Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz 10 DISC Plus Introduction About This Report Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common trait of self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and this makes it easy for them to find ways of achieving objectives that fit their behavioral style. They also understand their limitations and where they are not effective and this helps them understand where not to go or how not to be as well. Those who understand their natural behavioral preferences are far more likely to pursue the right opportunities, in the right way, at the right time, and get the results they desire. This report measures four dimensions of your behavioral style. They are: • Decisive — your preference for problem solving and getting results • Interactive — your preference for interacting with others and showing emotion • Stability — your preference for pacing, persistence and steadiness • Cautious — your preference for procedures, standards and protocols • The Elements of DISC — Educational background behind the profile, the science and the four dimensions of behavior • The DISC Dimensions — A closer look at each of your four behavioral dimensions • Style Summary — A comparison of your natural and adaptive behavioral styles • Behavioral Strengths — A detailed strengths-based description of your overall behavioral style • Communication — Tips on how you like to communicate and be communicated with • Ideal Job Climate — Your ideal work environment • Effectiveness — Insights into how you can be more effective by understanding your behavior • Behavioral Motivations — Ways to ensure your environment is motivational • Continual Improvement — Areas where you can focus on improving • Training & Learning Style — Your preferred means of sharing and receiving styles • Relevance Section — Making the information real and pertinent to you • Success Connection — Connecting your style to your own life Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz This report includes: DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior The Elements of the DISC-Index This DISC-Index report is unique in the marketplace for a number of reasons. You just completed the first ever click & drag DISC instrument on the market. This was constructed in a precise manner to allow for ease of responses, even in the midst of many difficult decisions. This intuitive interface allows you to focus on your answers, not the process. Also, unlike other DISC instruments, this instrument allows you to rank all four items instead. As a result, this instrument produces zero waste in responses. Some instruments ask you to choose two items out of four, and leave two items blank. Those instruments have a 50% waste of terms, and do not provide for an efficient response process. The DISC Index instrument eliminates that response problem. Another unique aspect of this DISC-Index report is that we present the DISC aspects of your behavior both as separate entities and as a dynamic combination of traits. This report presents the first time that as an important learning tool as you explore the deeper aspects of DISC. Your unique pattern of DISC traits is developed through the context of this report. Additionally, the following four pages will be devoted to exploring your DISC scores as separate components within the unique combination of traits that you exhibit. A comment on contradictions: You may read some areas of this report that may contradict other text. This is due to the fact that many of us show contradictory behaviors in the normal course of our daily operations. Each of us are at times talkative and other times more reflective, depending on how we are adapting our behavior. The expression of these contradictions is a demonstration of the sensitivity of this instrument to determine these subtle differences in our natural and adaptive style. Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz each of the DISC elements are separated and developed as pure entities of themselves. This can serve DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior A closer look at the four components of your behavioral style Decisive Interactive Stabilizing Cautious Problems: People: Pace: Procedures: How you tend to pace things in your environment Your preference for established protocol/ standards How you tend to How you tend to interact approach problems and with others and share make decisions opinions High I High S High C Demanding Gregarious Patient Cautious Driving Persuasive Predictable Perfectionist Forceful Inspiring Passive Systematic Daring Enthusiastic Complacent Careful Determined Sociable Stable Analytical Competitive Poised Consistent Orderly Responsible Charming Steady Neat Inquisitive Convincing Outgoing Balanced Conservative Reflective Restless Independent Mild Matter-of-fact Active Rebellious Agreeable Withdrawn Spontaneous Careless Unobtrusive Aloof Impetuous Defiant Low D Low I Low S Low C Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz High D DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior Julius dela cruz Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior Decisive Your approach to problem-solving and obtaining results The D in DISC represents Decisiveness. Your score on this scale, represented below, shows your location on the D spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example: Higher D — Tend to solve new problems very quickly and assertively. They take an active and direct approach to obtaining results. The key here is new problems such as those that are unprecedented or haven't happened before. There may also be an element of risk in taking the wrong approach or developing an incorrect solution, but those with a High D score are willing to take those risks, even if they may be incorrect. Natural - 42 / Adaptive 56 Your score shows a low average score on the 'D' spectrum. The comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your unique score. • - • • • • • You are open to deferring to others for decisions when they have voiced a stronger opinion. You may be hesitant to share your opinion with others if the topic is divisive or hotly contested. You can be very modest in dealing with others. You are quite self-critical of yourself and demand a lot out of yourself. You like to think things through before acting. You think it is important to have some time to evaluate options before acting. 10 0 Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz Lower D — Tend to solve new problems in a more deliberate, controlled, and organized manner. Again, the key here is new and unprecedented problems. The Lower D style will solve routine problems very quickly because the outcomes are already known. But, when the outcomes are unknown and the problem is an uncertain one, the Lower D style will approach the new problem in a calculated and deliberate manner by thinking things through very carefully before acting. DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior Interactive Your approach to interacting with people and display of emotions The I in DISC represents Interactive. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on the I spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example: Higher I — Tend to meet new people in an outgoing, gregarious, and socially assertive manner. The key here is new people whom one hasn't met before. Many other styles are talkative, but more so with people that they've known for some time. The Higher I scores are talkative, interactive and open even with people whom they have just initially met. People scoring in this range may also be a bit impulsive. Generally speaking, those with the Higher I scores are generally talkative and outgoing. Natural 100 90 60 / Adaptive 39 Your score shows a high average score on the 'I' spectrum. The comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your unique score. 80 • 70 • 60 • • 50 40 30 • • You work best when you are able to interact with others. You could be a bit more organized and attentive to details. You like democratic not dictatorial relationships on the job. You may sometimes promise a bit more than you can deliver because of your natural optimism. You present yourself in a poised manner to both small or large groups of people. You prefer an environment with ample people contact. 20 10 0 Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz Lower I — Tend to meet new people in a more controlled, quiet and reserved manner. Here's where the key word "new people" enters the equation. Those with Lower I scores are talkative with their friends and close associates, but tend to be more reserved with people they've just recently met. They tend to place a premium on the control of emotions, and approach new relationships with a more reflective approach than an emotional one. DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior Stabilizing Your approach to the pace of the work environment The S in DISC represents Stabilizing. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on the S spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example: Higher S — Tend to prefer a more controlled, deliberative and predictable environment. They place a premium on security of a work situation and disciplined behavior. They also tend to show a sense of loyalty to a team or organization, and as a result, may have a greater longevity or tenure in a position than some other styles. They have an excellent listening style and are very patient coaches and teachers for others on the team. Natural - 77 / Adaptive 25 Your score shows a moderately high score on the 'S' spectrum. The comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your unique score. • 70 60 • 50 • 40 • 30 • 20 • You may be slow to accept changes or let go of the old ways of doing things. Increasing your sense of urgency could benefit your performance in many instances. You always present a more relaxed and open approach to your work and how fast you must get it done. You are typically very cool, calm, and collected on the job. You are very patient. You can be fairly resistant to change. 10 0 Copyright 2018 Innermetrix Incorporated • All rights reserved Julius dela cruz Lower S — Tend to prefer a more flexible, dynamic, unstructured work environment. They value freedom of expression and the ability to change quickly from one activity to another. They tend to become bored with the same routine that brings security to the Higher S traits. As a result, they will seek opportunities and outlets for their high sense of urgency and high activity levels, as they have a preference for spontaneity. DISC Plus Four Components of Behavior Cautious Your approach to standards, procedures, and expectations The C in DISC represents Cautiousness. Your score on the scale represented below shows your location on the C spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example: Higher C — Tend to adhere to rules, standards, procedures, and protocol set by those in authority whom they respect. They like things to be done the right way according to the operating manual. "Rules are made to be followed" is an appropriate motto for those with higher C scores. They have some of the highest quality control interests of any of the styles and frequently wish others would do the same. Lower C — Tend to operate more independently from the rules and standard operating procedures. They tend to be bottom-line oriented. If they find an easier way to do something, they'll do it by developing a variety of strategies as situations demand. To the Lower C scores, rules are only guidelines, and may be bent or broken as necessary to obtain results. 90 53 / Adaptive 67 Your score shows a high average score on the 'C' spectrum. The comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your unique score. 80 • 70 • 60 • • - • • You prefer an environment that is precise and detailed.
