Personal Profile System
In the Personal Profile test that we did in class I discovered few things about myself that were some true and some new. After calculating the numbers I discovered that my dominant letter is D in the DISC evaluation. If you are a D dominant you are described as a person who "Emphasis on shaping the environment by overcoming opposition to accomplish results". I would say that this statement pretty much describes who I am. In arguments I am the person who will "compete to win", I always think that my opinion is the best and I am sure that if everyone will change their mind and follow mine then the results will be much better. Even in my personal life, in my relationship with my husband, I never take my husband opinion into consideration and I constantly try to convince him that my way is better then his way or the highway. Other D characters that I can identify with are; accepting challenges (that is why I work in sales), questioning the statues Que (always trying to change the impossible) and making quick decisions. I can say that I am happy to be a D personality, I think that it fits my vision or ambitions in life. I want to be something else, I don't want to be the normal I want to take the challenge and I want to get results quick. I don't think that I can even become another type, I have tried in the past to be more detailed oriented or to be accurate or to even try to be more organized but it obviously didn't work. I think that it is highly important to know someone personality type, especial to know your boss type or your partners type so that you can better analyze their behavior which will give you an advantage over them, in that way you will know how to approach them and how to talk to them.

great post, i am also a D personality. it is funny what you said about your husband that it is either your way or the highway, i find my self in the same situation with my girlfriend, she say that I must always be right and that im too stubborn.lol.
ReplyDeleteThe part with your husband is really funny, I kind of see it in myself also like in my relationship. But its a little different for me because Im an Id so im more influential and then the dominance kicks in. But I have a question for you, do you think your D personality fits your vision and ambitions or maybe your ambitions and vision are tailored to fit your personality type. That is something that could be debated about for hours, kind of like what came first the chicken or the egg
ReplyDeleteSo honestly in getting this assignment done with, I just started passing through random blogs came to yours, and read the part the two people above me read concerning your husband's opinion. That had me laughing because in all honesty that is very dominant the way you approach your engagements. It seems like the D personality is definitely there. Also I have to say understanding a person's personality type or character is important if trying to understand how to talk to them. I definitely agree with you on that.
ReplyDeleteI liked taking the personality assesment test in class for a similar reason- I found out new things about myself (that actually were true)! From reading your post, you say your are a D-Type, yet I feel like we are pretty similar. I myself have tried to be more detail oriented and organized, but have failed. Whomp! Doesn't mean either of us should give up though!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
