Understanding The
Different Character Traits
My strength are often very much my weaknesses,
Our similarities are often our greatest differences.
- quoted prof. lin
according to the study of the D.I.S.C test
we all possess all of the different kind of character
but yet we 'adopt' a different characteristic under different circumstances
base on the things we are doing and people we are with
so we are not 'fixed' in the kind of character we possess
a naturally D person is someone who is decisive
sees a vision or a goal and runs after it
NO MATTER what is to come
some people becomes D when placed under circumstances
where there is a need to get things done
or with people who are very passive and indecisive
side note:
it sounds like D is a very good character to 'adopt'
because they are decisive and get things done
can be someone who provides the vision
however like i said, our strength is often our weaknesses
hence watch out for the danger of bringing it to an extreme of becoming
possessive, domineering, demanding, insistent, opinionated
unknowingly bringing to the people around them a kind of pressure to perform
a naturally I person is someone who is very interactive in nature
loves to talk and break the ice in a gathering
very outspoken, maybe to the extend of doing or saying 'silly' things
just to make everyone laugh
some people who are lower I or are trained to be I due to circumstance where
there is a need to constantly interacts with people due to work or call of duty
and if placed under pressure can be lost
side note:
sounds like I people are very much easier to get along with
brings ease to a big group gathering
because of their interactive nature
but yet if taken to an extreme
speak without thinking, does whatever they like, untidy
a naturally S person is very pastoral
tends to be very caring and considerate
this is a characteristic which i feel that very seldom people become
when they are placed under pressure
very often this is one that got to flow naturally out of the person
side note:
sounds unique and good
cause everyone should be caring and considerate
can be someone who bring comfort to the people around
but yet if taken to extreme they may be
passive, more concern about what people think or say than what they feel is right,
do not have their own stand, easily pushed over, easily hurt
brings frustration to the people around for their level of indecisiveness
a naturally C person is one who has the eye for details
thinks about every and any possibility that can happen in a situation
analysis anything and everything, deep thinker
not shallow and thinks through every possible thing they can think of before acting on them
some people become C due to the things they are handling
and the people they work or mix around with
side note:
sounds like C people are those who knows what they want
very careful as to not rushing into things
often the one that shows the way to the vision
but yet taken to extreme they can become
quite critical, thoughts over thought,
affected by things people do or words people say even to the slightest comment,
dont get things done because of the level of contemplation
can end up bringing a kind of unknown pressure to people around
because of the level they 'slice' everyone and everything up through analyzing
but like i said
we 'adopt' a different characteristic when we are with different people too
so let's look at how can our similarities be our differences too
firstly, 2 D person will work together very will
instead they can become like a force where no one can break
that's the strength of 2 as compared to 1
but yet that is IF they have a similar goal
if not they will end up constantly, insistently running 'against' each other
or for a better use of words
running in a different direction
and the nature of anything that is divided is that
it will not stand
and with their strong 'goal or vision' they might end up quarreling all the time
side note:
got to learn to sit down and 'count the cost'
set the goal and vision before each other
and plan the path so that they dun end up running 'against' each other
where as when 2 I people come together
they will REALLY enjoy each others company
and can enjoy and finds joy in every little thing
will love to spend alot of time together
but yet they might end up not achieving much in life
cuz of their love for carefree life style
and dun like to be pressured
side note:
other than just enjoying and have fun together
take some time to plan
and set some goals to achieve together while having fun
2 S people coming together will be a good company
both are as patient to each other
understanding and very much concern about how each other feels
but they might never get things done
due to the passiveness and indecisiveness
and the level of concern over every little comment people make
side note:
write down what are your plans once you decide on them
and stick to them no matter what other people say
run your own life and not ruled by others
know that destiny is your own hands
you are who God says or thinks you are
not what others say or think about you
2 C people can be very very good friends
both analysis at the same level
will enjoy debating about issues, thoughts and values
have the capacity to contain the level how each other analysis things
understandings each other frustration over issues of life
but yet might end up might end up 'assuming' things
taking it as they analysis it to be
end up 'slicing' each other up as well
analysis each others to the very single thought
and 'assume' it as it is because of the level of understanding
side note:
got to learn to communicate especially when it comes things concerning each other
because very often there is no problem with communicating and debating over other things
but its the danger of the idea that they 'overly understands' each other
and do not talk things out regarding each other
assuming it to be right and expecting the other person to know and understand
NORMALLY in extreme cases:
D people and I people cannot stand each other
cuz D will feel that I are not serious and just love to enjoy
and I will not understand why the D got to be so tense and serious all the time
D people and S people cannot really work together
cuz there will be a kind of frustration over
the indecisiveness of the S
and the demands of the D
D people and C people can be good partners
they compliment each other quite well
as D sets the goal and C directs the path
but still have the risk of frustration of
D not thinking and C thinking too much
I people and S people wont really get things done
but they can be quite fun
just that the S might not have 'enough' energy level to contain the I
I people and C people can have 'controlled' fun
still have fun but not to an 'extreme' kind
the I might feel a bit restricted by the unknown pressure carried by the C
causing a tone down in the level of I
might not be able to live together
as the rage of frustration can get quite high when the I gets a bit too untidy
when the C feels the need to keep everything neat and tidy
S people and C people can get along well
the C can comment and analysis all they want
and the S though might not really understand what the C is saying or going through
will just be a very good listening ear
but the level of getting things done can also be quite limited at times
cuz with the level of contemplation of a C already might have been over thought
and if the S is very passive then the speed of even getting start
will be very much 'delayed'
actually like mentioned earlier
we all possesses all 4 characteristics
just that we 'adopt' a different one at a different level
due to the different people we are with and the different circumstances
hence in conclusion
these are just character traits to be use as guides
as to how we can communicate, interact and work with people better
=)
*for C people, please do not OVER ANALYSIS this
because it is very much analyzed le
haha
