This paper deals with the analysis of an individual's style based on Kirton's adaption and innovation inventory (KAI) score. The KAI score identifies an individual's style, i.e adaptive or innovative. Analysis includes various constituents of a group e.g. managers, ministerial staff, technical supervisors, artisans, men and women. Group estimates of individuals and the individual's scores are indicative of a positive relationship and the KAI score can be used to identify an individual's style so as to form a team for a specific task or project.
