We had a class exercise about D(Dominance) I(Influence) S(Steadiness) C(Conscientiousness). I was a C high D. My "type" of people will "concentrate on key details, think analytically on pros and cons, being diplomatic with people, use subtle and indirect approaches to conflict, check for accuracy..etc".
I think that is true for my case, because I do concentrate on details, and I talked in indirect way when dealing with something I dont really agree on. Even though I think I like to check for accuracy, I am a careless person. Sometimes I made stupid simple mistakes on the test..or something that no one would really made, so on that part, I dont really agree with the result.
When I looked at the description of each category, I wish I can be in "Influence" section. Person with influence will be able to make favorable impression, verbalize articulateness, generating enthusiasm, and create a motivation environment. I think all the characteristics that "influence" has are great for manager and my future goal "marketing manager". I think at some points, I can be that kind of person, but not all the time. I hope I can be both Influential and Conscientiousness.
Even though I think the result is kind of accurate, I dont agree to use it for determine person's management skills or abilities based on that. The reasons i said that are because people may just made something up, and pretend they're someone else. Also, I think just one test cannot see through how good the person really is.
I think the exercise is fun, because it tells you what kind of person you really are. I probably will have my friends to try it. However, I wouldnt just judge them based on this.

I think a lot of people land on the type Cs section. I was one of them. I agree this test was really fun. actually the next day after the DISC test in class, I tested it with my cousin, and it really work. he as some where on the Ds and i think it was really true. he is those type of person. Seriously, i will test more people on this, so i will know them better.
I think you should be glad to be the "C" type. I actually want some of the "C" characteristic! Since you are very neat and organized, I think "C" does really suit you :D I also let some of my friends test DISC as well. The test was quite accurate and it was a lot of fun!
