DISC model. Did the workshop today.
[Did the actual test with the questionaire a while back, but wasn't too bothered coz I was too preoccupied with something else.. So today I actually listened; there is the other one, Myer's Briggs - I'm INFP fo that..]

I cant make out if i'm the "High S" or "High I"
I am not taking too well to the word "phlegmatic"! like.. phlegmy and sickly and sluggish.. urgh..

You tell me, please.....

What is the DISC model? The DISC Model of Human Behavior describes the four basic temperament types: (Choleric (D-type), Sanguine (I-type), Phlegmatic (S-type), and Melancholy (C-type).

- Active/Task-oriented "D" - Dominating, Directing, Demanding, Determined, Decisive, Doing.
- Active/People Oriented "I" - Inspiring, Influencing, Inducing, Impressing, Interactive, Interested in people.
- Passive/People-oriented "S" - Steady, Stable, Shy, Security-oriented, Servant, Submissive, Specialist
- Passive/Task-oriented "C" - Cautious, Competent, Calculating, Compliant, Careful, Contemplative

Whatever It is... I'm not Dominating.. THATS FOR SURE.

I play a co-ordinator role, being sandwiched between being the "S" and the "I"; I'm leaning towards "S"-type personality, but am very much an "I" person as well.. {durh, the workshop};

I like to ask the "WHY?" questions; and would be perfect for a teacher/ counsellor jobs.. *rolls eyes*


Current MSN Nick: Sanguine or phlegmatic? [it was "Peeling... like a banana..." just now]
