personal profile system

The DICS personal profile, it has four facrors:Dominance: driving for results, making decisions, challenging self and others ; Influence: motivating people, generating enthusiasm, cultivating relationships ;Steadiness: developing specialist skills, thorough, consistent & persistent
Compliance: concentrating on detail, monitoring quality and assessing risk . I did the test that I found I am S-C type. It is partially correct that the test said about me. I am not the leader type person, but I always cooperate with other in the most of circumstance. I am not confident most opf time. If I want to be more confident, it is not easy for me to change. We all heard that some one said that everyone has potential to adapt to survive in certain environment. It means that we have chance to change ourselves in order to survive but it usually happens under extremely hard condition. For the corporates use the test to select right employees , I do not think that it is right way to do that. people can manipulate their answer if they know that the test is used to determine them.

  1. I ever much agree on ur last statement. People can and many will manipulate their answers if they need to. That is also why I don't really agree with this exam. Though my trait came out right and I got "D" and believe that I am a "D", I don't think everyones will be true.

  2. Working with you, I did notice that you are very cooperative. But you also had your opinions and ideas. I agree, great confidence is not easy to achieve. But you have to take small steps. I'm sure that you will improve your confidence.

  3. I'm also a S-C type and I find that it's not so accurate about me as well. I mean most of the traits, I can relate to them. I also wish I was more confident, but it's just not in my nature to be so, therefore I don't really want to change :)

  4. Our results are similar in a way. I got C-S instead of S-C. I can see that I emphasize on the individual task performance more than being collaborative with the group. You are like the exact opposite of me even though we both hold the same types of attribute.
