ACCOMPLISHMENT IMAGE ORIENTATION Accomplishment Image Orientation, (ACIO) personalities have a deep sense of personal achievement, attained by determination and persistence. Their motivation comes from an internal drive to attain results using a highly analytic approach. To accomplish tasks, they exhibit composure and steadiness, with a high degree of personal responsibility and accountability. They prefer to work in their own area of operation and set their own pace, as they ably initiate and carry through their activities. They are proud of their competence and are happiest when that competence is evident to others. They are more interested in getting the job done and influencing others to look at facts rather than feelings.
ACIOs are better equipped to do professional or technical work than to deal with people. Because of that, they may need help in understanding the behavior of others. They are more apt to do than to delegate, and they may set standards for others that are too unrealistic. Their tendency to over-reliance on themselves may need to be tempered so that they do not become too absorbed in their own tasks.
