What is your lifestyle and personality?

PsychoStyle
Inventory
Dr. Truqué was the first diet researcher to
understand the relationships among lifestyle, personality and successful
dieting. The results of her research lead to the development of the
PsychoStyle Lifestyle/Personality Inventory. Working in cooperation with
Drs. Jonas Remakel and Irving Duvalt at the University of Belĵevek,
Dr. Truqué was able to develop what has become
the benchmark instrument for matching dieters with dietary programs that
have the greatest chance of success. Indeed, research has shown that people
matched with diet plans by use of the PsychoStyle Inventory have a 99.7%
success rate.*
To determine the best diet plan to best match your lifestyle and
personality, follow the four steps below.
* Your results may vary.

Step 3.
Plot your result
|
Inventory graph
To find the right diet plan for you, plot the number of "YES's" from your
answers above on the graph below. For instance if you counted 6 "YES"
answers to the Lifestyle Inventory and 4 "YES" answers to the Personality
Inventory, your resultant place on the graph would be where the "X" is in the orange area of
the top left quadrant.

Step 4.
Find your matching plan
|
Find the right diet plan for you
Once you plot the results of your inventories on the graph above, you are
ready to select a diet plan that matches your lifestyle and personality.
Simply choose a plan that has a
similar color to the quadrant in which your results were plotted.
For instance, a person who had an inventory result like the one in the
example above (6 and 4 YES's, respectively), would be best suited to a diet
plan that is coded with orange ( )
color in the left panel of the Diet Plans page.
