Understanding
Your Behavioral Style
The
DISC Theory Of Behavioral Management |
Behavioral research indicates that the most
effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths
and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their
environment.
The DISC system analyzes your behavioral
style, i.e., your manner of doing things. It is a tool used internationally.
As a responsive person, you bring more than behavior to the job. You bring
your intelligence, values, education, training, skills and experience. But
behavior is what others most readily observe. They see HOW you do the job,
without always having the opportunity to understand and appreciate your
background.
This tool is based on the works of many
behavioral scientists, especially Dr. Jung and Dr. William Marston. These
scientists have identified four dimensions of normal behavior. These four
dimensions fall into the following categories:
- PROBLEMS - How you approach problems and
challenges
- PEOPLE - How you interact and attempt to
influence people
- PACE - How you respond to change and
activities
- PROCEDURE - How you respond to rules set
by others
All people demonstrate some behavior within
each dimension. They differ, however, in the intensity of the four factors.
To evaluate your behavior, you are asked 24 questions and your responses are
analyzed and compared across a well defined population of thousands of
people. Statements that apply to you are carefully selected by the computer
from thousands of potential combinations and are included in a comprehensive
profile of your behavior.
