r_text[1] = "Focus and attention to detail is the least preferred concentration style for most CEO\'s, and the most preferred style for most world class athletes.";

r_text[2] = "The ability to use a broad-internal focus of concentration to problem solve and strategize is the most highly developed concentration skill for senior managers.";

r_text[3] = "How individuals who score high on the control scale and have scores on extroversion and introversion scales that are within ten percentage points of each other will react can be hard to predict.";

r_text[4] = "People who score high on the external or internal distractibility scales as well as the control and self-esteem scales, are often highly energetic and creative.";

r_text[5] = "Highly skilled, technically oriented individuals who are invaluable to most organizations, but lack good management skills, tend to describe themselves on TAIS as introverted, as dominated by a narrow focus of concentration, and as having difficulty finding an appropriate balance between support and confrontation.";

r_text[6] = "The reason organizations have frequent conflicts between the engineering and purchasing groups, is not because they have competing responsibilities -- one is focused on quality and the other on delivery and cost -- but because they have different concentration styles. TAIS results can help you break down the barriers and communication problems that exist between these groups.";

r_text[7] = "\"Choking\", having performance go from bad to worse, takes place when concentration narrows and becomes internally focused. TAIS results can help you anticipate the conditions that are likely to cause an individual to choke.";

r_text[8] = "Individuals who score above the 90th percentile on the control scale and the physical competitiveness scale can become their own worst enemy when they feel their control over a situation is threatened, either because they try too hard and tighten up, or because they let their anger get the best of them.";

r_text[9] = "Individuals who are slow decision makers, and score relatively low on the control and self-esteem scales, have a tendency to withdraw, and/or to become tentative in their responses in high-pressure situations.";

r_text[10] = "Managers who have high scores on the control, self-esteem, and intellectual expression scales, and whose score on the negative affect expression scale is fifteen or more percentage points higher than their score on the positive affect expression scale, confront issues, but also intimidate some people and put them on the defensive.";

r_text[11] = "When a person\'s scores on TAIS don\'t seem consistent with your observations, or with the reports of others, you can use the Inventory of Concentration and Communication skills (ICCS) to identify and resolve the differences.";

r_text[12] = "Elite athletes are at all age levels more capable than their age-matched, non-athlete counterparts of staying focused on and practicing routines that others would find boring. Even within the elite athlete group, multiple world champions and multiple Olympic medallists have significantly higher narrow scores on TAIS than single world champions and single Olympic medallists.";

r_text[13] = "TAIS scores suggest that individuals who find it easy to enter a \"flow\" state often find it difficult to \"enter the zone\", and vice-versa. That\'s because the flow state is associated with the ability to maintain an internal focus of concentration, whereas getting into the zone requires an external focus.";

r_text[14] = "Concentration skills that lead to success in front line management positions aren\'t the same concentration skills that are required for success at a senior management level.";

r_text[15] = "Want to know why great athletes rarely make great coaches,or why great coaches typically weren\'t superstars? It\'s because the concentration skills that make one a good coach, able to analyze, strategize, and plan, interfere with the focused discipline required to become a superstar.";

r_text[16] = "The concentration skills that make a good senior officer or strategist in the military can get you shot on patrol. Make sure you are matching the concentration skills of your men and women to the performance demands of the mission you are sending them on.";

r_text[17] = "Sales persons with moderate scores on the introversion scale, are often more productive than sales persons who have extremely low introversion scores, because they find it easier to close.";

r_text[18] = "When scores on TAIS suggest an individual is equally skilled in all areas of concentration, and the individual has answered in a way which suggests they rarely if ever get distracted by either external or internal cues, they are 1) either naive and lacking in self-awareness, or 2) exaggerating their scores to try and look better than they really are.";

r_text[22] = "EPS can help you create mission profiles and competency-based reports that are unique to the needs and particular jobs of the organizations you work with. For information about these customized reports contact EPS Sales.";

r_text[23] = "Your online TAIS administration and interpretation account allows individuals you want tested 24/7 access to the inventory anywhere in the world. In addition, you have 24/7 access to clients\' TAIS data with the ability to generate, print, and email a variety of standard TAIS reports.";

r_text[24] = "Using the EPS Database Manager, you can access your clients\' TAIS data 24/7 from anywhere in the world. You can create your own client subgroups, download your client data for your own statistical analyzes, and install in the database your own customized norm groups.";

r_text[25] = "Your 360 rating scale is a great way to identify problems or issues that a manager\'s subordinates, peers, or boss see. The 360, however, does not identify the root cause of any identified problem. By combining TAIS with your 360, you can get at the root cause of issues and design intervention programs to address that root cause.";

r_text[26] = "An intelligence test can tell you how bright someone is, and to some degree how quickly they learn. TAIS can help you understand why some individuals don\'t seem to be able to make effective use of their intellectual skills, while others can.";
