Disc Profile

The Word of God imparts, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” The goal to remain in full commitment with the vision of my leaders are viable. However, what matter in this process is to validate the receptive of the audience with the message intended for their spiritual transformation. Consequently, the role displayed from my serving others, includes my character, attitude, work ethics, knowledge, wisdom, and my perception which differs from the other leaders.

Uniquely You DISC Professional Profile Report (2013), states that I am an S Personality Type. I think that people expect me to be more sensitive and submissive. According to this author, I am depicted as one who blends in the crowed; because I feel others want me to be still or quiet. I can be very loyal and friendly on an individual basis.

Through this assignment, we will examine individual traits and how they integrate into organizational behavior. This project is conveyed from the first-person based on my personal experiences and results based on my answers from the “Project 2 Assessment” from McGraw Hill Connect. From the information gathered we discuss in three-parts, my personality triats, working with others, and my experience within an organizational setting. My paper will culminate by discussing my personal reflection of my strengths and weaknesses regarding the engagement of the Holy Spirit through them.

With the results of the Profile Scores, I do agree that it identified me accurately. My top three scores were conventional, investigative, and social. When someone is conventional, that person likes to follow set guidelines and routines. Also, they prefer working with information and paying attention to details instead of coming up with ideas. Investigative people like to search for facts or figure out problems. They like to think rather than doing physical work and typically work well with a leader. Lastly, people with social interest like to work with people more than working with objects or by themselves. They typically like to give advice, teach, or even be of service to people. Although I feel I do not completely identify with each score, I can attest that all three of these scores does identify me

Leaders believe people have an intrinsic value beyond tangible contributions as workers. As a result, genuine interest in the spiritual, professional and personal growth of all employees is demonstrated.

Most of the time when there is a lack of clear communication and direction, the organization becomes very inefficient due to the wasted efforts and time required to re-do the project. I like to relate this to the term “If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over”? I know that I have possibly been guilty of not taking the appropriate time in the past to clearly communicate with subordinates required tasks of the reason for them due to various reasons. Hopefully with a new sense of direction, I can be more aware of my actions and clearly state the missions and direction and make the organization much more efficient while also improving the team’s morale. When the team’s ideas are continually incorporated in the plan to achieve the team’s objectives, it builds trust, confidence, motivation, commitment, and an improved interest in achieving the team’s

It seems you provide a covenantal work environment for those around you which Dr. Fischer states, "the Biblical/covenantal approach speaks of power being used not to be served but to serve; not to build up one’s kingdom but to build and invest into others." (Fischer, 2009, p.3) By investing personally, you are changing and serving the lives around you.

After completing the DISC Personality test to find out the indication of my unique personality. The highest percentage is most likely to be my most dominant personality factor, the second highest next to the most dominant. My DISC factors include steadiness, dominance, compliance, and influence. Dominance describes how I deal with problems, asserting myself and controlling situations, Influence describes how I deal with people, and the way I communicate and relate to others, Steadiness describes my temperament of patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness. And compliance, describes how I approach and organize my activity, procedures and responsibilities. Through the analysis, I found out I am a clear thinker. I have an inner need to be objective and

I participated in a series of Self-Assessments by Robbins and Judge (2008) to be conscious of my personality, to recognize how I work with others, and to figure out life in organizations. Organizational behavior is a dynamic force of research, advancing toward enriching and enhancing the workforce. First, I must understand myself toward becoming an effective employee, co-worker, or manager. As a result, I am directed toward the advancement of the knowledge of these discoveries. These self-assessments encompass the framework of my paper, and my responses are compared with abundant studies. Significantly, I exist as a being uniquely designed by God, but these self-assessment results deserve ample credit. Regardless, of classification from these self-assessments, covenantal approaches aligning with God’s law show relevance. However, I am captivated with these discoveries. In addition, I used the Organizational Behavior textbook by Robbins & Judge (2009); Organizational Communication Presentation by Fischer; “The Gospel and Personal Reflection” article by Fischer (2006); and “Toward a Periodic Table of Personality: Mapping Personality Scales Between the Five-Factor Model and the Circumplex Model” article by Anderson & Woods (2016).

In the following paragraphs I will attempt to deconstruct the personality Myers-Briggs Type Indicator known as ENFP. The individual attributes of the type indicator will be discussed as to how they affect my work and social life. Once a basic understanding of the MBTI is explained I will discuss how these traits complicate my work environment. Finally, my personal worldview will be discussed; specifically, how this newly gained knowledge has reshaped my worldview. This will all be discussed in the first person.

Starting at the time I answered the questions in the DISC profile, I could watch and predict the pattern that was playing out before my eyes. During the introduction to each behavior profile, I could already tell which behavior best described me. Almost every word that is listed under that heading is a word that I have, or would use to describe myself. However, I did not know what the perception of others would be. In this paper, I will attempt to show the similarities and differences between the behaviors that I have described and those of my friends, family, and coworkers. Although many people claim to be the same person in all settings, in this instance, I have the research to back up my claim. As always, the change in all settings of my life are minute.

My DISC type is accurate because I tend to enjoy challenges and competition. When I set goals I like to achieve my goals in an organized manner. I can adapt easily to things. I have always been able to handle pressure well. In past jobs I have had I’ve worked as a waitress at a busy restaurant in Yuba City, Ca. During dinner hours, we would be so busy that the wait for dinner was an hour sometimes two. Each waitress would get there own section of the restaurant to serve. Dinner rush hour can get pretty overwhelming but I think I managed pretty well and made sure my customers were happy. I took orders in a good time frame. I believe that job as a waitress is what helped me become organized and helped me know how to work under pressure. This

Upon taking the DISC assessment, I am, “D/S/C”, active/passive people-oriented and passive/task-oriented. According to the DISC (2016), I have the blended style of a doer, supportive and competent/cautious (p14) and people see me as strength, sensitive and a thinker (p185). I am described as decisive, logical, analytical and helpful. Even though I am passive I can be dominant sometimes and a little controlling. I am active and decisive

Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)

PPS: By utilizing the DiSC Model used Personal Profile System (PPS) we were able to define your Dimension of Behavior. You display dominant behavior of Influence or simply (I). This is because you genuinely love people. Your very engaging, always hosting events, coaching intramural/youth, you enjoy being recognized as a capable leader and making lasting impressions. This is a powerful tool, influencing people helps to create trust…the bedrock of any effective leader. Your secondary behavior was Steadiness or (S). Using the model, I came to this conclusion your devoted/loyal, you enjoy helping others, you thrive in a conflict free work environment and you fly within an established vector.
