The test determined that I was influential and dominant. I believed it to be accurate especially since my friends and family say the same. I wasn’t surprised with my results but did smile and chuckle a little bit because I would refuse to believe it. Thinking to myself, I don’t think I could be the kind of person who is steady or conscientious. It just doesn’t seem likely for me to be analytical and patient. The times that I have tried it, I always felt uncomfortable.
I think it is helpful to determine people’s management “type” to better understand where they are coming from. There are many different personalities and traits each individual has and because there can be many different problems and circumstances people face; isn’t a type of manager that is perfect for any and all challenges.
I don’t know how much a test like this would help me in other personal interactions but it does confirm my character and of course makes sense. I do find myself to be very influential but at the same time decisive. Yes I can be dominant many times especially during group works because I aim to finish and skip the in-between steps. Overall, this test was interesting and I had fun figuring out the “type” of manager/leader I am.

I think you are so right when you say that there's not 1 type of manager that is good in all circumstances. Different groups, and situations demand different kinds of leaders!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely an entertaining experience, but nothing that should be taken extremely seriously. Most people learned what someone may have already told them about themselves. It would be even better if we kept this test and looked back at it a few years down the road. Maybe our future careers will follow our DISC, but maybe not.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like you have that dominance personality type so the test seems to be accurate in describing you're leadership personality. I feel like there are so many challenges or occasions that you have to face that you will need to have be more of this type rather than the other type. So being flexible is a really good attribute.
ReplyDeleteThe I-D result also explains why you were the leader in the snow survival activity. I think you are in fact very influential and dominance in getting the group working. You went straight ahead, step up to be the leader, and take control of the working environment.
