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:
Dominance - 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.
Influence
- 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.

Ok, enough about the facts now..here's my result: I tried both version and I still got the same results. And it's pretty accurate too.. ^_^
