It's been awhile since I've posted here. With two blogs, Facebook, two newsletters, LinkedIn, and being the business Examiner for my region, sometimes it's a challenge just posting regularly. Enough excuses! I have a magic wand after all!
So today begins DISC education via the blog. Regularly, I will post tips and tidbits about the DISC behavioral assessment. Even if you're not familiar with DISC, you will be able to understand and recognize human behavior.
DISC is a behavioral model and online assessment that I use with my clients to help them understand the behavior of job candidates, employees, managers, etc. DISC stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. And every person can be measured on a scale of 100% in each of these four categories.
Dominance = results oriented, driven, competitive, direct
Influence = people oriented, outgoing, optimistic, charming, chatty
Steadiness = process oriented, loyal, patient, trustworthy
Compliance = detail oriented, accurate, precise, perfectionist
While all these attributes sound great, every style has it's limitations too!
Dominance = arrogant and argumentative
Influence = unrealistic and emotional
Steadiness = stubborn and resists change
Compliance = picky and critical
So what combination of these factors are you? Most people have 2 or 3 in their style. Less than 2% of the population has only one factor in their style. Next post, I'll share mine!
