Paschal's Managing for Success DISC profile
This report was taken about 10 years ago, based on the Managing for Success DISC report (Style Analysis Response Form). I took this shortly after retiring from being a psychotherapist, for some 30 years. I may have over-stressed roles of acting and assertiveness after being in a compassionate listener role for so many years. I have changed a little but not much. Understanding myself now, I do not know how I listened patiently to people's problems for so long. In administering these reports, I always stress that we are far more than any set of answers we use in a given situation to describe ourselves. We are a mystery and a Divine Amazement, even to ourselves. Here is the report.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS.
These statements indicate natural behavior that he brings to any job. That is, if left on his own, these statements indicate how he would choose to do the job.
Paschal is the type of individual who, under pressure, has a tremendous sense of urgency and need to get things done. He displays a high energy factor and is optimistic about the.results he can achieve. The word "can't" is not in his vocabulary. He is self-reliant and willing to pay the price for success. That is, he will do whatever is necessary to get the job done no matter the personal cost. He prefers an environment with variety and change. He is at his best when many projects are underway at once. He is multi-tasking and happiest when he has many balls bouncing.
Paschal may lose interest in a project once the challenge ceases. He may then be ready for another challenging project. He can be assertive and direct, but still be considerate of people. His group skills are plentiful. Other people realize that directness is one of his great strengths. He is very results-oriented, with a sense of urgency to complete projects quickly. He is a self-starter who likes new projects and is most comfortable when involved with a wide scope of activities. Paschal is driven toward goals completion and wants to be in a position to set policy that will allow him to meet those goals. He embraces visions not always seen by others. Paschal's creative mind allows him to see the "big picture."
Paschal likes to make decisions quickly. Sometimes he becomes emotionally involved in the decision-making process. His high energy and directness can be threatening to others. He is a good problem solver and troubleshooter, always seeking new ways to solve old problems. Paschal finds it easy to share his ideas on solving work-related problems. When faced with a tough decision, he will try to sell you on his ideas. He has the unique ability of tackling tough problems and following them through to a satisfactory conclusion. He loves challenges.
Paschal tends to influence people by being direct, friendly and results-oriented. He sometimes mask his feelings in friendly terms. If pressured, Paschal's true feelings may emerge. His creative and active mind may hinder his ability to communicate to others effectively. He may be several steps ahead of his listener. He may present the information in a form that cannot be easily understood by some people. When others ramble or don't speak to the point, he can lose interest and/or be confrontive, asking ramblers to "get to the point." His active mind is already moving ahead. Paschal challenges people who volunteer their opinions. He likes people who give him options as compared to their mere opinions. The options may help him make better decisions. Sometimes he may lack the patience to listen and communicate with slower acting people.
He likes people who present their case effectively. When they do, he can then make a quicker assessment or decision. He is good at bridge-building and networking, and he is usually comfortable challenging others to think outside the box. Negative reactions of others do not usually bother him when he feels he is on target. He does not live with much fear of the opinions of other–which is not always in his favor. When he steps on other's toes, as he may do at times, he is open to feedback.
He is a do-er, but also needs the down-time, quiet time for reflection and planning. Although he is usually a high-energy person, he also needs quiet time for balance.
VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION
This section identifies the specific talents Paschal brings to the job.
Motivates others towards goals.
Creative in his approach to solving problems.
Usually makes decisions with the bottom-line in mind.
Change agent--looks for faster and better ways.
Self-starter.
Team player.
Competitive
Resourceful.
High energy level and highly focused.
Challenges the status quo
Visionary: always seeing people-possibilities.
His high scores on the DISC are high D and high I, with S and C below the line.
Personal comment: I often ask my training groups to intuit which of the four is my style, after teaching and after explaining the DISC. Most can guess the I, although most start with a guess of S and sometimes C. They seldom guess my high D. Probably because it is moderated by my high I, that is, I am results-oriented, but believe in getting there through people. Most are used to Ds being only high Ds, and therefore Dominating by force of their personality style. As I am teaching, training, listening, my balancing act is always between my D and my I: that is, measuring what can I get done via these persons' participation. I tend to work with people-possibilities and aim for results through persuasion, influence and bridge building. I do want to see results. I have some confrontation and conflict resolution skills.
P.S. I make these reports available to teams and organizations with whom I work. The inventory takes ten minutes.
