ok, to begin, a DISC test is that questionire that employeers give you trying to find out what type of person you are to work with/for. that thing where they ask you to rank statements or how you feel about certain words, phrases ect. we took one for our capstone class. got the results. and its pretty spot on. so heres the summary:
[me] can be seen as a person of goodwill. she wants to be seen as her own person, but usually projects it in friendly terms. she is gregarious and sociable. she will be seen as a good mixer both on or off the job. she has an extremely high trust level and is optimistic. flattery will always generate a positive reaction from her. {me}, as a manager, supervisor or group leader can use her people skills to build group involvement and increase participation from the group. she, and outgoing person, feels at home with strangers. she likes feedback...she tends to trust people and may be taken advantage of...[me] influences most people with her warmth. she is optimistic about her ability to do any job.
[me] like working for managers who make quick decisions. she will not be overlooked nor uninvolved. she will consistently try to inspire people to her point of view. she likes to be involved in the decision-making process. she is good at solving problems that deal with people. when she has strong feelings about a particular problem, you should expect to hear these feelings, and they will probably be expressed in an emotional manner. because of her trust and willing acceptance of people, she may misjudge the abilities of others.
{me} is optimistic about her ability to influence people to her way of thinking. sometimes she can get caught short on the facts and figures needed to support her ideas. she has a tendancy, which she regards as an ability, to talk smoothly, readily and at length. she tends to mask some of her directness in friendly terms and is usually recognized as a friendly and trusting person. [me] judges others by their verbal skills and warmth. she will know many people. she has a tendancy to be a name dropper. [I] may do this without thinking, trying to establish rappaport with people [i] may not know well. it is important for [me] to use her people skills to "facilitate" agreement between people. she tends to look at all the things the group has in common, rather than key in on the differences. some see her as too talkitive and emotional.
i am somewhat conservative in my approach to solving problems, i will accept challenges by being quite calculating in my response to the problem. i am quite cooperative by nature and attempt to avoid confrontation as i want to be seen as the person who is easy to work with. i use persuasion and emotion to the extreme. i am positive and seek to win by the virtues of my personality and verbal skills. i will convince you that what i am saying is not only right, but is exactally what is needed. and i see no need to change any of my behaviours as this is what the environment is calling for.
