We have had some PD with Lois Christmas this month. This has been around "DISC" which is a tool whereby we are provided with assessment data which provides us with information around our priorities in the work place. It then , in turn, helps us learn how to connect and communicate with our colleagues whose priorities and preferences differ from our own. I have found t really interesting to see the results of these tests and I have found myself becoming more aware of my reactions and traits and thinking more about other peoples.
The verdict is that I am an"SI" . Some of the traits of an "S" is even tempered, accommodating, patient, humble and tactful. The typical traits of an "I" are Outgoing, enthusiastic, optimistic, high spirited and lively. It is important to remember that this relates to the work place and when I answered the questions, I did it with work in mind as opposed to home( which potentially could be quite a different result I suspect.)
We did some work around the things in our profile that we agreed with and aspects we disagreed with. I found that an interesting exercise. It was also good to get together in our teams and do some work with the others on our profiles. It is also interesting to note that the vast majority of our team are in the "S" category too. I think one is an "I."
