

Each Life Language has it’s own individual intensity. The strength of the intensity score reveals the level of energy for that specific Life Language. In the final anaylsis, overall intensity score is more of a determinant on the forcefulness of an individual’s communication.

Gap

Gap is the distance between two different Life Languages. We measure the gap between the nearest two Life Languages. The greater the gap, the more effort it takes to move from one Life Language to the other. The smaller the gap, the easier it is to move between the two Life Languages.

Your Accumulated Range: Low

Your RANGE SCORE is considered LOW. The RANGE GAP between your primary and secondary language scores is considered LOW. Range is the difference between your Primary and Seventh Life Languages. A high or low score is neither better nor worse, though very meaningful. A High Range means that the individual tends to stand out in his or her Primary language and has a more definable behavior and communication style; however, that individual may have more difficulty communicating with those who speak his or her weaker languages.A Low Range may mean that the individual tends to communicate easily with all the languages, but may be less predictable and understandable to others, and sometimes even to themselves. The failure to understand range is one of the primary causes of communication difficulties. You will also want to look at the range (gap) between each language and how the range increases with each descending language to give you the above score.

Your Primary Life Language: Mover 63 (Moderate) KendallLife LanguagesProfile™

JENNIFER HOWELL- 02/10/2016 ©Life Languages Institute, Inc.

Mover Summary – Kinetic Category

Movers are characterized by being direct, assertive, pioneering, having integrity, courage, passion, are persuasive, intuitive, protective and a standard bearer. Your KLLP™ indicates you are a Moderate Mover. This means that you will have some of the Mover characteristics, some of the time, especially when you choose to access them.

Moderate Movers can be direct and assertive when the need arises. You are probably physically and mentally agile and alert. When the situation calls for it, you

are ready to move into action.

You have strong convictions and standards in most areas of your life. The inner character and motives of others are important to you. You attempt not to ask or require more of others than you require of yourself. The higher your Mover score is, the more of a risk taker and innovator you will be. You are good at expressing your beliefs, desires, and opinions, as well as putting them into action. When you believe in something, you have both the inclination and the ability to get involved. When needed, you can take charge or lead.

Because you can be assertive when you choose to be, you may find yourself occasionally impatient with those who are slower to act or make decisions.

There are times when you are a visionary who can be innovative and bold. And when it is important to you, you can show courage for the things and people you care about. You have many of the excellent Mover characteristics, which will serve you well on your road to success in life.

The Mover Icon

Each icon reveals the story of that Life Language. You will see the characteristics designed within the picture. If the icon was all you had, you could study it and understand a great deal about the particular communication style of that Life Language.

■ Name – The way the Mover name is written on the icon indicates how this Life Language does in careers and relationships. The Mover name is written like a roller coaster, going through the adventures of ups and downs. Movers generally persevere until they reach their goals. Healthy Movers tend to learn from every season of ups and downs and can look over their past experiences, and identify how they have grown through the changes and how they have found success.

■ Category – In the center of the icon is a small hand holding a hammer. This signifies the Kinetic or Action Category. A Mover’s life is filled with action. Inactivity, or all talk and little action, usually frustrates them. Movers can be very direct and hard-hitting, like a hammer. They impact those around them to improve character, effectiveness, values, standards, and the actions of themselves and others.

About 7% of the population speaks Mover as their Primary Life Language.



■ Flag – Flags are often used to send signals, and Movers send signals through their facial expressions, eyes, and actions. They are usually direct and honest; and seldom phony. They are typically not good at having a “poker face.”

■ Light Bulb – On the flag the light bulb is symbolic of Movers being creative, idea people. They seem to have a new idea minute-by-minute - fresh, innovative ways to start something new or improve on something existing. They are also quite visionary.

■ Staff – The staff is holding the flag and is often referred to as a standard. Movers are standard bearers. They hold or raise the standards of behavior and performance, motivating, and if necessary, provoking others and themselves to a higher level.

■ Bugle – The bugle symbolizes “leading the charge.” Movers are pioneers, innovators, risk takers, and adventurers. And, you will often find them out in front, leading by example.

■ Color– "Fire Engine" (or "Emergency") Red is the Mover color, which is the hottest in the color spectrum.

Mover Keys for Success

Mov

er

Filter “What’s your motive?”

Need Action & Congruency

Passion To Innovate

Key Character Strength Courage

FilterEach Life Language has an invisible filter that screens incoming and outgoing communication. This invisible filter is like wearing colored glasses and since the Mover’s color is Red; imagine that you see the world through a red (or rose-colored) filter. The Mover's Filter is, “What is your motive?” Movers, by their very nature, inspect the purity of an individual’s motive, or if there is a hidden agenda. Movers look for the reason (whether good or bad) for the action and congruity between words and actions. This is a perceptive, innate, intuitive ability that is very valuable in both personal and professional relationships. As a Mover, you can choose to make a conscious paradigm shift and turn the filter question into a positive filter statement saying, “I will seek to understand your motive, not judge it.” This change in the Mover’s filter turns it into an opportunity to look for and expect the best in another person, to see and seek the best, not to form judgment against the person. The more the Mover matures, the more he or she realizes that others’ motives or agendas may be different but that doesn’t necessarily make them wrong.

Needs From Others – Action and Congruency Each Life Language has needs that are met through relationships, both personal and professional. When one’s needs are met, fulfillment and contentment are experienced. Movers feel loved, valued and motivated by receiving Action and Congruency from others. All talk and no action really frustrates Movers; they respond to action. Do things for them, do things with them, but just do something. They also feel valued when others are transparent. Remember, they don’t like phoniness, and really admire honesty, so when others are truly transparent, with no cards up their sleeves, Movers respond favorably! Movers also like to see Congruency in the lives of those around them - like their motto.” High Movers don't just want activity; they want productive, forward-moving accomplishments. Movers also like excitement, from mild, spur of the moment activities, to risk-taking activities - and they generally enjoy sharing these activities with others.



Passion – To Innovate Passion is the spark that makes your life worth living. There is a passion that motivates each Life Language and gives direction to their communication style. The Mover's Passion is To Innovate. This is their area of creativity. Movers consistently seem to have new and better ways to do things, as they are idea people and never satisfied with the status quo. Movers are gifted to see ways of improving existing methods and situations. Their innovative ability extends to developing ideas, methods, or procedures. This is the great leadership strength of Movers. These qualities make Movers valuable in any environment as leaders and pioneers.

Key Character Strength – CourageEach Life Language has many character strengths, but there is one that is the primary or Key Character Strength and generally most pronounced in that person. Courage is the Mover’s Key Character Strength. Courage is defined as “bravery and the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear or with their fear under control.”

Mover Needs for SuccessThe following trait and habit are indispensable to your overall success in life.

Essential Trait – Cultivate MaintenanceA trait is “a distinguishing characteristic or personal quality.” Each Life Language has an Essential Trait that is vital to the success of that Life Language. It is important for this trait to be developed and safeguarded in order for you to succeed.

The Essential Trait for you as a Mover is Maintenance, learning the value of maintaining what you have begun. Movers are fast-paced pioneers and innovators who enjoy making things happen. Generally one of their weaknesses is in maintaining projects once they are in place. Your success as a Mover will be greatly enhanced by mastering the Mover Essential Trait of Maintenance.

Success Habit – Develop the Spirit of a FinisherA habit is: “An acquired behavior regularly followed until it has become second nature, almost involuntary”. Each Life Language has a Success Habit that, when developed demonstrates maturity and healthy character that can create a positive difference in your life. The Success Habit for you as a Mover is: "Develop the Spirit of a Finisher." Movers are great starters, but to be truly successful it is necessary for Movers to slow down, pay attention to details, and finish what they start. Unless this habit is mastered, Movers can spend their lives working hard yet staying frustrated because the harder they work, the less they seem to accomplish. Movers, who develop the habit of seeing projects and goals through to completion, ensure a brighter future.

Career Information

Mover Leadership Style Every Life language can be a leader, but each does it differently. One Language’s Leadership Style is not more important or more successful than any other. There are seven LIFE Languages,™ and there are seven different Leadership Styles.

Movers are innovative, courageous leaders with excellent intuition. They are willing to identify and confront problems, bringing change, and accepting risks. Mover leaders are passionate, determined and both proactive and reactive. They expect action and results from others. Mature Mover leaders watch closely to make sure the standards are and remain high in their organization. Successful leaders hire people to fill and cover the weaknesses of the leader and to the strengths of each of the seven LIFE Languages,™ so



as not to over duplicate themselves. Movers are direct, open, and those under their leadership always know where they stand.

Cultural Philosophy“We will be successful as long as we are willing to change and grow, keep our standards high, take risks, and continuously out-work and out-think the competition.”

Movers as EmployeesMovers can also make great employees when they are in an environment that appreciates their unique gifting. They are idea people and naturally see new and better ways of doing things. They bring high energy and high standards to the organization. They will thrive where they are given the opportunity to grow, bring change, have room to innovate, and on occasion are shown that they are appreciated.

Example ProfessionsUnderstanding your Life Language Portrait should in no way limit you from exploring whatever profession you are drawn to. However, Movers are often found in the following: More entrepreneurs are Movers than any other Life Language. Movers like creating and controlling their own destiny, which fits with the adventure and risk-taking part of their personality. They are also Chief Executive Officers, supervisors, department heads, in military, in marketing, and in sales. They are in security and emergency professions like: police, fire, ambulance, life guards, ski patrol, emergency room nurses, and doctors. They are business owners, trial or litigation lawyers. They are also in construction and any outdoor professions that require action. Movers who work for others often have some activity and/or business on the side. Movers seem to excel in professions that require boldness, action, courage, fast decisions, ideas, vision, and leadership.

Fun Facts

Mover Color and MusicThere are seven colors in the color spectrum and seven whole musical notes. In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton united in one mathematical matrix the phenomena of light and sound, and it continues today as the color-music code. Colors vibrate and the measurement of the vibration corresponds with the vibration of the musical notes.

Mover Color – Red"Fire Engine," "Emergency" Red is the color associated with a bold, assertive, strong Life Language of a Mover. The color is not easily ignored, and the Mover Communication Style is not one to be ignored or overlooked.

Mover’s Core ValueA Core Value is the central, most important principle or standard characteristic for that particular Life Language. All the aspects of your Life Languages (your Filter, your Need, your Passion, and your Key Character Strength) come together to reveal what that Life Language values most. The

Core Value for the Mover Life Language is: JUSTICE (Meaning: fair dealing, honesty and integrity).

Mover’s Motto“If you don’t live it, you don’t believe it.”

Musical Note – C



C is a defining note and the first note on the music scale. By finding Middle C, one knows where to start playing the piano. Most Martial, March, Battle and Patriotic music is written in the key of C. The C note, like a Mover is defining and often the beginning, possibly of something big.

Nature Symbol – MustangThe Nature Symbol for the Mover Life Language is the "Wild" MUSTANG. Wild horses or mustangs, like Movers, are quick, intelligent, independent, surefooted, courageous, risk-takers, resilient, and very protective. They are somewhat untameable and unpredictable. When a wild horse is tamed, they usually do not pull wagons or plow fields. Some become excellent rodeo horses like team roping, cutting, steer wrestling, etc. Others win races. Some become champions. Some become leaders of the herd. And, some even become legends.

Doer Summary – Kinetic Category

Doers are often characterized by being dedicated, observant, diligent, practical, efficient, responsible, and trustworthy. Your KLLP™ indicates that you are a Moderate Doer. This means you will have some of the Doer characteristics some of the time, especially when you choose to cultivate them.

As a Moderate Doer you are in the Kinetic or Action Category, and are likely to respond with action and practicality in many situations, even if initially, you first experience things more

emotionally, cognitively, or forcefully. Because you are a Moderate Doer, you are one that others can count on as dependable and conscientious.

You have the ability to finish what you start when it is important to you. You may not like to have constant projects going like High Doers, but you do enjoy having something to do that can give you a sense of accomplishment.

You have the ability to be practical and pragmatic. Because of this, when necessary, you can rapidly sort through a lot of details and find the practical steps to accomplish a task. Even though you may see the big picture, you can break it down to a manageable scale.

You are a dedicated and loyal person, and that can extend not only to your work responsibilities but also to your relationships. You are faithful and loyal, and these characteristics can help make you a valuable friend or employee.

Your reaction to most situations is determined by your higher LIFE Languages,™ but remember that you can access and speak the Moderate Contemplator Life Language when needed in order to connect with someone who speaks Contemplator as his or her Primary Life Language.

You may structure some of your time and protect it because even if you enjoy being social, there may be times you just pull away to be alone and refreshed.

You have good reasoning abilities. You are inquisitive and like to collect information. You are probably a life-long learner - especially of things you are interested in.

You are generally loyal to employers, employees, friends, family, and traditions. You are valuable to any organization where your skills of thinking, information gathering, loyalty, and truth are important.

You should be able to communicate with High Contemplators with relative ease, as you learn to recognize when others are speaking this peaceful and calm Language.

Your Fifth Life Language: Producer 37 (Moderate) KendallLife LanguagesProfile™


Producer Summary – Cognitive Category

Producers are characterized by their management skills, graciousness, responsibility, philanthropy, resourcefulness, thoughtfulness, and hospitality. Your KLLP™ Portrait indicates that you are a Moderate Producer. This means that you will have some of the Producer characteristics some of the time, probably by choice and often without too much effort.

Resourcefulness is a strong character strength of Producers, and, as a Moderate Producer, you can be “creatively resourceful” when you choose to be, at times surprising even yourself. Moderate Producers rise to the occasion and become

valuable managers with a balanced management style.

The dissenting order of your Life Languages, the situation, and circumstances determine your generosity with money and resources. However, as a Moderate Producer, you may be selectively generous with your resources. Although you may not always look for the best buys, there will be times when you refuse to purchase something unless it is a quality product at a bargain price. Healthy Producers tend to be grateful for what they have, and treat both people and things with respect and care.

Generally in a marriage, the spouse who scores the highest in Producer is the one who gives direction to the finances, typically making good financial decisions. If that is not the case with you, remember that as a Moderate Producer, you do have it within yourself to develop this ability.

Only about three percent (3%) of those who have taken the KLLP™ speak Producer as their Primary Life Language. This is about the same percentage of the population that retires with financial dignity.

When you are speaking your Moderate Producer you can be quite responsible, hospitable and thoughtful. Of all the Life Languages, Producers manage their lives well, seem to have sufficiency, and live and give in abundance. Celebrate the fact that you are a Moderate Producer and can choose to speak this well-rounded, resourceful and gracious Life Language when you choose to!

Your Sixth Life Language: Influencer 32 (Low) KendallLife LanguagesProfile™


Influencer Summary – Emotive Category

Influencers are creative, optimistic, relational, persuasive, enthusiastic, and encouraging. Your KLLP™ shows you are a Low Influencer. This means you will innately have fewer of these characteristics than High Influencers. Those you do have will be because you have chosen to learn, develop, and enjoy them.

Low Influencers often do not have a great need for a variety of relationships and social activities. You may be enthusiastic, verbal, and excited about some things in life, but you may also enjoy some silence and not feel the need to fill it with

constant sounds and words.

Like any of the LIFE Languages,™ the positive characteristics of Influencers can be learned and acquired. Those who speak the Life Language of High Influencer will be more difficult for you to relate to and may require more effort on your part. As you seek to relate to the Influencers in your life, make a point to look beyond their fun-loving optimism and see the depth of substance they offer to you and others.

Knowledge and awareness of the Influencer Life Language will give you added depth and make it easier to communicate with them, thereby, improving your relationships. Remember, there are no LIFE Languages™ that you cannot communicate with if you choose to, because everyone speaks all seven LIFE Languages,™ in descending order. By learning to recognize the Influencer Life Language, you show honor and respect to them by communicating in their Life Language. That shows you are a person of character and demonstrates a positive dimension to your communication skills.

None of us can continuously communicate in our Low or Very Low LIFE Languages™ for a prolonged period of time without becoming weary, possibly experiencing burnout, and even losing a sense of our identity. However, we can choose to connect when appropriate and necessary to show respect and support to others.

Your Seventh Life Language: Responder 32 (Low) KendallLife LanguagesProfile™


Responder Summary – Emotive Category

Responders are typically characterized as being compassionate, passionate, sensitive, warm, protective, multifaceted, rescuing, and easy to communicate with. Your KLLP™ indicates that you are a Low Responder. This means you will have few, if any, of these characteristics naturally. Those you do have will be because of your life experiences or because you have chosen to develop them. Low Responders tend to be less emotional. If you share your feelings or are transparent, it is probably with only a limited few. You could seem or actually be insensitive to the feelings of others.

However, when a you are around very emotional people, even those who seem emotionally out of control, being a Low Responder helps you to not get too personally hooked into escalating emotions. Those who speak the language of High Responder may initially be more difficult for you to relate to, or will require more effort on your part. Remember, there are no Life Languages that you cannot communicate with if you choose to move into that Life Language. If you have someone close in your life who is a High Responder, you can call up your Responder character qualities in order to connect with them. None of us can continuously communicate in our Low or Very Low Life Languages for a prolonged period of time, but to connect and show love to another, we can choose to do it when necessary.

Communication Indicators

Just as a thermometer can indicate air or body temperature, the following factors give you further insight into your communication style. They do impact and play a role in your communication but do not determine your communication style. The following Indicators are scored High, Moderate and Low. These scales differ from your Seven LIFE Languages™ scales, as Indicators may change through life experiences and choices.

Indicator Score Result1. Acceptance Level 56 Moderate

2. Interactive Style Introvert 35 Low

3. Internal Control 43 Moderate

4. Intrusion Level 29 Low

5. Projective Level 70 High

6. Susceptibility To Stress 26 Low

7. Learning Preference Order

Physical 56 High

Visual 22 Moderate

Auditory 22 Moderate

1. Acceptance Level

This scale measures how you tend to view yourself, whether you more easily see your strengths and positive attributes or your weaknesses and negative qualities. Or whether you see a balance between the two—easily and honestly seeing both your negatives and positives qualities.

Your Acceptance Level - Moderate (56)

A Moderate Acceptance Level indicates that you tend to have a balanced awareness of yourself and accept and focus equally on your positive attributes as your negative attributes. You are probably not uncomfortable or especially troubled with either. Negative input about yourself by others, while you will not like it, will not shake your Acceptance. Positive input about yourself by others will be appreciated and enjoyed, but it will not typically change your Acceptance. If you see that you are focusing too much on the negative, you can easily make the adjustment and move your focus to the positive.

2. Interactive Style

This scale indicates how comfortable you are with people most of the time. The KLLP™ measurement of Introvert and Extrovert is somewhat different from other measurements; it measures preference rather than overall behavior. For example, it measures whether you prefer working alone or in groups, or working with



those you know or do not know. As another example, according to our measurements, a person who scores as an Introvert may seem outgoing and somewhat extroverted to those he or she knows well. However, with strangers or those not known as well, the Introvert will typically be less verbal, less outgoing, and not desire to mix with them.

Your Interactive Style – Introvert (35)

Your KLLP™ indicates that you are comfortable not being the center of attention unless you are with people you know well. You are comfortable working behind the scenes, and enjoy small groups (or one-on-one). Constantly being around a lot of people, especially those you do not know well, can be exhausting and you may withdraw to prevent stress. You also may be self-motivated and enjoy working alone; however, when working with groups, you prefer those you know well or people you are comfortable with.

3. Internal Control Level

This scale indicates how you see yourself in the area of self-discipline or self-governing vs. spontaneity or impulsiveness. Generally speaking, if we have high Internal Control, we are less prone to being externally controlled, either by others, circumstances, or experiences. Some people prefer to get tasks done ahead of schedule, and some seem to work better or more creatively doing things at the last minute under a time pressure. The higher our Internal Control, the more disciplined, and our lower the Internal Control the more flexible and spontaneous we are.

Your Internal Control Level – Moderate (43)

A Moderate Internal Control level suggests a relative balance between being self-governed and self-disciplined vs. spontaneous and flexible. This score indicates that you can choose to be self-disciplined when needed or to put aside tasks when appropriate, for example, when someone or a situation interjects itself. Maintaining a healthy balance in this area is probably relatively easy for you, and a goal all of us can seek.

4. Intrusion Level

This scale measures how you see yourself handling interruptions, intrusions, interference, outside stimuli, people, or situations foreign to you, usually uninvited or unexpected. Intrusion Levels indicates how comfortable and tolerant you are with distractions and differences. Some people like a more structured environment, and others flow more easily with uninvited or unscheduled people or situations. For all of us, a good habit to form is the ability to gently or kindly communicate when intrusions become an issue.

Your Intrusion Level - Low (29)

Your score indicates a lower level of comfort and tolerance for life as it is presented. Interruptions, intrusions, unexpected circumstances, and outside interferences tend to test your patience and may even be an irritation. Differences in others can be distracting, and you may want to guard yourself



against seeming impatient, critical, or sending unfavorable signals that appear to be judgmental. A Low Intrusion Level can help you to stay focused on tasks, but you may want to make sure you sincerely and gently express yourself without projecting a dismissive attitude that could be hurtful to another.

5. Projective Indicator

This scale indicates how important other’s perception and opinion is to you. For example: a person with a high projective score could be greatly concerned if others had a less than positive opinion of them. A person with a low score would probably shrug it off and not let it bother them. A balance between high and low is valuable because it provides objectivity so that you can evaluate others attitudes about yourself and thereby remain teachable.

Your Projective Level – High (70)

A High Projective Level indicates that you desire for others to like you, and you expect favor. If that does not occur, then you want them to them to at least respect you. When you experience or perceive indifference, disrespect, or dislike, you are typically stressed and troubled. If it is not handled quickly and appropriately, it can become distress. A person with a High Projective Level generally tries hard to please others, and because of this, could be somewhat easier to motivate and a good employee. Those with High Projective Level must guard themselves to be sure they don’t try to please everyone, thereby, being subject to burn out and/or peer pressure.

6. Susceptibility To Stress

This scale measures vulnerability to stress that comes into our lives. Stress is in all of our worlds, and comes from various sources, even from having too many good things going on at one time. We are more susceptible to stress when we are too busy, lacking sleep, not feeling well, fatigued, frustrated, lacking exercise, and even unable to express ourselves adequately. Failure to handle stress properly can cause us to move into one or more of the Distress Levels of our Life Languages. We can learn to recognize our stress and do what is necessary to de-stress. Distress, by Life Languages definition, is when you respond negatively to any situation.A key to avoid over reaction to stress and distress is H.A.L.T. Avoid stressful situation when your are: H-hungry, A-angry, L-lonely and T-tired.

Your Susceptibility To Stress – Low (26)

A low susceptibility to stress indicates that, when in stressful situations or when dealing with problems or crises you tend to remain calm rather than overly excited or even panicked. You most likely respond to challenging or unpleasant situations in a similar manner as you do under normal conditions. By allowing stress to pass over you, it is not likely to be a factor in causing you to descend into your Distress Levels. On the other hand, persons who have a Low Susceptibility to Stress may be less aware of danger and may not notice that something is different or amiss as a hyper-vigilant, High Susceptibility to Stress person would.



7. Learning Preference

There are three basic Learning Styles and our preferential way is the one that is easiest for us. We learn in all three ways, but when there is a choice, the one that is more natural, distinct, and clear will typically be our preference. It will usually be our most effective way to experience and sharpen our learning skills.

Your Learning Preference – Physical (56)

Your profile indicates that your learning preference is Physical. You learn best by participating, experimenting, or by watching someone show you how to do something. Often you may just start doing something that you have never done before and you learn by “doing” or experiencing the process. There are times when you figure something out without instructions, by jumping in and “learning as you go”. You tend to learn by using all you senses, as well as through actual involvement and hand-on activities. You probably easily grasp what you have seen and learn rapidly and accurately.

Applying the Seven LIFE Languages™ ™

We encourage you to read, reflect, study, and review your KLLP™ carefully. The more you understand the LIFE Languages™, the more ways you will find to apply them in your relationships. Typically, those who have LIFE Languages™ similar to our own are initially easier for us to communicate and get along with. However, learning to accept and understand the differences in each of the seven LIFE Languages™ can bridge those differences in our Languages. Those very differences can often bring balance and strength to relationships. Try to get together with others who have taken the KLLP™ to discuss and compare your LIFE Languages™ in positive, constructive ways. You will find this to be a great adventure.

When interacting with those who have not taken the KLLP™, remember that the two most frequently spoken LIFE Languages™ by both men and women are Responder (32% of the population) and Doer (28%). Producers are 3% of the population. The other three LIFE Languages™ represent about 10%-13% of the population. So until you get all your friends, family, and co-workers to take the KLLP™ for themselves, if you speak to most people as though they were either Responders or Doers, you probably will not be too far off.

Remember, Responders need unconditional acceptance, and Doers need approval for their accomplishments and for you to do your share of the work. You will be amazed at the changes that will take place if you simply address these two basic Filters and Needs in both children and adults in your life. They will blossom!

Another way to help you understand the communication style of others who have not taken the KLLP™ is try to determine their Category. Do they feel first (Emotive Category), think first (Cognitive Category), or act (Kinetic Category) first? Do they say things like: “I feel that this just isn’t the thing to do,” or “I think that we should consider...”, or “Let’s do it! Why stand around?” Once you have determined their Category, you can respond accordingly.

Take It to the next level. Fred and Anna Kendall cover each of the seven LIFE Languages™ in depth in their classic book, Speaking of Love. Learn how to recognize speakers of each of the LIFE Languages™ including their Distress Levels, how they might decorate their home and office, how they handle finances, how they respond romantically and intimately and much more. Once you have determined a person’s Primary LIFE Language,™ you can communicate with and inspire that person by responding to their Passion or Developmental Need.

An Influencer working for a High Shaper was in danger of being fired for appearing unorganized. Although she was producing good results, her boss thought she seemed too unpredictable. She began making a consistent effort to meet the Shaper boss’s need for agreement and support through long-term planning, projections, and documentation with timelines. Instead of being demoted, she received a salary increase.



She learned to speak his Language! At work A Mover Mom disciplined quickly and directly, often by spanking her six-year old Responder son. He usually became hysterical, angry, and resentful. In addition, her discipline was not changing his behavior. After reading Speaking of Love, this mother began consistently providing the Responder child with unconditional acceptance and affection and showing genuine grief when he misbehaved. Within 8 months, the child’s behavior was so improved that he would confess and occasionally punish himself with time-out.

Keep in mind there are occasions when the KLLP™ may not seem to fully reflect the way you see yourself, or the way others see you. One or more of the following reasons might explain why:

1. The person answering the questions experienced a recent trauma that impacted their answers.

2. The person answering the questions was doing a job that influenced their answers toward a profile consistent with that job.

3. The person answering the questions slanted the answers deliberately toward how they want to be seen or away from how they really are most of the time in most situations.

4. The person answering the questions has experienced a great deal of abuse in their life, and possibly has not dealt with it.

5. The person answering the questions lacks the reading comprehension and/or vocabulary to choose the answer that most fits them.

6. The person answering the questions does not know himself or herself in reality.

7. The person answering the questions went to one extreme or another—answering the questions with no thought, or giving them too much thought—causing an inaccurate profile.

8. The person answering the questions did not answer them they way they are most of the time, most of their life and in most situations.

These are vital to achieving an accurate KLLP™. Remember, your communication style, personality, character, behavior, beliefs, and even your KLLP™ results are not etched in stone. Use the KLLP™ for learning, growing, developing character, improving communication, and building relationships, By approaching the KLLP™ as a learning - growth journey, you can be successful, enjoy life more, and become all that you were created to be.

The KLLP™ Profile Circle

Your Primary Languages are your preferred communication style, but just as your lifestyle and behavior are not static, neither are your seven LIFE Languages™. When your first or second Life Languages are not connecting with someone, remember you have five other Life Languages that you can use.



The Profile Circle shows how you can pull up a lower Life Language to use in that situation. We believe that you are designed to move up and down your LIFE Languages™ Portrait until you consciously or subconsciously find the one that connects with that person, usually by speaking through their Filter. When we are inflexible and stay in only one or two of our stronger Life Languages, we limit ourselves. Under stress, you are most likely to exhibit the distress characteristics of your Primary Life Languages, but you absolutely can learn to pull up on the strengths of your lower Life Languages to help compensate for those situations. This helps you move out of stress and build character in your life. It is important to remember that a high or low score in a given Life Language is neither better nor worse, but simply an indication of your fluency and comfort in that Life Language. Picture your seven LIFE Languages™ on a rotating wheel or carousel that you can turn and use to pull up the strengths of each and every LIFE Language to help you better connect and communicate with others as well as get through stressful or difficult times in your life, career, and relationships.
