	The Belbin Team Role Self‐Perception Inventory (BTRSPI) is, as earlier mentioned, a test based on a questionnaire that measures an individual's behavioural characteristics when working in teams rather than on personality. Personality is, however, seen as one factor that can have an impact on behaviour. Other factors are values and motivations, external influences, experience, role learning and mental abilities. Most personality traits are considered relatively fixed, while behaviour can more easily change and adapt to changes in any of the factors that impact it. For that reason, it is expected that Team Role preferences may evolve, for example, when changing work role or environment or when something life-changing occurs.

	==== The Preferred, Manageable and Least Preferred Roles ~~<ref name="Belbin3"/>~~ ====		==== The Preferred, Manageable and Least Preferred Roles ====

	The BTRSPI test analyses a candidate's ''Preferred, Manageable, and Least Preferred Roles''. The Preferred Roles are the ones in which the candidate fits naturally and feels the most comfortable. Manageable Roles are the ones that the candidate can have when needed for the team's advantage. Simultaneously, the Least Preferred Roles are the ones that the individual does not fit naturally in and does not feel comfortable in.

Simultaneously, the Least Preferred Roles are the ones that the individual does not fit naturally in and does not feel comfortable in.

	==== Construction and Function of BTRSPI ~~<ref name="Belbin3"/>~~ ====		==== Construction and Function of BTRSPI ====
	The BTRSPI measures nine Team Roles and includes a scale known as "Dropped Points" (DP) that looks at candidates' assertions and not on their Team Role contributions. The inventory is divided into eight distinct sections. Each section contains a heading and ten assertions, one for each Team Role and the last for DP. The headings indicate a work-related scenario or circumstance which the candidate can identify with. The main idea behind that is to ground the defined behaviours in a familiar sense of work and encourage candidates to think about cases from their own experiences. An example of a heading could be: ''"I believe I could make positive contributions to a team because:"'' and one of the assertions could be ''"I am quick to see and take advantage of new opportunities"''.

	Candidates are asked to allocate ten points in each section of the inventory when completing the BTRSPI. If a person identifies equally with only two assertions, five points should be given for each. If four of them are relevant, but two are more relevant than the other two, the allocation of points could be as follows: 3, 3, 2, and 2.

	==== Action-Oriented Roles ~~<ref name="Belbin2"/>~~ ====		==== Action-Oriented Roles ====


	*'''Completer Finisher (CF)'''		*'''Completer Finisher (CF)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	Completer Finishers pay great attention to detail, continuously strive for perfection, and correct mistakes. CFs are considerably introverted and do not require much external stimulation compared to most people. One can trust CFs to perform to the highest standard and to complete their work on time. However, the combination of aiming for perfection and meeting deadlines often generates anxiety, and CFs are prone to be unwilling to trust others to do their work to their own high standards.

However, the combination of aiming for perfection and meeting deadlines often generates anxiety, and CFs are prone to be unwilling to trust others to do their work to their own high standards.
	The CFs are especially valuable where tasks need close focus and a high degree of precision. They are well suited to circumstances where accuracy and high standards are essential. Most likely, CFs also expect the same high standards from the people around them, establishing their own micro-culture where excellence is the only appropriate standard.

	*'''Implementer (IMP)'''		*'''Implementer (IMP)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	What distinguishes the Implementers is their practical approach and their higher degree of self-control and discipline. They are usually loyal to the organization and willing to work hard to assure that things are done as prescribed in a systematic manner. They tend to be seen as people who do not seek personal agendas and self-interest. On the other hand, IMPs can be inflexible when it comes to accepting new ways of working, especially if they are radical or impractical.

Line 48:		Line 48:
	Considering that IMPs are reliable and have a potential for application, they are regarded as valuable in an organization. As they have a sense of what is feasible and relevant and work efficiently, IMPs usually succeed in what they do. While many people prefer the tasks they like to do and disregard things they dislike, an IMP instead does what needs to be done systematically and relentlessly.

	*'''Shaper (SH)'''		*'''Shaper (SH)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	Shapers are very goal-oriented people with high drive and energy. They drive themselves and others and are inclined to conquer challenges by utter determination. They are likely to be very assertive and highly directive leaders. Shapers strive to be competitive and win in most cases. They usually grow in companies because they achieve results and because many people are fascinated by them being bold and decisive managers. However, SHs can be both argumentative and aggressive.

	*'''Resource Investigator (RI)'''		*'''Resource Investigator (RI)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	Resource Investigators are generally enthusiastic extroverts and communicating with people is a natural part of their personality. They are also natural negotiators and great at finding new opportunities as well as establishing new connections. Even though the RIs do not often come with original ideas, they are good at promoting other people's ideas. RIs are usually comfortable people and have a deep analytical sense and a passion for finding possibilities in different cases. However, their enthusiasm and excitement may fade away instantly if the other team members are no longer stimulated.

	*'''Team Worker (TW)'''		*'''Team Worker (TW)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	Team Workers have a friendly and sociable character and are generally helpful and caring to others. They have a remarkable ability to be flexible and adapt to different situations and people. TWs are empathetic, diplomatic, and usually good listeners. Due to these traits, they tend to be popular among their colleagues. Their desire to establish peace and avoid conflict can make them indecisive when making difficult individual decisions. TWs perform well when circumstances are tense, and people feel not cared for and unappreciated. This is because of their ability to solve interpersonal issues. Since TWs have few opponents and are willing to listen to others' views and suggestions, they can rise to leadership positions.

	Monitor Evaluators are serious and cautious people. They tend to make decisions slowly and prefer to think things through carefully. They usually have high critical thinking ability. They also have a remarkable ability to make astute judgments that consider all factors. If a team a good ME, they are unlikely to make intuitive and careless mistakes. MEs act on facts and logic rather than emotion when weighing options. However, they are often considered hypercritical and sometimes also regarded as slow and boring.

	*'''Plant (PL)'''		*'''Plant (PL)<ref name="Belbin2"/>'''

	Plants are innovators and inventors. They can be very creative and provide original ideas to encourage innovation. Most of the time, they prefer working on their own at a distance from other team members. They have a tendency to be introverted and respond intensely to criticism and praise. Oftentimes, their ideas may be radical and impractical. However, due to their originality and radical perspective on things, they are usually considered clever. Sometimes, they have difficulties communicating compellingly and presenting their ideas in a practical and relevant way.		Plants are innovators and inventors.

	The Specialist Team Role frequently causes confusion. This is because the term "Specialist" is usually referred to as an individual with technical knowledge and expertise. However, the Specialists, as defined by Belbin Team Roles, have some particular features. The main characteristic feature is their love of learning. They see education and the gathering of knowledge as the primary purpose for their existence. Most likely, SPs would be perceived by peers as an expert to whom one can turn to for help and guidance. However, they would typically avoid participating in social or unstructured meetings and discussions. They can also be slightly relentless when the validity of their knowledge or area of expertise is questioned.		The Specialist Team Role frequently causes confusion.

	The Belbin Team Role Self‐Perception Inventory (BTRSPI) is, as earlier mentioned, a test based on a questionnaire that measures an individual's behavioural characteristics when working in teams rather than on personality. Personality is, however, seen as one factor that can have an impact on behaviour. Other factors are values and motivations, external influences, experience, role learning and mental abilities. Most personality traits are considered relatively fixed, while behaviour can more easily change and adapt to changes in any of the factors that impact it. For that reason, it is expected that Team Role preferences may evolve, for example, when changing work role or environment or when something life-changing occurs.
