So, Samantha was telling me about this DiSC Personality Test which is pretty cool.
What is the DiSC test?
The DiSC is a group of psychological inventories developed by John Geier and based on the 1928 work of psychologist William Moulton Marston. The assessments classify four aspects of behavior by testing a person's preferences in word associations.
DISC is an acronym for:
- relating to control, power and assertiveness i.e. How do you tackle problems.
- 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.

- relating to social situations and communication i.e. How do you deal with people.
- People with High I scores influence others through talking and activity and tend to be
emotional. They are described as convincing, magnetic, political, enthusiastic, persuasive,
warm, demonstrative, trusting, and optimistic. Those with Low I scores influence more by
data and facts, and not with feelings. They are described as reflective, factual, calculating,
skeptical, logical, suspicious, matter of fact, pessimistic, and critical.
Steadiness
- relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness i.e. How do you pace yourself.
- People with High S styles scores want a steady pace, security, and don't like sudden change.
Low S intensity scores are those who like change and variety. High S persons are calm,
relaxed, patient, possessive, predictable, deliberate, stable, consistent, and tend to be
unemotional and poker faced. People with Low S scores are described as restless,
demonstrative, impatient, eager, or even impulsive.
Conscientiousness
-relating to structure and organization i.e. How you follow rules & procedures.
- Persons with High C styles adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do
quality work and do it right the first time. High C people are careful, cautious, exacting,
neat, systematic, diplomatic, accurate, tactful. Those with Low C scores challenge the
rules and want independence and are described as self-willed, stubborn, opinionated,
unsystematic, arbitrary, and careless with details.

your personal profile type is Networker

You tend to enjoy using your verbal skills and wit to be engaging and persuasive. Typical Areas of Strength Networkers, like you, are normally strong communicators. You are outgoing, engaging, lively, optimistic, gregarious, persuasive, fun-loving, enthusiastic, and inspiring. Typical Areas of Struggle You may sometimes be prone to talking too much, being disorganized, impulsive, too emotional, too optimistic, or exaggerating. Sometimes you tend to overcommit and overlook key details. Your Preferred Activities Because you function best when given the opportunity to influence, meet, or entertain others, you need variety and opportunities to present your new creative ideas along with a minimum of detail work.

Most people who take Personality I.D. say, "That’s me!" But, this fun profile only shows a small glimpse how God has wired people.
