BEHAVIORAL STYLE

The results I obtained from the Extended DISC Personal Analysis Questionnaire show that my behavioral style is I. I is my primary behavioral style and it I-behavioral styles are talkative, sociable, optimistic, and lively. The assessment shows that I-styles tend to be positive and good at influencing others. In addition, my behavioral style may over-promise due to being so optimistic and eager to be popular. Others may perceive my behavioral style as somewhat careless, impulsive, and lacking follow-up. My style is characterized by being people-oriented, spontaneous, energetic, and enthusiastic. Figure 1 shows The Diamond, which examines traits of my behavioral style and highlights that I am positive with people.

The light gray illustrates the areas where it is easy for me to develop and the white shows where I would require a lot of energy, time, and adjustment of behavior to develop those traits within that area.
