DISC Profiling

That was what we did during cell last night. Well, this 'test' is basically a personality questionnaire to attempt to help us discover more about our specific behavioural styles. The results are divided into 2 sections: "This is expected of me." and "This is me.".

To put it simply, the former is my response to how I think people expect me to behave. i.e. my normal guarded and masked behaviour. As for the latter, it is my response to how I feel and think under pressure -- how I REALLY feel and think inside. i.e. my normal UNguarded and UNmasked behaviour.

My results for both sections were pretty similar, except that there is another codominant trait in the second segment. =)

So what types do I belong to?

For "This is expected of me.", I'm a "Steady Specialist". The following is the description of such a person provided in the training booklet.
'"S"s are stable and shy types. They do not like changes. They enjoy pleasing people and can consistently do the same job. Secure, non-threatening surroundings are important to them. They make the best friends because they are so forgiving. Other people sometimes take advantage of them. They need to be stronger and learn how to say "No" to a friend who wants them to do wrong. Talking in front of large crowds is difficult for them. They are motivated by sweet and sincere opportunities to help others.'

As for "This is me.", I belong to the "Steady Competent" type.
'"S/C" types are stable and contemplative types. They like to search and discover the facts. They like to weigh the evidence and proceed slowly to a logical conclusion. They enjoy small groups of people. They do not like speaking in front of large crowds. They are systematic and sensitive to the needs of others, but can be critical and caustic. They are loyal friends, but can be too fault-finding. They need to improve their enthusiasm and optimism. They are motivated by kind and conscientious opportunities to slowly and correctly do things.'

Interesting? Accurate? ;^)
