"I D" please....
Surprisingly the Personal Profile System test, did accurately gauge my management orientation....and according to the results of the test...I'm an "I'' with a high "D". People who fall within the "I" category are supposedly seen as natural born leaders. After reading that info, I was a bit surprised to find out that my managment orientation would be that of a natural born leader. In a way it made me feel a bit more confident of how personality would effect my management skills. I feel I fit in very well with this category--- the tendencies of an "I" person....describe me almost to the tee. I like to make favorable impressions, I'm an enthusiastic person, enjoy entertaining people, like to network, and I most of the time do view people and situations optimistically. The high "D" tendencies embedded in me are: the fact that I like to cause action, accept challenges, and make quick decisions. I've noticed that I like to be in environments where there is opportunity for advancement and individual accomplishments. I do believe that these type of tests are helpful in determining people's management "type" because not only can you better understand the person, but you can also take note of whether your capable of either working together with that person. Personally I would not want to be dominant in any other category, BUT I would like to be a bit more conscientious in my management orientation. Why? So that hopefully when it comes my decision making, I can be more analytical and accurate---instead of choosing the first satisficing decision that comes to mind.

While the profile indicated that you are a I high D, I disagree. I do Believe you are influential but i think you concentration on key details and use systematic approach to activites. Your always diplomatic with everyone ; you demonstated this well in the last task we had. Finally you are always weighing pros and cons. I just think you look more on the effects of others than just getting your way. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that the profile test was right about you being a "I" with a high "D" because you do always bring enthusiasm energy to our group and view the situations optimistically making our work environment very favorable. I can also see how the high D also fits in because you come up with ideas and you tend to believe strongly in them, and this shows your ability to take authority:)
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I agree with you that I type people with high D are natural born leaders. I got opposite. I'm a D type with high I and I noticed that I'd rather sometimes use power than just merely persuade people. But I'd like to learn that from I type...
ReplyDeleteI agree with the DISC test on your result. Working with you in our group discussions you come out as an enthusiastic, magnetic, and optimistic person, key "ingredients" of an "I" person. You have a strong personality and most of the time an opinion that is worth listening.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely an I personality. You're very good at making a favorable impression and you help to motivate the environment in a great way. You also view people an situations optimistically which is a rare thing to have.
