Personality profiling

elbeno, 18 November, 2008

I recently took a DISC assessment at work. It’s similar to MBTI which I took a while back at my old company.

When I last did MBTI, I came out as ESTP – but almost central on the E/I, S/N, and P/J scales. The only strong preference was T rather than F.

When I did DISC, after answering the questions the first time, the software told me I didn’t fit any of its patterns, that this was less than 1% of the population, and that I should do it again. So I did it again, consciously slightly biasing my answers, and I came out with very neutral D and S, slightly low I, and markedly higher C. So I’m an “objective thinker”. Even keeled, diplomatic, likely to persuade by factual argument. I’ll take that.
