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 explain that if I didn’t focus on the task at hand I wouldn’t be able to be a successful person in life and the work force. What I have learned is that by keeping a goal focused mind and maintaining a “To Do” list I am able to have the time necessary to fulfill that natural tendency of talking and still be able to complete the tasks daily. In addition to being talkative, I am also persuasive. This is a characteristic that can be a positive attribute and also a negative quality depending on how I use it. Throughout life I have seen how my opinion can be dominant and control a conversation or influence others to follow choices I have made. My younger brother Taylor was a high school student back in California and saw the choices I made in high school and chose to follow. In preparation for my mission I was able to change my life and become worthy to enter the temple and serve a full time mission. Whilst being in England serving for two years I wrote him regularly sharing sacred experiences that have changed me. By communicating with him regularly he straightened his life around and now is serving in Detroit, Michigan. I have seen on numerous occasions the power that I can have in persuading others, especially in righteous ways.

    My primary thinking styles according to my circumplex were conventional and self-actualizing with a 93 percentile score and my back up thinking styles were humanistic-encouraging and achievement with an 85 percentile score. I can say that my primary and backup thinking styles goes well together because they make up my personality into a whole as I’ve seen as I matured. I learned as stated in humanistic-encouraging and self actualizing that I am a good listener and communicates ideas easily which is something that I learned you have to learn to listen before communicating. In the past I would speak without listening which would always cause a conflict in conversations. The conventional style works with my issues I have with being indecisive about everyday processes like shopping or getting dressed for the day because I love to be presented well especially having a love for fashion. I am working on the issues of being conventional because it can come across to others as being cocky or conceited. The achievement that associated with my backup thinking styles is accurate with some of the things on the list such as ambitious and achieving because when I set a goal I have a time set and I make sure that the goal is met with in the time period.…

    Self-management will assist in defining my goals and determine the roles I fit into within teams. I will stay committed to completing the mission by completing all tasks, and show my competence by improving existing skills. I’ll have to prove my integrity by complying with all standards and regulations. By demonstrating initiative, I will prove myself as a follower by exceeding benchmarks. My weakness in “The Five Essential Qualities for Followership” is my integrity. I lack integrity at times because I take shortcuts and skip steps in directions. Improving on my weaknesses is important because I want all my teammates to see me as a competent and knowledgeable worker.

    My second most dominant Spiritual Gift is Exhortation. This means that I like to encourage people, work wel with others as well as one-on-one and have a “get it done” attitude. I agree with this Spiritual Gift for many reasons. As I was reading the analysis it talked about how I need to be careful not to interrupt others. It was very ironic to read as I tend to jump into conversations while others are speaking because I am excited about the topic. There was one part that I disagreed with. It said that I am very “serious-minded, orderly and able to explain how to apply God’s word.” I feel that these are area’s I am weak in and need to work on.…

    When I was in fifth grade, my class talked about lockdown procedures. I was shocked at how little our school could do to keep out intruders, but even more surprised that people involved in school shootings didn’t see the ways around the simple defences. My mind instantly came up with limitless ways someone harmful could get into my school. Of course, I will never do something like a shooting, but it was easy to see ways someone could. In addition, one of my favorite things to do is to read about psychology or a story about someone and then use it to analyze people and ideas. Whenever I am just sitting in a crowded place, I study what people are doing and try to get a better idea of who they are and why they do things. This shows that I have an analytical way of thinking. Going along with being analytical, I also hold back a lot of sharp retorts. Whenever someone says something uneducated or rude, I have to hold my tongue so I don’t offend them. It’s the same way when people use incorrect grammar. These issues and other things, including some things that have happened in my family, have not made it easier for me to keep things back, but I have gotten better at it. This shows my self-restraint. As for being clever, I don’t exactly know, but when I was younger, I could always find a way to get out of trouble and someone else into trouble. I could talk my little sister into anything. Now I try to use this for better causes, like getting good grades or solving a riddle, but the trait is still there. I can usually come up with points and ideas quickly. Although I do have these character traits in common with Doctor Livesey, we are not exactly the same. I consider myself a leader, but not always in a quiet way. I go for it. At times, I am more likely to take an active side in an argument rather than try to end it. In addition, I do not always think before I act like the doctor does. While…

    A challenge for me is my more reserved demeanor. Although I provide input to others when asked, I often hesitate to express my opinion first. With awareness of this I push myself to be more assertive, take initiative and not question myself internally.

    To start off my essay I would like to begin with my two strongest qualities identified through the Success Profiler Assessment. The first one is self-esteem which I have been told I have a lot of. I’m in sports and the mindset that my coaches always taught me was no matter what before you step out you must always believe you are the best out there and show that you are. Another reason is my father is in the U.S army and he has a very high level of self-esteem as well as my siblings because that’s how our father always told us to be that we were the best and people will look at us as the best. My parents always told me that you can be all you can if you put your mind to it so I push myself to do great things and when I accomplish them they boost my self-esteem only making me want to accomplish more and make a statement. I want to join the military and I want to have enough confidence in myself I am capable of accomplishing any task to serve my country while being a better citizen as well. My next quality is interpersonal assertion. I am really well with taking criticism if it is benefiting me and making me better at a task. I don’t get upset or lash out because someone told me I was doing something wrong and they simply just wanted to help me accomplish my goal by telling me what to improve on.…

    For example, when kids would cry or want attention, they seemed to come to me for comfort. I was dedicated to learning about them and creating an amiable relationship with them throughout that one brief week in Haiti. Seeing how those kids appreciated how devoted I was to them caused me to think of the dedication I display to my family, friends, school, and sports. I noticed that in whatever I do, I always try to give it my all and stay committed to that person or situation. During volleyball season at my high school, I do my best to be faithful to my team and the game and this mindset has resulted in me winning our school's total release award two years in a row. No matter what, in any position I am in, I work my hardest and show true dedication to all my relationships with friends and family as well as with my school work and church responsibilities. In the future, I plan to excel in my daily life and professional situations by staying loyal and working my hardest in…

    My actions are always a direct showcase of my personal characteristics. A few that are particularly important are having patience, being non-judgmental, and thinking creatively. I learned a majority of my patience through my position as a research position. Research does not have immediate results; a good experiment takes time. My seemingly menial tasks, such as entering data, eventually contributed to the final product. I learned to be non-judgmental in my time shadowing an obstetrician, where I interacted with patients with so many stories. To judge them would cause a disservice, and potentially harm them. Finally, I learned to think creatively during my time at the Guild for Human Services. Each student was unique in his or her problems,…
