Specific examples of some of the characteristics of my primary DISC
As an “I” in the DISC profile system it has been amazing to relate and identify a couple characteristics that I have and how they help me accomplish the day to day tasks that I encounter. An “I” profile I am talkative, growing up in elementary to junior high and then moving onto high school I wasn’t the best at being task oriented. When we would have class time to complete assignments and work, I would prefer to talk to other individuals and socialize rather than buckle down and focus. It was something my teachers would speak to me about regularly and attempt to

I overloaded myself with making too many promises that I wasn’t able to accomplish. What I have begun to do instead is carry the slogan “under promise, over deliver”. What I do know is I don’t promise as many people things or I don’t commit to be apart of as many organizations but instead I do what I can that is within my circle of reach and magnify those tasks before I can take on any others.
Describe specific examples of how I act under stress and how it affects relationships Stress is a common occurrence in my life that I struggle with when I overcomplicate my life. Stress for myself comes most easily when I know that I have committed to something and not been able to follow through on what I have promised. In being engaged to Lauren, my fiancé, there have been numerous times we have planned out our weeks together and when we would see each other. In that set amount of time sometimes I have been late due to not finishing tasks that I have in enough time so that I can see her, and thus have negatively impacted our relationship. For example two weeks ago, I was supposed to go and listen to her teach Sunday school at her ward in draper. So the day before on Saturday I went home early and set my alarm, but in waking up I recognized
Ultimately, a series of broken promises leads to unmet expectations, hopelessness, and eventually
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
Things how I relate to things, in prioriy order working with things, manipulation and processes, and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or objects, highlights my worker trait section. The results states that my preferences and motivations in vocational are not oriented toward routine, alert monitoring, recording, and reportings of operational or machine processes. Such activity is too clerical for my preferences. As I was told by my husband I don’t have mechanical savvy. The findings also explained that I would be more likely not motivated to engage in activities requiring close, constant attention to precise standards. My motivations are not compatible with assembly activity where one is locked into operatopnal processes. So manual labor is definelty out of the question for any job I will work at in the near future.
Personality traits and skill sets required for my profession.Explain how the traits I learned about yourself from the personality profile in the learning activity line up with
Hello Classmates- The results of my assessment show that my personality type is an ISFJ, Introvered, Sensing, Feeling, Judging. So as in Introverter my main souce of energy is mainly in my own internal world. As a Sensor I believe information received directly from the external world. Feeling means that, I make decisions based on emotion. And Judging means that I organize my life and stick to a plan. Characterized above all by my desire to serve others, in a "need to be needed" way. I am often unappreciated, at work, at home, and play. I also prove over and over again that I can be relied on for loyalty and high quality work, but am also take for granted. Because of this I am horrible at delegate and would rather "do it myself if I want it done right." Although I might be treated like a doormat, I am unwilling to toot my own horn about my accomplishments because I feel that I believe credit is due, its somehow wrong to want some sort of acknowledgement or any sort of reward for doing my work.
As human beings, we different from one another. We are created with a lot of character traits. We all can gain knowledge about our own personalities, we develop our perceptive about strengths and weaknesses, and clarify what we truly value as individuals. The Myers Brigg personality assessment classified me as an Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving (ISFP) personality type. Results showed slightly Introvert 16 %, sensing 12%, feeling 19%, and perceiving 3%. Throughout this paper I will analyze the diverse parts of my own personality traits and how those traits have effected both my personal and my working environment.
Initially, my quiet and introverted personality awaited the direction from those with more experience. Today, my experience and outgoing personality allows me to be the one to provide direction to those who are less educated and to the newly hired employees. The reward of seeing the employees grasp an instruction or direction pays off
A person’s personality allows us to see if we are passive or aggressive, along with why a person may be shy or outgoing (Lussier&Achua, 2013). My number one personality trait according to the profile assessment indicates that I am highest in conscientiousness, followed by adjustment, surgency, openness to new experiences, and agreeableness. As we continue to assess my leadership, all of these will play an important role in how I continue to be a strong leader with other motivating factors.
One of them being conscientiousness. Conscientious people are very driven and orderly. They set goals and firm plans to achieve these goals. Rarely are they spontaneous or disorganized. My score within the Big Five Personality Profile was moderate for conscientiousness. I would say that I do exhibit some of these characteristics. I can be very organized and reliable. As a weakness, I find that I am not always a self-starter. I will set goals and stick to them, but need that push from others to get started. For instance, I was given the opportunity to work on an exciting new project at work that involves direct feedback from employees that I would personally deliver to upper management. This would be a big responsibility as I would be representing hundreds of employees and voice the current concerns of our group. I was asked to think it over. While processing the position, three others volunteered and I lost out of the opportunity. I took my time and wasn’t as organized in my decision making, therefore I missed out greatly.
The DiSC profile system is a specialized profile assessment system. It is designed to provide takers with a clue into which personality category they fall. Each characteristic is carefully laid out to determine which profile best suits you. In brief, the profile consists of four categories that include dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness. Each profile consists of a description of various tendencies, the preferred environment where they feel most comfortable, the type of people they need to be associated with, and
After careful consideration, I have chosen to simply self-improve myself financially, emotionally, and physically. By improving these three aspects of myself I will be a more confident transactional servant leader
PPS: After completing the personal profile system worksheet, it was clear I had strong tendencies in the dominance category with secondary tendencies in the influence category leading to a results oriented profile pattern. Taking authority and making quick decisions are two dominance traits which are common with this type of profile, and they are also two traits that I’ve routinely demonstrated throughout my career. Accepting challenges head on is something I’ve always enjoyed and I possess a high level of confidence in my ability to overcome any obstacle. Those feelings are displayed in my rugged individualism, which creates a driving force of character and diligence that I’ve used to influence others in the accomplishment of the mission. This reinforces my need to take charge of the situation, believing that I’m the right person to ensure the job gets done. Additionally, my ability to think on my feet and make critical decisions very quickly often leads to success in my career field of aircraft maintenance, where time is often the number one critical factor impacting mission accomplishment. The influential side of my profile includes traits of articulation and active participation in a group. With each group activity we break into, I never hesitate to actively promote ideas and I’m often the one taking the most active speaking role as the group works through the assignment. A highly developed ability of articulation promotes the environment I desire to verbalize
My personality type is logistician(ISTJ). Some generally qualities are independent, logical, loyal, responsible, serious, organized, quiet and a rule follower etc. I found most of these qualities to be true about myself. I like working alone and think before I act. I need to have the facts before I set my k da to something. I'm pretty loyal since I keep things to myself and people can rely on me when they need some assistance. I am kind of quiet when I don't know where I am at or who I'm going to be dealing with. I don't like to be social and make conversations to others. I stay by myself until someone comes to me and speaks first. I can be serious at times but I'm a goofball and I like to be silly and sarcastic. I'm also a tile follower I
Personality: My personality acronym is ISTJ, The inspector. I am comfortable working with small group because I haven't had good experiences working in big groups. I do like socializing and working with different groups. I like planning stuff and then doing it.I also prefer deadlines because they make me do work and submit it on time.
Time management is a major way to reduce stress. If you can keep a schedule of the things you need to do and when you have to do them, this can open time for yourself. Try to focus on the important task and then do the little things. (3.) Many stress experts suggest that you begin your fight against stress by defining your values. (4.) Don’t think that everything has to be perfect. If you are a perfectionist you fuel a variety of stress-producing qualities. (4.)
