Assessments for Week 1

DISC Assessment

It took me some time to decide which were my most-to-least working behavior characteristics. The results did not surprise me, thouhg. My highest score was in “S” Steadiness: “Sympathetic and Cooperative. S's are helpful people who like working behind the scenes, performing in consistent and predictable ways, and being good listeners” DISC Profile DISC personality test, http://www.disc-report.com/?gclid=CKfuyv3vsIsCFU9FGAod2ihP3A . I do not like to be in the spot but I am not afraid of work, so my team members now have a better idea how I could contribute to the final project. My lowest score was in “D” Dominance, so that make sense to the way I feel and behave in working in a group.

Tieger Assessment of Personality Type (TAPT)

My TAPT results also did not surprise me. I did this test before and got the same results. My profile is as follows:

“I” Introvert, prefer to focus their attention and process the world on their inner world.

“S” Sensers, prefer to deal with information that is tangible, factual, and objective. They prefer data to ideas. They typically like spreadsheets, reports, charts, graphs. facts, and figures.

“F” Feelers base their decisions on their person-centeres values. They strive for harmony and equanimity and base their decisions on their own and others’ feelings.

“J”Judgers prefer order, structure, and organization. They’re the “Things I’ve Got to Do Today” list makers (this is so me). They like to feel in control of their environment and their life. They prefer to start a project, complete it, and then move on to the next. They are linear thinkers.

The way I understand this is that we have some qualities from all the characteristics but depending of our ideas, values and behavior some are more constant than other in our own personality. From all these four categories the last one “J” is the one that describe me better in the way I direct and behave in life.

NLP Style

My score here was almost the same in the visual, auditory and kinesthetic, just a difference of 1 point. I did it again and did not change much. The visual area is predominant by 1 point in the way I appreciate and interact with the world and others. I could compare it with the acquisition of knowledge, not every child learns the same way. The same method does not work well for every child and the NLP confirms the theory I have that some children learn better by touch, others by hearing and others by visualization. So, phonetics that works well to teach reading to many children may not be useful for others that need a different technique and approach to reading.

I posted "I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand." - Chinese Proverb before reading about the NLP Style and now I see some relationship between them, do you agree with me?
