i just did the DISC thingi... basically it is a testing to discover what type of people u are... and you all can get it from SSD...
and................... after the test, my primary styles is STEADINESS, secondary style is INFLUENCE. let me explain what they are...
Steadiness, another term= amiable, supporter
Emphasis: Maintaining the environment to carry out specific tasks
Key to Motivation: Appreciation
Basic Intent: To support
The "S" quadrant person thrives in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere without much pressure, one that offers security, limited territory, predictable routine, and credit for work accomplished.
You are usually amiable. easy-going, warm-hearted, home-loving, and neighborly. On the other hand, you may be undemonstrative ad controlled. You conceal your feelings and sometimes hold a grudge.
Most of the time S people are even-tempered, low-key, emotionally mature, unobtrusive. You are generally content with the status quo and prone to leniency with yourself and others.
S people dislike change. once under way, you work steadily and patiently, and you dislike deadlines. You are usually very possessive and develop strong attachments for your things, your family, your department, your position.

Influence, other terms= expressive, persuader
Emphasis: Creating the environment by motivating and aligning others to accomplish results.
Key to motivation: recognition
Basic Intent: To Persuade
"I" quadrant people thrive on social contact, one-on-one situations, and freedom from control and detail. I's are friendly outgoing, persuasive, and confident.
Your basic interest is people. You are poised and meet strangers well. People seem to respond to you naturally, and you usually have a wide range of acquaintances. Your innate optimism and people skills help you get along with most people, including competitors.
Often very fashionable dressers, I's join organizations for prestige and personal recognition.
