ABC of DISC

According to the test I was high D which - in my opinion is absolutly true. In theory I think that this kind of tests help to understand the nature of the man and allows the manager to make correct decisions whether or not particular person should perform particular task. On the other hand people and especially humar nature can change. Highly motivated people (employees) under the right leadership can change maybe not their nature but they can adjust themselves to particular task. But as I mentioned earlier it is good to know the theory because it decreses the probability of making the mistakes. Should we use these "people's types" when we date somebody? Hmm.. I think thaty we should not. In my opinion the whole beauty of dating is to explore and discover the nature of the partner. Sometimes the science theory put between the human relationships is misleading and simply doesn't work. I think that friendship and love have thier own ways, and the science should not be involved.

Hi Rafal!
I don’t know what to say about you being a type D. maybe you are but I just could not see it while doing our activities in class.
I agree with what you said about the Disc test. It’s true that the use of this kind of tests will help managers assess the ability of their workers in performing certain tasks. This test will not give exact results of how a person reacts in certain situations but it provides a general indication. One should also keep in mind that people adjust to the environment they are in and in particular under a good leadership. I think that the test can give managers ideas about the personality types of their workers so that to design teams that consist of people with different characteristics that can work well together. I definitely agree with you that this test will not work in personal relationships. There is more to the personal relationships than what the test can provide.
