Words that describe me
So after weeks of forgetting, I finally remember to bring home the personality test I did in a Leadership training course at work. I don't know how I feel about all of them. The results were interesting though... The profile system I did was call DiSC. It's basically a page of words grouped into fours. You take your penny and scratch the words that you think most and least reflects you. For whichever word you pick, a shape appears and you tally it up in the end and calculated the differences for each shape (# of most minus # of least, per shape). As you're reading the words, you have no idea how they're related or how they profile you.
Result: Promoter
Emotions: wants to keep up with others in effort and technical performance
Goal: personal growth
Judges others by: self-discipline; position and promotions (I don't agree with latter)
Influences others by: confidence in their ability to master new skills, development of "proper" procedures and actions (again don't agree with latter, there's no right way to do things)
Value to the organization: is skilled in technical and people problem solving; displays proficiency and specialization
Overuses: overattention to personal objectives, unrealistic expectations of others (bha I don't think so...)
Under pressure: becomes restrained; is sensitive to criticism
Fears: being too predictable; no recognition as an "expert"
Would increase effectiveness through: genuine collaboration for common benefit; delegation of key tasks to appropriate individuals
Another portion the test tells you what your "Dimensional Intensity Index" is. This is simply a list of words you scratch to reveal depending on the numerical result for DiSC. Words that describe me are:
Inquisitive
Self-assured
Competitive
Quick
Self-reliant
Calculated risk taker
Self-critical
Enthusiastic
Gregarious
Persuasive
Impulsive
Emotional
Self-promoting
Trusting
Stable
Mobile
Outgoing
Alert
Eager
Critical
Discontented
Persistent
Independent
Rigid
Firm
Stubborn
Arbitrary
Rebellious
