My DisC

I was late for the class and had to do this test when I came back to my house an miss-out on the comparison with others.

Before I started I had a pretty good feeling that I will be D type and once I was finished it turned out I was D high C. In terms of the expectations the test proved them right because certain traits that are characteristic for D type can be accurately used to describe me. I have heard from others that they find me to be a figure of authority and someone that can lead and get others going, using force and power if necessary.  On the other hand I am not the dictator type and I am more than open to hearing other people's opinion when trying to find the best possible solution for solving problems and I am always open to accept the opinion of majority even when I disagree with it if I feel that my arguments were not clear and strong enough.

According to professor D high C is a great combination because it includes strong personality focused on overcoming obstacles combined with creative thinking and analytical skills so, at least on paper, I am great:)

When it comes to whether it is good and useful to know personality types there is no doubt in my mind that if the assumptions and results of theses tests are accurate they can be a valuable asset to managers. Reason for this is that instead of making others adjust to environment, manager can try to create work space and atmosphere that will be sculpted to drain the best from individuals focusing on their strong points and qualities.

Also in personal interactions knowing your other people's personalities is very helpful and is essential part of what is know popularly known as emotional intelligence. Emotionally intelligent people will know how to correctly interpret persons reactions and to adjust ones approach to better motivate and involve others in achieving mutual goals.
