My Score


Link: http://adf.ly/1azbLJ

You act in an assertive, diplomatic way and strive for a stable, ordered life.
You are goal orientated but tend to avoid risk taking.
You handle pressure well - you push yourself and expect others to do the same.
Apparently, the website doesn't tell you whether your score is considered "comparatively high" or "comparatively low" so I just guessed the results... lol. Though, in comparison to the other percentages, my Influence score is considered as quite low? :P

Dominance - Comparatively High 

Traits:
  • enjoy competition and challenge.
  • are goal orientated and want to be recognised for their efforts.
  • aim high, want authority and are generally resourceful and adaptable.
  • are usually self-sufficient and individualistic.
  • may lose interest in projects once the challenge has gone and they tend to be impatient and dissatisfied with minor detail.
They are usually direct and positive with people, enjoying being the centre of attraction and may take it for granted that people will think highly of them. 

They may have a tendency to be rather critical of others. Consequently, other people may tend to see them as being rather domineering and overpowering.



Influence - Comparatively Low
Traits:
  • are usually socially passive.
  • quite frequently have an affinity for things, machinery and equipment.
  • are generally comfortable working alone.
  • frequently have a tendency to be analytical and once they have sorted the facts out they communicate them in a straightforward direct way.
  • tend to take little at face value.
They may well have learned and developed good social skills but they only bring these into play when logic dictates such tactics.


Steadiness - Comparatively Low
Traits:
  • tend to enjoy change and variety in their work and non-work life.
  • are expansive by nature and tend not to like routine and repetitive work/activities.
They enjoy stretching themselves intellectually and physically.


Compliance - Comparatively High

Traits:
  • are usually peaceful and adaptable.
  • tend not to be aggressive.
  • tend to be cautious rather than impulsive.
  • avoid risk-taking.
  • act in a tactful, diplomatic way and strive for a stable, ordered life.
  • are comfortable following procedures in both their personal and business life.
They prefer sticking to methods that have proved successful in the past. They have a high acceptance of rules and regulations.


A General DISC Guideline for Content Writers - Since I'm one :)

Content Writer: Content writers require more of a balanced DISC score than do webmasters or programmers. Content writers will be working very closely with you and interpreting your ideas into creative writing. A high "I " score accounts for creativity and a moderate "S" score should satisfy communication requirements. In order for your business to be viewed as credible, your content should be free of spelling and grammatical errors, making "C" an important score as well. It is important for a content writer to conform to your needs, as a result, the strong-willed "D" score may not be as requisite.

Suggested Scoring for Content Writers:
Highest Score: "I" - creative, emotional (ability to think like consumer).
Second Highest Score: "C" - professional and clean in writing (free of basic spelling and grammatical errors) and be analytical in their ideas.
Third Highest Score: "S" - open to communicating and willing to adjust to your needs and the needs of the consumers.
Lowest Score: "D"- Some self-starting tendencies and confidence are necessary.
