Welcome to your mydiscprofile personality report

Welcome to your personality report

This report will give you some vital pointers to help you understand the way you currently behave, and to help you build an effective strategy to help you reach your goals.

We don't claim that this report can give you all the answers, but based on your responses to the mydiscprofile questionnaire, we hope you'll find some important insights and useful life tips in this report.

How to read your report

Important information about this report

ImportantDon't skip this section!

Your report has been compiled from your answers by an automatic process based purely on the answers you gave to the questionnaire. That means that it's completely objective, and it's also direct - in assessing your existing strengths, and also in making suggestions that might help you develop towards your goals.

While reading your report, it's important to be aware of a subtle effect that psychologists call confirmation bias. In the context of a report like this, that means that most people will tend to agree with the most positive comments about themselves, and reject less positive remarks. Often, though, it's exactly the suggestions that challenge preconceptions that are the most useful, so try to weigh the contents of the report accordingly.

That doesn't mean that we insist everything in this report must be true! The details given here are based on your answers to the questionnaire, and we hope you'll find them truly useful in helping to understand yourself, or at least give you some important topics to think about. However, the personalities of human beings are immensely variable - probably infinitely so - and a simple test like this can only cover a finite number of possibilities.

With all that in mind, we hope you find much in your report to engage your interest and suggest possibilities for the future.

What are the most basic elements of your personality?

What are the most basic elements of your personality?

We analyze the answers you gave to the questionnaire to work out the values for four fundamental factors in your personal style. From the combinations of these values, we can tell a great deal about your personality. These four most basic factors are shown in this graph:

Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Compliance

Dominance

A measure of your directness and assertiveness, associated with a willingness to take risks and accept challenges. You have a balanced attitude toward behaviour of this kind.

Influence

A measure of your sociability, openness and confidence with others. Influence is a moderately important factor in your personal style.

Steadiness

A measure of your patience with others, and your readiness to take a thoughtful, long-term approach. You have a balanced attitude toward behaviour of this kind.

Compliance

A measure of your interest in structure and order, and your willingness to comply with rules and regulations. Compliance is a relatively unimportant factor in your style.

So, what does that mean in practice?

You're a confident and open individual who enjoys the company of others, and actively seeks out positive and friendly relations with the people around you. You communicate easily with others, whether they're familiar to you or not, and you're not afraid to find yourself at the center of attention.

How are these scores calculated?

How DISC scores are calculated

Your results are created from your answers to the mydiscprofile questionnaire using a profiling system known as DISC (from the initials of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance). DISC is widely used in professional personal assessments, and mydiscprofile uses the same underlying theory to give you a personal report built using professional techniques.

What are your most important traits?

Some of the most prominent personality traits in your style are listed here:

Openness

Being ready to express your thoughts and feelings without reservation.

Communication

Interacting positively and effectively with other people.

Cheerfulness

Maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude to life.

Talkativeness

Showing an expressive and socially outgoing attitude.

Light-heartedness

Showing a humorous attitude, and a readiness to look on the bright side of life.

Handy Hint

The word trait just refers to any distinct feature or element of your personality. If you're unsure about any of the terms used in this report, remember that you can always check the Glossary.

Your most important traits

More about your general approach

Here's a selection of 'Style Keynotes' that highlight various important features of your personal style:

  • You tend to take an optimistic view of things, and even in difficult situations you'll look on the positive side. Your pleasant and generally trusting approach means that you're often able to help resolve conflicts between others.
  • You have a strongly sociable side to your character. Because of this, it's likely that those who know you well regard you as good company, and you also have the personal confidence to connect easily when meeting people for the first time.
  • You're open to feelings, both your own and those of others, and you're ready to make judgments based on those feelings. Your open and informal style means that you often act in a spontaneous way, but you can also be extremely loyal to those around you.

What are your most important values?

You strongly value your relationships with those around you. You're concerned for others' feelings, and you'll do your best to avoid causing offense or discomfort. You're also an outgoing type of person, and you'll be ready to demonstrate your concern through direct action when it's practical to do so.

Values are an important feature of any personality, and you can find out more about your particular set of values in the 'Core Values' section later in this report.

Your most important values

How does your personal style compare with other people?

This chart divides personalities up into twenty-five blocks, and is set up in such a way that people are divided more-or-less equally across the chart (that is, each block generally contains about 4% of the population as a whole). We've marked the block that contains your style so you can see how it compares with the other possibilities.

mydiscprofile Style Card

Your Style

Your style is highly Assertive, and also somewhat Open.

Assertive

A measure of willingness to take direct action, or to take charge of a situation. This is a very strong feature of your personal style.

Controlled

A measure of self-reliance, relating to an analytical and precise approach. This kind of behavior rarely appears in your personal approach.

Open

A measure of a person's willingness to communicate freely and express their ideas. This is a very strong feature of your personal style.

Receptive

A measure of acceptance of others, and a readiness to show patience and caution. This kind of behavior rarely appears in your personal approach.

Your Core Values

The heart of your personality
Positive and Negative

What are 'Core Values'?

For most people, the driving forces behind their approach to life can ultimately be summed up in terms of a few brief concepts. These concepts are referred to here as 'Core Values': they're the internal 'signpost' we use to judge situations, and work out how to react to them.

For example, let's say you're a person who values 'Challenge'. If that's the case, you'll actively seek out situations that provide you with the challenging conditions you prefer, and avoid those that don't. You'll also tend to judge events and people depending on the extent to which they fulfill this particular need.

Positive and Negative

Core Values aren't always positive in their effects: they can have a negative impact, too. Events or developments that challenge these basic values can lead to responses ranging from disinterest to discomfort.

So, an understanding of the Core Values that lie at the heart of your personal approach to life can be extremely helpful in understanding how and why you react the way you do.

What are your 'Core Values'?

In this section, we've selected a few Core Values that closely match your own personal style. These are the kinds of values that underlie the way you look at life, and the way you form judgments about the events and people in your life.

What are <i>your</i> 'Core Values'?

Optimism

You're a person who likes to see the positive side of things, and you'll wish to use your outgoing and informal style to spread an equally positive attitude to those around you. You tend to take a confident and broad view of events, rather than concerning yourself with questions of detail or technicalities.

Communication

Being able to express yourself to others is one of your most important values. You have a confident and outgoing style, and you're ready to use that style to make a point or explain an idea. This underlying focus on communication means that you will tend to be attracted to situations where there is plenty of opportunity to interact with others and, conversely, you'll tend to avoid more isolated situations.

Openness

As a person who freely expresses yourself to others, you'll want to feel that those around you are receptive to your thoughts and ideas. Indeed, you'll generally prefer relaxed conditions where others are as free in communication as yourself, and avoid more formal situations.

Abilities, Strengths, Limitations

Understanding the advantages, and the limits, of your style
Abilities, Strengths, Limitations

Every different type of personality has its own distinctive strengths, and its own distinctive abilities that stem from those strengths. Those same strengths and abilities are always - without exception - balanced by limitations and disadvantages. The key to making the most of your personal style is understanding where your strengths and limitations lie. Armed with that knowledge, you can take maximum advantage of your strengths, while avoiding potential problems arising from your personal limits.

Strengths and Limitations

In this section, you'll find a breakdown of your most important areas of strength, each shown with all its related advantages, abilities and limitations.

Icon: StrengthThis symbol marks the strengths of each facet of your personality, areas where that aspect of your style gives you real advantages.

Icon: LimitationThis symbol marks the limitations that balance out of each of your strengths, describing conditions where your approach might be less effective.

Communication

Icon: StrengthYour focus on others, and your communicative abilities, makes you particularly capable when it comes to developing relationships and in building a socially positive atmosphere. You're confident with those around you, and you're also open to their opinions and ideas.

Icon: LimitationWhile you're confident with others, especially in a social sense, you're not particularly assertive in a direct and dominant way. This means that you tend not to deal well with difficult or antagonistic situations, when a more determined and self-reliant attitude may be called for.

Openness

Icon: StrengthYou communicate in a free and confident manner, and you're able to interact positively with others to build strong relationships. You're concerned with others' feelings, and you can be effective in helping to resolve personal difficulties or disagreements.

Icon: LimitationWhile your concern for others often helps you relate in a positive way, you can be reluctant to act in ways that might risk disapproval or confrontation. This can mean that you tend not to deal well with more pressured or stressful situations.

Sociability

Icon: StrengthYou possess a natural capacity for open and effective communication with others. You're able to fit easily into most social situations, and your combination of an extrovert and expressive side with a more accepting and empathetic element to your nature means that you are able to interact effectively with people of almost any type.

Icon: LimitationYour personal confidence will tend to depend on how you perceive your environment. You can be highly effective in situations where you feel appreciated or accepted, but you adapt rather less well to situations that you see as antagonistic or potentially hostile, so that you'll tend to avoid negative conditions of that kind.

Personal Development

Directions for change in your personal style

What is ‘personal development’?

As well as building a picture of your personality as it stands at the moment, the mydiscprofile questionnaire can also extrapolate from that picture to identify the kinds of changes or adaptations you'd likely want to see in your approach. These adaptations are typically due to your perceptions of how you ideally need to behave to fit into your current life situation.

Personal Development is the process of adapting your personal style to meet these perceived requirements. In this section, we look at the kinds of directions you seem to be wanting to develop your style (based on your answers to the mydiscprofile question set, of course). Where possible, we also offer a range of helpful advice to guide you towards those goals.

Changes shown in your results

The chart below shows the changes in terms of your four main personality factors: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. Larger bars indicate greater potential for change in your approach, for that particular factor. Bars pointing upward indicate that you're seeking to increase the factor in question, while bars pointing downward suggest that you're looking to decrease the factor's importance.

Judge for Yourself

The Personal Development guidelines discussed in this section are calculated from the results of your profile, but only you yourself are qualified to judge the extent they apply to your own situation. More than any other section of this report, it's important to treat these comments as objective advice, rather than definitive statements.

Judge for Yourself
Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Compliance

Dominance

It appears that your current approach is seeking to adjust to a lower level of Dominance, corresponding to a less assertive and direct approach to life.

Influence

The level of Influence in your style is relatively high, and it seems that you're seeking to reduce the influence of this factor somewhat.

Steadiness

In terms of the Steadiness factor, it seems that you take a relatively balanced view, and are not seeking to increase or decrease it by a significant amount.

Compliance

Compliance is relatively low in your personal style, and you show little focus on adjusting it in either direction.

What these changes mean in practice

You seem to be looking to develop your sense of co-operation and interaction with others somewhat, and to actively take the time to discuss issues with other people. Though you're usually capable of coming quickly to a decision on your own, consulting others like this, or canvassing their opinions, might indeed provide a useful alternative perspective.

Making a change

A useful way to approach change like this is to break it down into simple steps, and think about applying each of those steps in your work and home life. Based on this assessment of your personal development targets, these are some simple approaches to change that you might find effective:

  • Though you're naturally a fairly outgoing and expressive person, you'll find it useful to identify when a situation requires a more formal and restrained approach. In cases like this, offering more serious, fact-based comments will generally be more appropriate than describing your personal feelings or opinions.
  • As a relatively direct individual, you'll often come across situations where the appropriate action seems straightforwardly obvious. Next time a situation of this kind arises, take a moment to consider your actions before asserting yourself: sometimes, a forthright approach isn't the most helpful, and a more calm and measured attitude will reveal more to a situation than first meets the eye.
  • The patterns in your style suggest that, at least sometimes, you can be too ready to react to events in a quick, instinctive way. Developing a greater level of patience means being ready to step back from events at times, and take time to allow events to develop before committing yourself.
Making a change

Relating to Other People

Interacting with those around you

How do we relate to one another?

Relationships with others are probably the key component in any discussion of personality: in fact, how we perceive others, and how others perceive us, lie at the heart of what 'personality' means.

When it comes to relating to others, it's simply not possible to understand their motivations and intentions directly: instead, it's normal to consider others' behavior through the filter of your own attitudes and presumptions. This 'filtering' effect can have an enormous effect on the way you understand others, and on the way that others see you.

Relating to one another

Understanding others

In this section, we look at the most important aspects of your personality when it comes to understanding and judging those around you. These are the most important things you look for when you're interacting with others, and they also help to define the kinds of preconceptions you bring to bear in communication.

  • Your sociable and outgoing style means that you communicate freely with others, and generally feel at ease in social situations, or those that call on social skills. You're a person who likes to take a broad view of events, and you tend to communicate more effectively at that level than with others who wish to explore matters in intricate detail.
  • Openness is the key to your personal make-up: it's not normally part of your approach to hide your intentions, or keep things from others. On that basis, you'll often tend to assume that others have a similar approach, and be ready to take what they say at face value. Individuals who are less confident or direct, though, tend to be more cautious in how they relate to others: concern to avoid causing offense or disagreement means that they won't always be as open about themselves as you may expect.
  • Attention is particularly important to you, and you like to feel that others not only acknowledge you but take your input seriously. Because of this, part of your judgment of others is based on how positively they react to you. An approach like that would be natural for most people, of course, but it seems to be particularly important in your case. It's important to be aware, though, that many people are less demonstrative and outgoing than you are, and the mere fact that they don't acknowledge you specifically should not be taken to mean that they don't appreciate your ideas or input.

How others relate to you

Your own presumptions will necessarily affect your understanding of others' personal styles, but this is equally true of everyone else. In the same way that you tend to interpret others' attitudes in your own terms, those around you will also be applying their own 'filters' to your behavior. Those filters can be extremely varied, and there isn't space to go into all the possible combinations here, but it is possible to make a few general comments.

  • It's likely that your open and communicative style is generally well-received by those around you, especially if they have similarly friendly and trusting styles themselves. This may be less true of those with a more formal attitude to life, who can sometimes see people of your kind as unduly frivolous and light-hearted.
  • It's likely that others respond warmly to your positive and confident style. This is especially true of those who share your outgoing and communicative approach, and have a similar interest in developing effective and open relationships with those around you.
  • You're a relatively trusting person, and you're open with your ideas and feelings, as well as being equally ready to listen to others. In a suitably relaxed and gregarious situation, then, others will often be ready to discuss matters openly with you.
Learning to communicate more effectively

Learning to communicate more effectively

There's little doubt that your highly sociable and personable attitude, and your naturally friendly disposition, mean that you're already a very effective communicator in many different types of situation. You have a natural sense of personal confidence, and because of that you tend to respond to others in a natural and intuitive way.

It's possible, however, that your natural and expressive approach may serve you less well than normal in situations that require a rather more formal and controlled attitude. In situations of this kind, it will be worthwhile adopting a slightly more cautious approach to communication, and taking a moment to consider your responses, for example, to any questions put to you.

Your Work Style

How your personality affects the way you work

What is your ‘work style’?

Success in the work arena is as dependent on your personal style as any other aspect of life. In this section of your personal report, we look at the ways your particular defining characteristics will tend to affect the way you operate in a working environment. We also look at how you're likely to behave in some common working situations.

Your most important work skills

Every different personality type has its own associated set of work skills, and of course there are very many of these, depending on the detailed circumstances and the requirements of a particular job.

Here, we select some of the most important work skills suggested by your profile style.

Your work style

Openness

You're a person who not only communicates openly with those around you, but who's also open to the thoughts and feelings of other people. This combination of abilities makes you an effective communicator, and in a workplace that depends on positive interaction between members of a team, your natural approach will potentially make a significant contribution.

Informality

You have a relaxed and informal attitude to life in general, and in a work situation this can help you to build effective relationships, and to foster innovative ideas. This kind of positive style can be especially effective in roles that depend on developing strong relations with others.

Building Communities

Your capacity to work positively with those around you, and to build effective personal communication in many cases, helps to develop a sense of community and involvement for all the members of a group or team. Your willingness to co-operate with others and work in partnership with them sets a strong example to encourage a cohesive working environment.

Leadership

Performance in a leadership role

Your strong interpersonal abilities lie at the heart of your interactions with others, and this will be as true in the realm of leadership as elsewhere. For you, authority comes from the building of strong and effective relationships within your team, rather than a directly demanding approach. The more strongly you can build these bonds, the better your team can be expected to work. Be careful, though, of becoming too closely involved with those around you on an emotional level: leadership will still demand a degree of dispassionate judgment from time to time.

Leadership

Teamwork

Performance as part of a team

Your strongly communicative style can be highly effective in helping to develop working relationships within a team, and so to build a sense of motivation and community. So far as a team depends on the effective interaction of its members, you're likely to find yourself an integral part of its operation.

Teamwork

Planning Your Career

Finding a role that suits your personal style

What types of roles suit you best?

The key to successful career planning is to identify roles that match your natural abilities, so that they can provide a working environment where you not only feel engaged and motivated, but also make the most effective use of your natural talents. In this section, we look at some of the types of roles that will suit your style particularly well.

Remember that this analysis is based specifically on your personality style, and no other factors.

Find out more, or set up a free business account, by using the link below.

How can I download a copy of my free report?

Sorry, but free profiles don’t provide a ‘download’ option. If you upgrade toi a full report, an option to create and download a PDF of the report is included, but that option isn’t available for free reports.

I completed an invited questionnaire. Where's my report?

When a myDISCprofile Manager user sends out an invitation, they are able to choose whether or not you will be able to view your report. If you completed a questionnaire from an invitation but did not receive a report, then it is likely that the person who sent you the original invitation simply did not activate this option.

If you expected to see a report, it may be helpful to contact the person who organized your questionnaire and request of a copy of your report from them.

Do you offer any other payment options?

All our payment options are displayed on the website. These include credit cards, ApplePay, GooglePay, AliPay and other options, depending on your device setup and location.

I completed a free questionnaire, but didn't receive an e-mail notification

Provided you entered the correct e-mail address, please check your 'spam' folder. If you’re still unable to locate your email, try the questionnaire again; its free.

I upgraded to a full report, but I didn't receive an e-mail notification or receipt.

When you upgrade from a free to a full report, we will always send you an e-mail containing a copy of your report and a receipt for your purchase. If you did not receive this, the first thing to check is that your e-mail system has not mistaken the message for 'spam' and stored it in the wrong folder.

If that doesn't help, then there may have been a problem sending the message (for instance, we may not have your correct address). In that case, please use the contact link to send us your details, and we'll organize a copy for you.

Can you send me an invoice for my report upgrade?

For free report upgrades, we're only able to provide a standard receipt. Only the myDISCprofile Manager account service provides a full invoices option for your purchases.

What is a balanced profile, and what can I do about it?

Some combinations of answers to the personality questionnaire produce a 'balanced' result, a profile with no factors that stand out strongly enough to be recognized. In situations like this, we can't analyze the results sufficiently to provide a useful interpretation.

That's no problem; you can try the free questionnaire as many times as you like. To avoid a balanced profile on further tests, try to focus more strongly on the ways you behave in a particular set of circumstances.
