S-C = S-uper C-onscientious!?

• After 24 slides, 112 adjectives, 5 alternatives between Q, W, X, Y, Z and a lot of attention to the decision making, my DISC diagnostic was an S-C person, where S stands for Steadiness and C stands for Compliance.
• I was actually kind of surprise about this test because most of the characteristics listed in the description were in fact very accurate to my personality.
• I definitely fit into the Steadiness profile since I consider myself a good team player. I am great at following instructions and I don’t mind listening to people. A lot of people told me that I could be a great teacher because I have the personality and the patience to deal with people and to help them with any difficulties. One thing that caught my attention is the line that says: “Resist change and takes a lot time to adjust to change”. I find this fact is absolutely true and I have a clear example for that: I have been through a lot of transitions in my life, and believe me, it can take me a lot of effort to be absolutely happy about it. I went from Peru, to Oregon, to New York City so I know what big changes are.
• On the Compliance profile the characteristic I most think goes with me is the Analytical side. I like thinking before doing something and re-thinking after doing it. I always want to make sure I took the right decision and that all my options are clear. I like being sure of what I am doing and gather information before saying something.
• Each person has his own personality and I don’t think you can become someone you are really not. However, I believe I can have an Influence personality in some cases where I feel like it or I have to do it. I also believe this kind of test is fundamental for work environments and for managers to understand their team workers. At the same time, you cannot always tell how a person may be and you can get big surprises some time...HUGE surprises!
