The Barefoot Behaviour Profile

Find your negotiation weak foot

A practical map of current habit from Chapter 27 of The Barefoot Negotiator. Fifty questions, about eight minutes, ten behaviour scores and one clear place to start.

What the profile measures

Current habit

This is not a personality test. It shows what you tend to do now when negotiation pressure starts to shape the room.

Ten behaviours

You receive scores out of 100 for Read, Steady, Weigh, Shift, Prepare, Track, Frame, Sequence, Probe and Trade.

Your weak foot

The lowest score is your weak foot. It is the behaviour most likely to leak value unless you prepare it deliberately.

Negotiation habit check

Find the habit most likely to leak value

Fifty questions map ten negotiating behaviours across People, Power, Process, Strategy and Tactics. The profile takes about eight minutes and gives you a score out of 100 for each behaviour.

How to use the result

The report gives you a practical reading, not a fixed label. Use it before a live negotiation to decide where preparation needs to be sharper.

If several low scores sit in one element, that element deserves attention before your next important conversation. If the gap is wide, one strong habit may be compensating for a weaker one.
