It's really good to hear that you found the Belbin inventory so useful. I thought it worth adding a comment, that what was done was not the proper Belbin report (and shouldn't really have been done on a course, being copyright, but hey-ho! We're gradually tracking down all such use). The full proper reports give a more subtle interpretation, including advice, and all results are normed. If you'd like to have a go, please do get in touch and I'll set you up with one. This would probably help your use of Belbin as far more than a rough starting-point. Certainly, the official reports are used by an ever-increasing thousands of companies across the world, and for recruitment, team building and self-development in a large way.

And my Belbin analysis has changed quite a bit recently, must post an update about that! Gene,

My father was a classic ENTP. Before he married Mom, he started a set of furniture for her, including a beautiful chair with legs carved like a lion gripping a ball. 50 years later on his death, the damn chair still was not complete. Frankly, I find Belbin a pretty worthless exercise and tend to stick with MBTI or DISC to understand how people work as leaders and as team members.
