I have to admit that I really enjoyed taking the personality profile test that we conducted in class. I have an interest in psychology and till just recently I’ve been considering majoring in this discipline. I’ve taken various kinds of psychological tests but I found many of them being inaccurate or my results fall somewhere in the middle of all possible categories and in consequence left me without a clear answer. After taking DISC, I was truly surprised that at the end I got a single and clear result.
I am a type C that stands for conscientiousness and subtype s which is steadiness and I totally agree with this result. When I was reading the description of a person whose primary management style is conscientiousness I felt like it was all about me. As a conscientious type of a person I like to work in a predictable environment where performance objectives are clearly defined. I’ve always perceived myself as a detail oriented person who tends to think analytically and before making any decision spends a lot of time weighing pros and cons. I also consider myself to be a very reliable person and this is the trait that I value a lot in other people I just really can’t stand unreliable individuals.
My subtype is steadiness and I think that many of the descriptions in this category apply to me. The ones that in my opinion seem to characterize my personality the most include, desire to help others, creating a stable and harmonious work environment and being a good listener (this one you probably figured out by now from the title of my blog).
I think that the type Cs is a very accurate description of my personality, I feel good about myself and I don’t wish to be another type. Personality makes each of us unique and we shouldn’t try to become someone different. Moreover, I think that after personality is shaped in early years of life, it is impossible to make a drastic change in behavior later on. However, instead of changing I always try to improve or modify some of my traits in order to have better relationships in the workplace or in my personal life.
I think that knowing other people’s management style is very useful, especially if one has to work in a group. Team work requires people to take on different roles. If it was possible for everyone in a group to know what “type” the other people are, it would be easier to assign responsibilities and understand reasoning of others.
