The differentiation of PDA from other respective tools is the impression of high value’s information for interpretation, such as:

• Axis Intensity: Measures the intensity of each of the Behavioral Tendencies
• Profile Intensity: Measures how faithful is the person evaluated to their behavioral style. It helps to know the level of flexibility / rigidity of the person evaluated.
• Energy Level: Energy Quantum available by the person evaluated. It helps to know the level of Motivation and Stress
