The DISC Survey is designed to measure four basic styles of behavior.
Those are Directing, Influencing, Supportive, and Contemplative.
Each style has strong points, and possible weaknesses, to an
individual’s effectiveness. The survey materials will show both
productive aspects of each of the four styles, as well as
counterproductive aspects.
Take the DISC Survey online using the instructions found in the Week
One Assignments page. Then, complete the following assignment that
is due in the Dropbox by the end of Week Two of the session.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
Write a 3 to no more than 5 page double-spaced paper [be sure to use
subheadings to identify each section] in which you use the results of
your DISC Survey. The content of your DISC paper should include,
but is not limited to, answers to the following questions:
I. Describe your personal styles (25 points)
Describe your strongest style(s) and your weakest style. Provide
examples to illustrate how the strong styles characterize you (or, in the
case of your weakest style, do not characterize you). If your profile is
balanced, describe either how the four styles equally characterize you
or how your styles change depending on circumstances.
II. Discuss how you developed your styles (25 points)
Consider the possible effects of family, school, organizational
memberships, and/or culture on the development of your self-reported
styles. Discuss the factor that you think was most important in shaping
your personal styles.
III. Assess the impact of your styles on your effectiveness (25 points)
