Behavioural Dominance
As part of a course I am doing through work, I recently took part in a DISC behaviour assessment.
What?
From that link…
DISC is a group of psychological inventories developed by John Geier and based on the 1928 work of psychologist William Moulton Marston.
Not too helpful. Further into the article we get a bit more help…
DISC is the four quadrant behavioral model based on the work of William Moulton Marston Ph.D. (1893 - 1947) to examine the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation. DISC looks at behavioral styles and behavioral preferences.
D is for DOMINANCE!
So it turns out I am a resounding D. This initially came as a bit of a surprise, but after working through the analysis I had to admit it was right.
Again, stealing from Wikipedia…
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.
That hit’s amazingly close to home. In some cases, a little too close.
