"DISC" Assessment Explains Who You are ...

   The leadership management diagnostic  had categorized me as type "D" , which is  discribed as dominante type oriented person. I was not satisfied with such  particular description alone  because I don't see myself  assimilate with  it percisely. But when I saw the description of "D" type in more details, it became visible to me how this assessment came to be amazing result.  for instance I do not like to be controlled  and I 'm strong in fulfilling my job obligation no matter what. I do remember when I was a restaurant's manger how many hours I used to put in, because  I want  my work to be complet and perfect as well, so I chose to be the first one to come in( at 10:am) and the last one to leave( around 2:00am). However, I also had a great conflict with my boss's wife who have no idea about a restaurant- business  and I refused to follow her instructions. I have to say that  she used to see me as "a dominant person" because I never consulted with her in some matters. For me,  her ideas  were good  in her classroom as a teacher not in restaurant . In any case, it was a lot of fun in working with  two bosses, one is a teacher and other one was a car dealer, so one can imagine  that "D" type  personality is appropriate . I don't see myself  to prefer other type  than what I am, but I am flexible to adopt or to even change  to other type according to what the environment  calls for .

   There were some questions in this test that were kind of confusing to  how one can categorize himself (like Q 7 and  15);However, I did take same test again, but I let some else to doing for me , someone who knows me  very well for long time , and astonishingly  the result turned to be "DS" vs "DC" in first time.  I am convinced that this test is an accurate assessment  to determine people's management  "type".  But to what extend this can be used  by others in the work place may have a positive impact and  negative impact as well. It is an encouraging for one to know him/her-self so  he/she can do better  in their work. I believe that communication is one of the issues one can think about when selecting a team members.   On one hand  people with same "type" can form a typical team that work in harmony and in fast pace, on the other hand  this team can lack  ideas from other different types and reach thier fullest potential. Therefore , the work environment should not duplicate people's "type" in order to have a diverse work place which may bring different ideas and many skilled employees that will enrich the work environment .

Again management is life learning ...
