DISC analysis

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.11.13

I had one of those DISC personality profiles done through an affiliate of my night school teacher. This version had a number of features added by the company that runs it, so it came to an endless 57 pages.

One thing I found interesting was the set of skills (out of 25) where I rated weakest: sales, conflict resolution, and negotiation. The name of the course I'm taking is "Persuasion and Negotiation in Business". The other course I was considering was simply on conflict resolution. So that section resonated!

Another interesting bit was the wheel showing the various aspects of my motivation, the so-called "driving forces".

Apparently, I don't put much stock in intuition or structure or harmony.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
