Your Trust Quotient results reveal the following:
YOUR BIGGEST STRENGTH IS: RELIABILITY
About Your Area of Strength
People rely on you, depend on your actions. This is due to a mixture of traits, probably including:
You feel familiar to them—they feel comfortable with you.
You are consistent in your words and actions.
You keep your word.
People don't get surprised by you; they get what they expect.
You are predictable and steady—people can depend on you.
How You Can Leverage This Strength
Lead with it. Find more opportunities to make promises—and keep them.
Notice that this is something you are good at; put yourself in situations that benefit from a need for reliable behavior (e.g. creating more precision about expectations in meetings or events; creating more rigor around envisioning or brainstorming exercises; making clear actions out of confused directions).
YOUR BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: INTIMACY
About Your Area of Opportunity
Your area for improvement lies in helping people feel safe around you, including being willing to share inner thoughts with you. Improving your intimacy score can take several forms:
Helping people feel that you are discreet; that what they share is safe with you.
Increasing people's sense of you as empathetic.
Being willing to risk sharing personal things about yourself.
Being willing to risk inviting others' personal conversations about themselves.
Having people take you into their confidence.
What You Can Do to Improve on Intimacy

Avoid gossip.
Simply observe others, and ask about their feelings.
Don't be afraid to comment on others' feelings.
Comment on your own, but only when not obtrusive.
Respect confidential information.
If an email would embarrass you or someone else, don't write it.
Talk more with your eyes, ears and body, and less with your mouth.
Treat silence as your friend.
