Sheila Moran ~Broker Bits~: Knowing YOU and YOUR style ~ so you can KNOW others

I just couldn't resist.  Jimmy Stewart wrote this great post yesterday  about why his Active Rain blog is so important to him.  He mentions that he took a personality test.  His version was a Behavior Styles test.  He also mentions how his personality will help him help people with what he possesses.   

Many of the comments mentioned the DISC personality test, which we use heavily in our office.  I noticed that some people were interested about the DISC test so I thought I would share with you a website where you can take a quick and easy test (as well as your office mates, employees and team members) to see where everyone falls into place.  This is an online version and costs only $16.00.  Once you have the results and you know "what" your style is you are able to apply it in different ways.  You can take an additional "team assessment" to place the people on your team in the proper strengths positions or take a career assessment.  There are many things that can be achieved with better understanding from these tests.  

To take the test yourself, go to

www.MotivationalLiving.com        

Once you have your results it will tell you exactly which style you are:  D I S or C   What the strengths are of these different types, how others perceive you, how you perceive yourself and what could be personal growth areas for your type.  

My top 2 profiles are D & I (I'll let you figure out what they mean), but my highest strength is a Persuader.  I have included the "outline" of such. 

Persuader

An extremely outgoing and social person/ sheila tends to make friends easily and likes to have

fun with others. She wants to make commitments even if she may be unable to keep them;

but that is because of her desire to please, not because of any intent to deceive, sheila tends

to be very spontaneous, easily becoming bored with routine tasks.

sheila is motivated by her ability to lead groups and influence others around her. She is

someone who takes the responsibility of leadership seriously when it is given to her, and is

typically able to make important decisions without delay. She exudes confidence and others

respond to sheila's natural ability to be a front runner.

Others see sheila as a versatile person whom they rely upon to break up monotonous or

routine situations. She tends to be individualistic, and may sometimes prefer to do things

outside of the team. sheila may even be perceived as "restless", since she tends to move

quickly from one thing to the next.

sheila likes to try an innovative approach, and may even resist expected behavior. She likes to

make decisions based on her "gut feeling", relying on her intuition to determine what she feels

to be the best approach to a solution. She may sometimes be viewed as controversial because

she tends to seek extreme or unorthodox measures of achieving her goals. sheila may not be

very detail-oriented, and this will tend to create a need for others to "fill in the gaps" when

finishing things up,

After you have taken the test come back here and tell me what YOUR style is !
