First off, i admit, I totally missed this blog assignment...my bad.

In Any event, I thought the D.I.S.C test was interesting. I took a similar test about 7 years ago for the company I was working for, and the results were about the same. I cam out to be a D,C, which according to the analysis sounds pretty accurate.

Other than being "interesting", I think these sorts of tests are effective to use as a supplement to one's personal file in the work place. I don't however feel they should be the only measure used to analyze a person's inner thought process or makeup.

As far as wishing I was another letter, I don't. I'm relatively happy with the way that I operate. It's a general rule of mine to not wish I was something or somebody else.

I chatted with a few people around me in regards to their outcomes, and for the most part, it sounds like the analysis came out pretty accurate. I think the diversity of the sample set questions helps solidify the final results in the end.

Again, all in all I think this exercise is a good supplement for human resource type files, but should not be used as a sole tool.

I agree with you, those kind of tests should't be the only measure to define someone's personality. It is a kind of supplement as you said, but to be honest, it describe my personality exactly.

I agree with both of you. These personality tests are a good tool as they put you in the right direction but ultimately, our personalities are much more than a software output.

But knowing you in class, I think the DISC results suits your personality.

I agree with you that these sorts of test are suitable in the workplace more than in personal life.
