If you split the circles horizonally there are four sections above the horizontal and four below. In each segment there is a description of behaviours. The whole circle is labelled ‘adaptive/positive patterns of interaction’. Starting from the 12 o’clock position on the circle, the sections (going in a clockwise order) are labelled 1. Supportive, Conversational and Non-judgemental, 2. Social, Warm and Friendly, 3. Respectful, Trusting and Admiring, 4. Modest, Humble and Seeking Guidance, 5. Wary, Sceptical and Reserved, 6. Frank, Forthright and Critical, 7. Acts confidently, Assertive, Certain, 8. In charge, Sets the agenda, Advises. Learners are able to place and save a red cross in any position on the circle.
