They didn't want to give us the test results to take home for fear that we'd forget them and not be able to use the date tomorrow in the 5 hour session that is scheduled for us to learn more.... but I persuaded her to let me at least take a copy.

Anyway, above are the BEHAVIORAL STRENGTHS that I may have. I think it's pretty accurate in most points and now you know!

Out of 9, I scored D-6.5, I-8.5, S-1.5 C-4.

Dominance: People who score high in the intensity of the 'D' styles factor are very active in dealing with problems and challenges, while low D scores are people who want to do more research before committing to a decision. High D people are described as demanding, forceful, egocentric, strong willed, driving, determined, ambitious, aggressive, and pioneering. Low D scores describe those who are conservative, low keyed, cooperative, calculating, undemanding, cautious, mild, agreeable, modest and peaceful. (I was a little over middle of the road)

Influence: People with High I scores influence others through talking and activity and tend to be emotional. They are described as convincing, magnetic, political, enthusiastic, persuasive, warm, demonstrative, trusting, and optimistic. Those with Low I scores influence more by data and facts, and not with feelings. They are described as reflective, factual, calculating, skeptical, logical, suspicious, matter of fact, pessimistic, and critical. ( I was a HIGH I)

Steadiness: People with High S styles scores want a steady pace, security, and don't like sudden change. Low S intensity scores are those who like change and variety. High S persons are calm, relaxed, patient, possessive, predictable, deliberate, stable, consistent, and tend to be unemotional and poker faced. People with Low S scores are described as restless, demonstrative, impatient, eager, or even impulsive. (I was a LOW C)

Conscientiousness: Persons with High C styles adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do quality work and do it right the first time. High C people are careful, cautious, exacting, neat, systematic, diplomatic, accurate, tactful. Those with Low C scores challenge the rules and want independence and are described as self-willed, stubborn, opinionated, unsystematic, arbitrary, and careless with details. (I was a little under middle of the road)

And now I will demonstrate how flaky and weird I actually am. Ready? Find any astrology website and read about Geminis, it will tell you the same thing your DISC score just did.

Oh no! The DISC profile!! We are all over this too... printouts everywhere about how to deal with other profiles while selling.

Ha ha ha ha

-Tiff (High I, High D)

Geminis Rule. At least, that's what both of our personalities think.

Astrology versus DiSC profile? Hilarious comparison. Nice work!
