the DISC personality system

Comments:
: This seems like an interesting system. From what I've read, it seems particularily accurate and more "real" than other systems (like MB and Enneagram) which I am skeptical of. One reason for this is that while I find it very difficult to type me on the MB/Enneagram systems, I immediately recognized myself in this. I am a strong S with moderate I/C followed by a weak D. : It measures a person's personality in 4 areas... : <b>D</b>ominance : getting immediate results : causing action : accepting challenges : making quick decisions : questioning the status quo : taking authority : causing trouble : solving problems : <b>I</b>nfluence : contacting people : making a favorable impression : verbalizing with articulateness : creating a motivational environment : generating enthusiasm : entertaining people : desiring to help others : participating in a group : <b>S</b>teadiness : performing an accepted work pattern : sitting or staying in one place : demonstrating patience : developing specialized skills : concentrating on the task : showing loyalty : being a good listener : calming excited people : <b>C</b>autious : following directives and standards : concentrating on detail : working under controlled circumstances : being diplomatic with people : checking for accuracy : criticizing performance : critical thinking : complying with authority : : Naturally, you can match this with other personality systems. On one site, it said D's were Outgoing/Task-oriented, I's were Outgoing/People-oriented, S's were Reserved/People-oriented, and C's were Reserved/Task-oriented. This sounds an awful lot like Myers-Briggs. Here is my matchings... : : <b>DISC type/MB types</b> : D = ExTP : I = ExFP : S = IxFJ : C = xSTJ : This is if you look at each letter seperately. We are all a mixture of the four letters, so this is why you can be a MB type which isn't on that list. A person with high D and C (like in your analysis) would most likely be an ESTJ, for example. : <b>DISC type/Enneagram type</b> : D = 3, 7, 8 (best matches with 8) : I = 2, 3, 7 (best matches with 7) : S = 4, 6, 9 (best matches with 9) : C = 1, 5, 6 (best matches with 1) : One = moderate D, low I, moderate S, very high C : Two = low D, high I, high S, low C : Three = moderate D, high I, low S, moderate C : Four = low D, low I, moderate S, low C : Five = moderate D, very low I, low S, moderate C : Six = low D, high I, high S, high C : Seven = high D (if 7w8), very high I, low S, very low C : Eight = very high D, moderate I, very low S, moderate C : Nine = very low D, moderate I, very high S, moderate C : <b>DISC type/Oldham type</b> : D = Aggressive, Adventurous, Vigilant : I = Dramatic, Mercurial, Self-Confident : S = Devoted, Leisurely, Sensitive, Self-Sacrificing : C = Conscientious, Solitary, Idiosyncratic : For the most part, the types match well, although Idiosyncratic seems to be the only one who doesn't match at all (C is the closest I could match it with). D matches best with Aggressive, I with Dramatic, S with Sensitive, and C with Conscientious. : On a personal note, I can see this perfect relation in me. My top three styles are Sensitive, Leisurely, and Devoted (all S). I then have Dramatic and Self-Confident behind those styles (I) which adds flavor to me. I score a bit less in the C types, and especially the D types. : -Cory
