Let's Decode...

Right off the bat, I knew I wasn't going to like where the diagnostic was going. I knew my faults, and I chose my answers to how others would think of me. In a way, how I would present myself?Plotting the graph, each of them ended up looking like a frown. What does that say?

Let's decode all of them...
Dominance
takes authority and accepts challenges, egotistic dictator who needs a chill pill

Influence
entertains people and views optimistically, happy clown who can't be taken seriously

Steadiness
develops specialized skills and harmonious environment, boring peace-maker who's blah

Conscientiousness
diplomatic and analytical, anal ass who thinks they're "brilliant" :)

Result: I with a high S
In other words, I'm a good entertainer and a good listener. Hmm...great leadership qualities. (t'was sarcasm) Can't help but think of Sailor Moon. Ditzy, funny, enthusiastic, she's the leader of the group. She protects the universe from evil.


Somewhat bummed because it seems like I don't have a firm hand, and all I can do is think happy thoughts. In terms of actual results, as a leader, it doesn't seem to show me as much of an authority figure. Instead, it depicts me as somewhat of a pushover. Awesome...

  2. You are very pessimistic and are looking at the terms in a twisted way. I agree with Collis' comment. Your results mean that you are a positive influence on the group at large, encourage active participation, and have passion for what you do. These aren't negative things at all. It's the absolute opposite of me. If I looked at the DISC terms the same way you did, I would just be an arrogant know-it-all who needs to get my "brilliant" ideas out so everyone can see them. Basically, you can do everything I can't do; motivate, persuade, and enthuse people. These are all key aspects of being a leader. You should learn how to harness these traits and use them your best ability rather than focusing on all the negative interpretation you got from it.

  3. I think I agree with the results. You are a great entertainer and makes a favorable impression among everyone. Plus you seem to always participate in the group which is good.

  4. I guess I can see the logic in your result as a high S. Being able to think happy thoughts at troubled times is a special power to have. Now all you need is a sailor outfit and 2 pony tails.
