The DISC Behavioral model describes four basic patterns, none of which is better or worse than any of the others.
Very few people are purely one type. (Most of us are a combination of types.) This description is of someone who is almost completely a D. See if it describes you or someone you know. (Again, remember it describes an extreme form of a behavior that is often much more nuanced.)
You can be a pioneer, a crusader, a leader.
At your worst, you can be a bully, a loud mouth, a tyrant.
Cultivate patience. See the value of cooperation.
Witt Communications offers workshops and coaching to help professionals and organizations use the DISC Behavioral Analysis to improve leadership development, teamwork, or interpersonal effectiveness.
I’ve returned to my club training ever since the exam ended. Training is always fun with familiar faces around. This time, I have chosen to play for the second team instead for the first team. Although the teams are not going to be as strong as those I have met previously, I will still play my very best when I’m on court. I’m not going to let any form of complacency set in. Being apart from the usual teammates makes me feel a little weird at times. Usually when I’m in some kind of “trouble” on court or when things don’t work out as well, that is always Jin quan who I can depend on. But this time, all I have is myself. Perhaps my trust to this team is not there yet. The feeling that “I’m the more senior player” feeling is always there and I just feel that the rest are dependent on me this time. Yucks.. I hate that feeling. Just a couple more weeks before the league starts, so I just hope that everyone can be there for training. By then, everyone should be well prepared for the competition, be it fitness, individual skill, teamwork and mindset.
I’ve met up with the uni pals twice during this holiday as well. First is the mahjong session at Shawn place then is the dinner cum night activity. The dinner was great at Shokudo @ Raffles City Shopping Centre. The whole environment was quite good but I think they should have a better choice in terms of the music played for it doesn’t really fit in. Overall the food was okie, but I supposed it’s usually the company that is the most important. My poor boy hasn’t gotten the chance to visit the place and while we were enjoying ourselves that night, he was there in Ubin, suffering. Here are some of the photos we took that night.
After dinner, we went to the MindCafe @ Boat Quay. It was my first visit there and I was quite surprised by the store of board games they had. Frankly speaking, I wasn’t the kind of people who enjoy board games but I had real fun that night. There were many games that I haven played or rather seen before. Some of the games we played include Ugly Dolls, BONES!!, the concentration game( this has nth to do with any of the board games there), the reflex and the animal sounding games ( both I named it myself cos I have forgotten their actually names). Here are some of the photos we took that night.
Enough of the fun, then it is the job hunting again. Recuitexpress is always the agency that we go to although seriously I don’t think the pay is good. Oh well, at least there is some effort made by me to go around and look for a job. After all the troubles about the waste company issue and offending one of the recruitment consultants, I have landed in a job as a recruitment consultant in Recruitexpress in the Healthcare divison. Hah.. So that made me a colleague with ehem. The interview as a consultant was rather weird as I recount. The first question has already left me dumb-founded. “What are the objectives of finding a job right now for you??” I wasn’t expecting this kind of question so I told her plainly that I haven really thought of that. Then she started telling me her objectives when she was my age then. This provided me with a little clue as in what I have to say. Then I told her it wasn’t really for the money since I do have tuition assignment on hand so it was more of like to keep me occupied. I supposed this answer resulted in my “rather pathetic” pay. “What are the 3 words that your friends often described you?” So I thought to myself, my friends always say that I’m talkative, I’m loud, I don’t have a image for I’m always wearing what I call the relax attire to school. There is no way I’m going to tell that consultant this. But for the 3 words that I said, heex.. confidential. “What are the 3 words you used to describe yourself” sorry, confidential again. Then I was being told to do a personality test (D.I.S.C) and they will base on that to determine if I’m suitable for the job. So it turned out that I have the D character in me. More about the personality test in the next blog entry. Right now, all I hope is that this job will turn out to be fine. Challenging and competitive it may be, just wish that I'm up to this challenge.
There are 10 letters in your name.
Those 10 letters total to 49
There are 3 vowels and 7 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 4
The characteristics of #4 are: A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.
The expression or destiny for #4:
Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.
If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions. You may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided. Finally, like nearly all with 4 Expression, you must keep your eye on the big picture and not get overly wrapped up in detail and routine.

And you are generous in giving of your knowledge and experience. You have very sharing urges, and you are likely to have a great deal to share. Your concern for others makes you a very sympathetic and generous person with a sensitive and compassionate nature.
You are able to view life in very broad and intuitive terms. You often express high ideals and an inspirational approach to life. If you are able to fully realize the potential of your motivation, you will be a very self-sacrificing person who is able to give freely without being concerned about any return or reward.
As with all human beings, you are prone to sometimes express the negative attitudes inherent to your Soul Urges. You may become too sensitive and tend to express emotions strongly at times. There can be significant conflict between higher aims and personal ambitions.

You may often be disappointed in the lack of perfection in yourself and others.
