A Note From Deb Ingino

Congratulations on exploring your strengths!

For many of us, whether we are in our career or leading our own business, we begin to worry about our degree. "Was my degree in the

right area of study?" "Was my degree from the right college?" "How did I do in my area of study?" Then there are those of us without a

degree at all and we worry about our ability to perform. Education is important. I don't want a surgeon operating on me or anyone else

without the knowledge, but the best degree to focus in on is the degree to which we use our strengths.

In this report we will share with you what your core strengths are, what your ideal environment looks like, what really motivates you and

the leadership strengths you bring to a business.

After using these reports for more than 20 years, it has been my experience that the most successful individuals and teams are those that

lead with the strengths. This process is quite unique since it takes a look at who you really are, peeling back to the core of how you are

uniquely wired.

While you go through the report, be sure to make notes and go to our Facebook page and post your

questions www.facebook.com/StrengthLeader/

Now let's discover your strengths!

Talents, Strengths and Weaknesses

There is a difference between a talent and a strength. A talent is a naturally recurring pattern of behavior that can be easily applied. It

is in our zone of competence. When we spend time in our area of natural talent and develop that skill through varied experience it

becomes a strength.

A strength is the ability to consistently deliver an almost perfect performance in a specific activity. This means that we are no longer in

our zone of competence but in our zone of excellence.

For example, if someone has a natural talent in analyzing information. They create great analytical spreadsheets of information, then they

are in their zone of competence. When they take that talent and use it over and over again and have had varied experiences in that area,

they begin to see the analysis or pattern of information forming before they even open up a spreadsheet, they are in their strength zone of

excellence.

The key to fully developing your strength is to gather additional knowledge in that area and put yourself in the position to have varied

experience using that strength.

Growing up in this world we have had ample opportunity to learn about our weaknesses. In fact for many of us we have focused our efforts

solely on our weaknesses in an effort to be better. This strategy while very common, does not lead to high performance.

High performance individuals do the opposite.

Oh sure they recognize their weaknesses but they focus on taking their strengths, those 2 or 3 areas where they naturally excel and they

develop those strengths to their highest level. Then they lead with those strengths in their life's work.

One of my mentors, leadership expert John C. Maxwell is a good example of this in action. John began as a Pastor and naturally made

counseling part of his focus in the church. John was and is today a gifted speaker however as a counselor he felt the life slowly being

sucked out of him listening to people's problems, most of which sad to say had zero desire to take the action they needed to in order to fix

the problem, but rather just wanted someone to listen. John soon realized that his real strength was in identifying ways each of us can

elevate our ability to lead and speaking on that subject. John gave up his counseling hat and today he is exclusively in his strengths zone

having authored well over 70 books and flying around the world speaking in front of business audiences on how they can lead themselves

and others.

Tennis great Roger Federer said it best, I heard an interview with him after a tough match and the interviewer asked Federer if he works

on his weaknesses and he said the focused exclusively on his strengths. Federer went on to say that if he worked on his weaknesses he

would be a more well rounded player but he wouldn't be dangerous anymore, he wouldn't win championships.

In the coming pages think of your strengths as your secret weapon to higher levels of success because they are!

Report History and Graph Insight

Depending on your experience and age, when you hear the word “disc,” you may think of anything from a compact disc to a slipped disc.

This report is based on DISC which is the four quadrant behavioral model based on the work of William Moulton Marston, Ph.D. (1893 -

1947), which he developed to examine the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation. DISC looks at our

strengths, communication styles and behavioral preferences. This is not to label people or lump them into a category but rather to build a

bridge to understanding strengths, needs, motivations and ultimately improved performance.

Marston completed his doctoral studies at Harvard in the (then) newly developing field of psychology. In the early 1920s Marston first

studied the concepts of will and power and their effects on personality and human behavior. These findings contributed greatly to

subsequent work in the field of psychology.

Dr. Marston published Emotions of Normal People in 1928. In this book he presented his findings, though he had first written about DISC

four years earlier. Marston published a second book on DISC called Integrative Psychology in 1931, which came out of the work he was

trying to do to develop a way to measure mental energy.

Today we use DISC assessments to identify predictable patterns of behavior and specific personality wiring or styles. By learning how we

are wired, as well as our children, we can better understand how to communicate with them, motivate them, and interact more

successfully with the world around us.

Used successfully in business training for decades, this is especially important for us to discover our strengths so we can lead with them.

If you would like additional insight into DISC assessments this podcast will be helpful: www.strengthleader.com/overview-of-d-i-s-c-

assessments/

On the next page you will see a little more information on DISC, read through some of the general statements so you can have context as

you begin to look at your graphs.

Here is What To Look for In Your 3 Graphs:

Graph #1, the one all the way over on the left displays how others see you. It's the way you lead in the eyes of the outside world.

Graph #2 the one in the middle, indicates how you are naturally wired. This is what we were born with.

Graph #3 on the right represents how we see ourselves today. It is how we perceive ourselves to be.

Have a question? No problem, just post it on our Facebook page and we'll get right to it.

Do you know someone who is assertive, to the point,

and wants the bottom line?

Some people are forceful, direct, and strong-willed.

This is the D Style

Do you have any friends who are great communicators

and friendly to everyone they meet?

Some people are optimistic, friendly, and talkative.

This is the I Style

Do you have any family members who are good

listeners and great team players?

Some people are steady, patient, loyal, and practical.

This is the S Style

Have you ever worked with someone who enjoys

gathering facts and details and is thorough in all

activities?

Some people are precise, sensitive, and analytical.

This is the C Style

IntroductionYour report uses the DISC Personality System. The DISC Personality System is the universal language of behavior. Research has shown

that behavioral characteristics can be grouped together in four major groups. People with similar styles tend to exhibit specific behavioral

characteristics common to that style. All people share these four styles in varying degrees of intensity. The acronym DISC stands for the

four personality styles represented by the letters :

D = Dominant, Driver

I = Influencing, Inspiring

S = Steady, Stable

C = Correct, Compliant

Knowledge of the DISC System empowers you to understand yourself, family members, co-workers, and friends, in a profound way.

Understanding behavioral styles helps you become a better communicator, minimize or prevent conflicts, appreciate the differences in

others and positively influence those around you.

In the course of daily life, you can observe behavioral styles in action because you interact with each style, to varying degrees, everyday.

As you think about your family members, friends and co-workers, you will discover different personalities unfold before your eyes.

Because human personality is comprised of varying intensities of the four behavioral styles, the DISC graph helps make the personality

style more visual. The DISC graph plots the intensity of each of the four styles. All points above the midline are stronger intensities, while

points below the midline are lesser intensities of DISC characteristics. It is possible to look at a DISC graph and instantly know the

personality and behavioral characteristics of an individual.

Below are your three DISC graphs, and a brief explanation of the differencesbetween the graphs.

DISC graph 1 represents your "public self" (the mask)

This graph displays the “you” others see. It reflects how you perceive the demands of your environment, and your perception of

how you believe others expect you to behave.

DISC graph 2 represents your "private self" (the core)

This graph displays your instinctive response to pressure, and identifies how you are most likely to respond when stress or

tension are present. This would be your instinctive reaction.

DISC graph 3 represents your "perceived self" (the mirror)

This graph displays the manner in which you perceive your typical behavior. It could be referred to as your self perception.

Although at times you may be unaware of the behavior you use with other people, this graph shows your typical approach.

Descriptionunderstanding your style

Sample's style is identified by the keyword "Concluder".

Sample, as a Concluder style, tends to be a strong individualist. Sample is forward-looking,

progressive and competitive. They can also be direct and even forceful at times. Concluders are

curious and have a wide range of interests. They are logical, incisive and critical in their problem

solving. Many times a Concluder will come up with the imaginative and unusual. Sample has good

leadership abilities. A Concluder may appear to be cold or blunt because their task-orientation

tends to overtake their people-orientation. Concluders have high standards and can appear to be

critical when these standards are not met. Concluders may also place high standards on

surrounding people and expect perfection from them as well. Sample seeks authority and

challenging assignments.

Concluders can have a very strong impact on people and can motivate others to achieve goals.

Because of these characteristics, they need to be sensitive to the people around them. Their

high-risk, adventurous spirit moves them through life at a fast pace while making things happen

in the lives of the people. Others may see concluders as opinionated and they will challenge

others' opinions.

Concluders tend to be short tempered, especially when they feel someone is taking advantage of

them. They thrive on activity and a consistently forward moving environment. Patience does not

come easily. A Concluder may put themselves in the position of being affected by other peoples’

actions because they want to be involved in everything going on around them. Concluders may

want to take charge of problems that are out of their area of responsibility and may be irritated

when others do not share their sense of urgency. Sample is constantly thinking about what to

move on to next that is new and exciting.

Often perceived as a very strong-willed individual, Sample is one who others may tend to view as

overly direct, perhaps even demanding. This individual goes by the rule that "whatever works" to

obtain goals is ok. When challenged, Sample tends to become extremely competitive and

unrelenting in their quest for the win.

Sample is an optimistic individual. They are the type of person who loves exploring new places or

things and a wide variety of experiences. A natural charisma is displayed that draws and charms

others. Sample is a very encouraging person; others find them inspirational and lively.

Appreciating change and challenges, Sample tends to become bored with routines; often

searching for new acquaintances or a change in lifestyle. This person may have a hard time

conforming to "the norm" because they simply prefer to do things in their own way. Although

viewed as an individualist, Sample truly has the overall good of the group at heart.

Not afraid to take a bold approach, Sample is willing to challenge the status quo. Original and

creative, this individual acts with confidence when implementing new solutions. Sample will tend

to use a balance of intuition and facts when making decisions. Once they have made a decision,

they will not be afraid to act upon it.

Workplaceyour professional style

The high “D” personality style in the workplace is determined, competitive, straightforward, task-oriented and goal-oriented. In many

companies, high-D styles are placed in or are drawn to leadership roles. If they are not in a leadership role, they often become the de-

facto authority figure, if allowed to be, by others.

One of the hallmarks of the high D style is that they are willing to accept risks, challenges and change. Since the world of business feeds

on high stakes and rapid change, they become well-positioned to lead the cause into the unknown and accept the risk of failure or

unbridled success. High D styles possess a fearlessness that is often admired by other styles in business. Where other styles hesitate or

fluctuate upon decisions, the high D will make critical decisions without having all the information which can be either very good or very

bad for the company. Because a D desires to challenge the status quo, they often find innovative approaches to give their company a

leading edge in the fast-paced business world.

In business, D styles may appear as if they have special abilities. They have a special ability to see with “tunnel vision” focusing solely

upon the goal until it is achieved. “Big Picture” thinking is another ability that helps them view the entire picture that is made up of

smaller pieces. Since Ds are more visionary than detail oriented, they often rely on other co-workers to manage the pieces making up

the big picture.

As managers, Ds are very goal-oriented and focused upon task completion. They may evaluate their organization according to their

ability or willingness to complete the tasks important to the high D manager. Using a straightforward communication style, high D

managers will lay down the rules and are not afraid to enforce their rules. They possess enough objectivity to impose employee

compliance measures or downsize where appropriate to help the bottom line.

As team members, Ds who are naturally self-reliant, may take on a more independent role in a team project or they may serve as a team

leader. A D style may help the team stay focused and on-task as well as provide innovative ideas, delegate tasks, and make critical

decisions.

Of all DISC personality styles, D styles represent only about 6% of the workforce, yet their influence is often heavy in the business

environment. High Ds that are not tempered by other ISC personality dimensions can become autocratic, controlling or argumentative. A

high D may have a “my way or the highway” mentality that is very black or white; or a mindset that must win at any cost. Indeed, high

Ds like to be in control and can become intense when challenged, but they run the risk of becoming too autocratic or so focused upon

tasks or goals that they forget about relationships.

Determined Workplace Style Characteristics:

1. Straightforward and direct communication style

2. Commanding and authoritative

3. Determined in conflict

4. Can become aggressive or appear antagonistic under stress

5. Can become impatient

6. Their bark can be worse than their bite

7. Can appear emotionally unattached or objective

8. Wants bottom-communication and answers

9. Can appear grumpy, curt, or abrupt if preoccupied with other demands

10. Can see the big picture, but wants others to handle the details

11. Can solve problems during stressful times

12. Can provide solid, strong, reliable leadership roles

Workplacetips for your professional style

Tips for High D Personality Styles in the Workplace

Tips for self-growth and to enhance communication in the workplace:

High D WorkplaceCharacteristics

Tips for self growth and to help you be better understood by co-workers ofdifferent styles

Ds tend to say“Don’t ask why, justdo it”.

Most other styles (especially C and S styles) really want to know why. Offer rational, logical explanations

to team members, co-workers or associates.

Ds tend to see onlyin black and whiteand are quick tojudge or decidewithout all thefacts.

Black and white is best used in law enforcement or the military, but often there are gray situations

which need to be investigated or more facts collected before deciding.

Ds are unconcernedwith details.

D’s often know the “what” but not the “how”. They rely on others to figure out, design, plan, carry out or test

the “how”. Make sure you surround yourself with responsible “how” people. Remember, teams of

complimentary and interdependent styles are most effective. Don’t sacrifice quality for speed

or quantity. Don’t try to do everything yourself, know your strengths and your limits.

Ds have high egos.

In business hierarchies, egos often get in the way. High Ds generally have big egos. Don’t allow your ego

or “sense of self” to be wrapped up solely in “what you do for a living” or the business world.

Augment your working life with other passionate and challenging activities (like sports, travel or hobbies) with

which you can exercise your ego.

Ds are competitive.

You need to compete to be in business today, but don’t let your competitiveness consume you

and don’t become a sore loser. Step back, use your objectivity to determine if anyone (employees, team

members, customers, public, or your family) suffers as a result of your competitiveness. What is the cost of

your competitiveness? What do you have to give up to win?

D’s are risk takers.

Be careful that the risks you take are not at the expense of others. Try for consensus and ask for

feedback or opinions on decisions you make, to gain perspectives. Remember, you may not have all

necessary facts. Think of the risk itself and the consequences, also consider the human factor and the effect

a decision has on others.

Ds often overstepauthority.

D’s like to be in charge, to make the rules and to advance in business. When D’s are in subordinate roles, it is

often difficult for them to submit to authority, especially when the D thinks he/she has a better way. In most

cases, overstepping authority will get you fired; make sure you discuss your ideas with your

superiors before you act. Save bold moves for when you are the boss.

Ds dislike routineand get bored withroutines.

Since D’s like constant change and new challenges, a steady daily routine can be a source of stress. Ask

your company for change and challenge, but if you are unable to change your routine, make

sure you have varied activities and challenges (physical and mental) outside of your workplace.

Also, consider viewing your routine as a task or a goal. D’s are very task- and goal-oriented, so

viewing your daily routine in this manner can help motivate you.

Ds like to be activeand energetic.

D’s have a tendency to attempt too much at once since they like to complete tasks, compete, and find new

challenges. They end up leading fairly active lifestyles. Be careful! Don’t spread yourself too thin. It’s

difficult to be all things to all people or all tasks. Make priorities and concentrate on the areas

you value most. Don’t sacrifice your relationships for your goals, challenges or lifestyle.

Ds can becomeaggressive,challenging orargumentative.

Be aware of the tendency toward anger and aggressiveness. Take 10 minutes to think before

you act. D’s are most at risk of becoming aggressive when 1) Other strong personalities challenge them. 2)

Any style tries to take advantage or “trick” them. 3) When they feel they have lost control. 4) When they are

competing. 5) When their ego is harmed.

Ds like to be incontrol.

Be careful! Don’t become a “control freak” or a “micro manager”. Give other workers a chance at

autonomy allowing others to become responsible. Try to delegate tasks as often as possible to other

dependable and trustworthy people.

Ds can appearangry, grumpy oremotionally

Be aware that it is sometimes not what you’ve said, but how you’ve said it. Pay attention to your voice

tone and body language. Other styles often interpret tones personally. Other styles are more

sensitive to subtle tones and body language than the D style. “I” styles may feel rejected and C and

© 2015, PeopleKeys, Inc.® Page 10 / 33

emotionallyunattached.

S styles may feel criticized by a curt tone or strong body language.

Ds are fast pacedand enjoy changesand challenges.

You have high standards for yourself, but don’t hold your co-workers to your own standards.

Just remember, other styles may seem to move slower, be more passive, or be more afraid of change. Give

your co-workers extra time and more patience and understanding.

Let's Talk Leadership Strengths

Leadership isn’t a title or a position, it’s not a big fancy office or a fast car.

Leadership is, at it’s core, the ability to Influence people and outcomes.

Mother Teresa had the ability to influence and she did it without a fancy title, fast car or a corner office on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The same is true for you and me. Each day we are faced with opportunities to influence outcomes and when we do, we are a leader.

On the next page you’ll see our PowerDISC, your strengths in leadership, meaning what strengths do you have in your arsenal to influence

outcomes.

Remember we are NOT meant to be great at everything. Focus your attention on those items that are at or above the midline to see

what’s in your strengths arsenal.

One more thing, be sure to read the descriptions on the left side of the page, these are highly customized for you based on your responses

when you took the assessment and will provide you with the deeper description for you personally.

Have a question? Just post it on our Facebook page so we can connect with you to help you to fully leverage and lead with your strengths

PowerDISC™your strengths in leadership

INFLUENCING - Extreme Focus

You prefer to be in control and in the limelight at all times. You tend to get involved, make a

decision, delegate, and then find the next major challenge in life. You would be more effective

occasionally stepping back and evaluating the situation instead of always operating under the

"Ready, Fire, Aim!" approach. Don't be afraid to relax, you deserve it!

DIRECTING - Well Developed

You were probably just selected to oversee yet another project, especially one that has a tight

deadline. Your team values your work ethic. You may appear a bit distant at times, but your

attention to detail and your inner drive causes others to respect you and to see the great value you

add to the team. Learn to take time to get to know other team members; time invested in

relationships is not time wasted.

PROCESSING - Limited Use

You let someone else come up with the process, but will gladly critique it and make necessary

changes. You prefer new challenges and adventures to routine tasks.

DETAILING - Fair

You tend to follow through on specific details that have been relayed to you as important. In new

areas you may not see the importance of certain portions of the work that require more precision

and review. Try using new strategies such as note taking, repetition of the goal, and asking for

clarity.

CREATING - Above Average

You like to use your creativity to perfect basic concepts that other team members develop. You can

oversee and help keep accountability in areas that others may compromise.

PERSISTING - Above Average

Others like working together with you because you typically do more than your share of whatever is

required and this makes the entire team look good. You will maintain a hands-on approach and let

others visibly see that you are a team player.

RELATING - Good

You tend to be task oriented, but know that people and relationships cannot be ignored. You may

get caught up in getting things done, but you make up for that by taking time to nurture close

relationships.

Developing excellentcommunication skillsis absolutely essentialto effective leadership.

The leader must beable to share

knowledge and ideasto transmit a sense of

urgency andenthusiasm to others.If a leader can’t get amessage across clearlyand motivate others toact on it, then havinga message doesn’t

even matter.

Who We Are and the Value of Our

Strengths

The next 2 pages provide you with a great summary of who we are and the strength characteristics we bring. Here is how you can really

maximize the value of this insight.

The first 2 sections what people with your style may want and your greatest fear is a great indicator of the essential component of what

makes you tick in relation to your work.

The communicating do’s and do not’s are the key that others need to unlock the door with us. In many organizations we work with we add

this information right into the company’s telephone directory! There is a strategic advantage to looking up a colleague’s phone number and

making one more click to first gain insight into how to communicate with them to collaborate at a high level. Even in my family life this has

been important. By providing this information to my husband he knows how to communicate with me in a way that brings out my best and I

know his. So think of how you can use this information to enrich your life and business relationships.

In the second page of this section pay careful attention to both the value and positive characteristics you bring to a group. These

characteristics are your strengths in action and when applied in any business situation will place you in a position to operate in your zone of

excellence. This is where you naturally perform at a high level. There is a balance of course to how we use these strengths. I have the

strength of being decisive but that doesn't mean that when my husband and I are out to dinner with friends that I should decide what

everyone at the table should have for dinner. Using good judgment is required in how we apply our strengths.

The last section called Personal Growth areas for your style provides a roadmap for the personal work to do in order to maximize your

best. Now perhaps you have completed some of this work before and if that is the case, congratulations you are far ahead of most of us.

This personal work is where growth occurs. When we do the work, we move into a higher level of performance and realize the fullness of

our own potential.

communicate best with others. Since communication is the key to effective collaboration, to fully maximize our strengths we each need to

be able to connect effectively with others.

Of course there are some people who might do a lot of talking but they are not necessarily connecting. In his book, Everyone

Communicates Few Connect John Maxwell says thee are five practices for us to follow to connect effectively with others.

Connect on common ground. – Meaning don’t get hung up on what’s different but focus 100% of your attention the common ground

between you and the person you are trying to connect with.

Keep it simple – To communicate and connect in the most effective way the communication should be simple. Ten Dollar words, long

drawn out explanations will not save a bad communication. Keep it simple and focus it in a way that adds value to the person and the

situation.

An enjoyable experience for all – Talk in terms that they know. I read a story about a woman who was trying to get her husband to

change their baby’s diaper. When the husband said he didn’t know how, she gave him instructions in a language he would understand. “You

lay the diaper out like a diamond. You put second base to home plate. Put the baby’s bottom on the pitcher’s mound, hook up first and third,

and slide home underneath. And if it starts to rain, the game ain’t called – you start all over again.”

Connectors inspire people – When we communicate well, people come away from the experience inspired. They see evidence of your

character and commitment and they feel your passion for both what you are trying to accomplish and for them.

Living what we communicate – Credibility with those we communicate with is important. In fact without walking our talk people will

begin to dismiss our communications. So build trust by communicating and living honestly, transparently and in a way that aligns with a

person who is looking to add value to projects and people.

How You Communicate with Others

Please return to the “Communicating” section of this report and review the communicating “DO”

and “DO NOT” sections for your specific style. Reviewing your own communication preferences

can be an eye-opening experience or simply confirmation for what you already know to be true.

Either way, you have your communication characteristics in writing. This information is powerful

when shared between colleagues, friends, and family. Others may now realize that some

approaches do not work for your style, while other ones are received well by you. Equally

important is that you now see that THE WAY YOU SAY SOMETHING can be as important as WHAT

IS SAID. Unfortunately, we all have a tendency to communicate in the manner that we like to hear

something, instead of the method another person prefers.

Your style is predominately a “D” style , which means that you prefer receiving information

telling you RESULTS. But, when transferring that same information to a client or co-worker, you

may need to translate that into giving them precise facts, or just the end result, or how they are a

part of the solution and we need to work as a team.

This next section of the report deals with how your style communicates with the other three

dominant styles. Certain styles have a natural tendency to communicate well, while certain other

styles seem to be speaking different languages all together. Since you are already adept at

speaking your “native” language, we will examine how to best communicate and relate to the

other three dominant languages people will be using.

This next section is particularly useful for a dominant “D” style as you may have the tendency to

be more aggressive in your communication than what others would like.

The Compatibility of Your Behavioral Style

Two “D” styles will get along well only if they respect each other and desire to work as a team to

accomplish a set goal. Care must be taken not to become overly competitive or overly

domineering with each other.

A “D” likes the “I” style, because an “I” is a natural encourager to the “D”. Sometimes an “I” will

not be task oriented enough for the “D” in a work situation, unless the “D” sees the value of how

the “I” can be influential to achieve ultimate results.

A “D” and an “S” normally work well together because the “S” does not threaten the “D”, and will

normally work hard to achieve the desired goal. Sometimes personal relations can be strained

because the “D” sometimes comes across as too task oriented and driven.

A “D” and a “C” must be careful not to become too pushy and too detail oriented, respectively.

However, a “D” needs the detail attention of the “C” style, but sometimes has a hard time of

effectively communicating this need.

Speech is the mirrorof the soul; as a man

speaks, so is he.

How the “D” Can Enhance Interaction with Each Style

D with D

If there is mutual respect, you will tend to see each other as driving, visionary, aggressive,

competitive and optimistic. So long as they agree on the goal to be accomplished, they can focus

on the task at hand and be extremely efficient. If mutual respect does not exist, you will tend to

see the other D as argumentative, dictatorial, arrogant, domineering, nervous and hasty.

Relationship Tip: Each of you must strive to achieve mutual respect, and communication, setting

this as a goal to be accomplished will help immensely. You must also work to understand the

realms and boundaries of each other's authority, and to respect those boundaries.

D with I

You will tend to view I's as egocentric, superficial, overly optimistic, showing little thought, too

self-assured and inattentive. You'll dislike being “sold” by the I. Your task orientation will tend to

lead you to become upset by the high I's noncommittal generalizations.

Relationship Tip: You should try to be friendly, since the I appreciates personal relationships. Be

complimentary, when possible. Listen to their ideas and recognize their accomplishments.

D with S

You will tend to view the S as passive, nonchalant, apathetic, possessive, complacent and non-

demonstrative. D's tend to perceive S's as slow moving. They will tend to see your approach as

confrontational, and it may tend to be overwhelming to the high S. Your quick pace of action and

thinking may cause a passive-aggressive response.

Relationship Tip: Avoid pushing; recognize the sincerity of the high S's good work. Be friendly to

them, they appreciate relationships. Make every effort to be more easy going when possible,

adapting a steady pace will reduce unnecessary friction in the relationship.

D with C

Your tendency will be to view the C as overly dependent, evasive, defensive, too focused on

details and too cautious and worrisome. D's often feel that high C's over analyze and get bogged

down in details.

Relationship Tip: Slow down the pace; give them information in a clear and detailed form,

providing as many facts as you can. In discussions, expect the C to voice doubts, concerns and

questions about the details. Remove potential threats. Whenever possible, allow time for the C to

consider issues and details before asking them to make any decisions.

Communication Tips Worksheet

Changes in your graphs indicate your coping methods. The human personality is profoundly influenced by changes in our environment.

Typically, people change significantly from graph one to graph two as a result of stressors or environmental changes. Recognizing the

differences or changes between these two graphs helps us understand our instinctive coping mechanism, and indicates how to better

adapt in the future.

Instructions: Each of your graphs illuminates different aspects of your personality. A closer look at those changes reveals valuable

insights. Please refer to both graphs (if necessary, reference data throughout your profile). Compare the D, I, S, and C points on graphs

one and two. Finally, read the analysis of your answers, and consider how your environment affects your decisions, motivations, actions

and verbal messages.

D Changes:

Compare graphs 1 and 2. When you look at graph 2, is your “D” higher or lower than the “D” in graph 1? Consider how high or low the

letter moves. A higher value indicates someone who desires more control in stressful situations. If the D goes up considerably, you can

become very controlling when you become stressed. A lower value indicates someone who desires less control in stressful situations. If

the D goes down considerably, you may want someone else to lead you and you will follow.

I Changes:

Compare graphs 1 and 2. When you look at graph 2, is your “I” higher or lower than the “I” in graph 1? Consider how high or low the

letter moves. A higher value indicates someone who desires more social influence in stressful situations. If the I goes up considerably,

you may try to use your communication skills to smooth things out. A lower value indicates someone who desires less social influence in

stressful situations. If the I goes down considerably, you rely less on verbal means to come to a resolution.

S Changes:

Compare graphs 1 and 2. When you look at graph 2, is your “S” higher or lower than the “S” in graph 1? Consider how high or low the

letter moves. A higher value indicates someone who desires a more secure environment in stressful situations. If the S goes up

considerably, you may tend to avoid any conflict and wait until a more favorable environment is available before making any changes. A

lower value indicates someone who desires a less secure environment in stressful situations. If the S goes down considerably, you

become more impulsive in your decision-making.

C Changes:

Compare graphs 1 and 2. When you look at graph 2, is your “C” higher or lower than the “C” in graph 1? Consider how high or low the

letter moves. A higher value indicates someone who desires more information before making a decision in stressful situations. If the C

goes up considerably, you will probably not want to make a decision until you have significantly more information. A lower value indicates

someone who desires less information before making decisions in stressful situations. If the C goes down considerably, you may make

decisions based more on gut feelings.

Which one of your points makes the most dramatic move up or down? What does that tell you about how youreact to pressure?

How could your coping method help or hinder you in making decisions? How can you use this information to helpyou see possible blind spots in your reaction to pressure?

Sample's Action Plan

This worksheet is a tool to enable effective communication between you and others with whom

you interact on a regular basis. The goal is to help you maximize your strengths and minimize the

effects of potential limitations. It addresses work-related and general characteristics that are

common to your style as a whole, and is not derived directly from your graphs.

This section gives you an opportunity to sit down with a co-worker, employer, friend, spouse, etc.,

and assess your personality style, getting feedback from someone who knows you well. Although

doing so is beneficial, it is not required to have anyone else present while completing this section.

If you choose to get feedback from another, you may print the report and do so that way.

Instructions:

Step 1: The items listed below are areas to reflect upon between you and your closest contacts.

After printing out this report, give this page to another person who knows you well (associate,

team member, teacher, family member, friend) and ask them to read each item. They should

consider whether or not they perceive the item to describe your traits. Then, check either Yes or

No beside each item. Open dialogue is encouraged and any blind spots (areas of your personality

that you are blind to) should be discussed. Since communication is a two way street, it is

recommended that two people complete one another's worksheets.

Personality Style Graphs

Sample Report

© 2015, PeopleKeys, Inc.® Page 24 / 33

Graphs Explanation Page

Each of the three graphs reveals a different snapshot of behavior, depending on the conditions of

the environment. Within a given environment, Graph 1 reveals the "Public Self;" Graph 2 displays

the "Private Self;" and Graph 3 portrays the "Perceived Self."

These three graphs or snapshots are defined in detail below.

Graph 1 -Mask, Public Self

Behavior Expected By Others

Everyone acts according to how they think other people expect them to act. This behavior is

the public self, the person projected to others. Sometimes, there is no difference between the

true person and their public self. However, the public self can be very different from the "real"

person; it is a mask. Graph 1 is generated by the "Most" choices on The Personality System,

and has the greatest potential for change.

Graph 2 -Core, Private Self

Instinctive Response To Pressure

Everyone has learned responses from the past: consequently, these are behaviors which the

person accepts about him/herself. Under pressure or tension, these learned behaviors

become prominent. This is the graph which is the least likely to change because these are

natural and ingrained responses. A person's behavior under pressure may be drastically

different than his/her behavior in Graphs 1 and 3. Graph 2 is generated by the "Least" choices

on The Personality System, and has the lowest potential for change.

Graph 3 -Mirror, Perceived Self

Self Image, Self Identity

Everyone envisions him/her self in a particular way. Graph 3 displays the mental picture that

one has of him/her self, the self image or self identity. Graph 3 combines the learned

responses from one's past with the current expected behavior from the environment. Change

in one's perception can occur, but it is usually gradual and based on the changing demands of

one's environment. Graph 3 is generated by the difference between Graph 1 and Graph 2.

Sample Report

© 2015, PeopleKeys, Inc.® Page 25 / 33

Graphs Explanation PageContinued

Different Graphs Indicate Change or Transition

If Graph 1 is different than Graph 2, the demands of the environment are forcing behavior

that is not congruent with the core, or instinctive behavior. In such a situation, a person

trying to modify his/her behavior to meet the demands of the environment will most likely

experience stress.

If Graph 1 is different than Graph 2, but similar to Graph 3, the individual has been able to

successfully alter his/her behavior to meet the demands of the environment without

altering his/her core. This individual is probably fairly comfortable with the behavior shown

in Graph 3 (Perceived Self), and is probably not experiencing stress.

If Graph 1 is different than Graph 3, an individual may be in a period of growth (and some

discomfort) while he/she attempts to alter behavior to meet the demands of a new

environment. A person's behavior may fluctuate during this period of adjustment.

Similar Graphs Indicate Few Demands For Change

An individual who perceives the current demands of the environment (Graph 1) tobe similar to his/her past (Graph 2) will have little need to change his/her self-perception (Graph 3). This may be due to any of the following factors:

The behavior demanded by the present environment is similar to demands in the past.

This individual controls what others demand of him/her.

The behavior demanded by the present environment is different than demands in the past.

However, instead of altering behavior, this person has chosen to augment style. To

accomplish augmentation, this individual has surrounded him/herself with people of

complimentary styles, thus creating a team with combined strengths.

Your keyword style of Concluder(DI) and the contents of this

report are derived from Graph 3.

Detailed Keyword Analysis: Your

Personal ImageWhen completing your profile, you answered the questions according to a particular setting, for example 'Home' or 'Work'. This is because people tend to displaydifferent aspects of their personality in different settings. You are typically not the same at work as you are at home or in a social setting. A significantbenefit of this report is its ability to measure how others will tend to perceive you and your behavior in various settings.

In the setting for which you answered the questions, others will tend to perceive you as having certain characteristics. Their perception of these characteristicswill change depending on the amount of pressure you experience in any given situation. This is an area where each individual tends to have significant “blindspots”. We often don't realize how we're perceived by others when we are under pressure.

The following keywords describe specific values of your DISC scores for two of the three graphs. An analysis has been generated for Graph 2 (personalityunder stress) and graph 3 (personality in general). The following keywords represent characteristics typically displayed by similar graphs.

The DISC descriptive keywords generated from an analysis of each graph have been divided into two lists. The first list, generated from Graph 2, is under theheading “How Others Tend to See Me”. It shows your typical response to pressure. The second list, generated from Graph 3, is under the heading “How I SeeMyself”. Unless your two graphs are completely different, you should expect to see some repetition of items in each list. However, you should be aware that thedominant traits are listed first; therefore the placement of each keyword demonstrates its significance. You should particularly note keywords that are repeatedin both lists. Notice whether repeated keywords moved higher or lower from list to list.

Historical CharactersFamous people who share your personality

Benjamin Franklin

1706-1790

U.S. Statesman, Publisher and Inventor

Born the fifteenth child in his family, he went to work at age ten. The drive and determination of

the Concluder are seen in his early success in business. At age seventeen Franklin left his Boston

home for Philadelphia. Within 10 years he had a successful printing and publishing business and

was the sole owner of the Pennsylvania Gazette. The wide range of interests of the Concluder

are easily observed in any of his biographies. During his lifetime Franklin compiled almanacs,

formed philosophical discussion groups, established the nations first lending library, established a

university, served in the Pennsylvania Assembly, was a postmaster, conducted scientific

experiments, developed a fuel-efficient stove and served as a diplomat.

"Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor. If passion drives you, let

reason hold the reins."

Napoleon Bonaparte

1769-1821

French Emperor (1799-1815)

Called a titanic figure in European history, Napoleon personified the visionary nature and forceful

drive of the Concluder. He became a successful army officer as a young man, and lost only one

battle during ten years of war as he led the French revolutionaries against the Austrians and the

British in the 1790s. Concluders like to lead, and they can have a strong impact on others.

Napoleons goal was to make France the center of a huge European empire modeled after ancient

Rome and to see himself lead it as emperor. As an army commander, Napoleons genius was

incredible. He conquered the Austrian empire, and ruled Italy, Germany and Switzerland.

However, he was unable to hold on to his command. He finished his last days in exile.

"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."
