DISC Personality Test

A. The Results: After taking the DISC Personality test, my results stated that I was S (Steady).

B. Was this a revelation/ new knowledge about yourself? Yes and no. I felt I have always been a "steady" individual and I felt that things included in the description were actually very accurate. I definitely like to do the work behind the scenes sometimes and can be very supportive to a more dominant person. I feel that I have always been a good organizer and can be a very essential team player. While I do like to work in support roles and feel that I work well, as a nurse I want to move into managerial roles eventually as I become more comfortable in the hospital setting and with my knowledge and capabilities as a nurse.

  C. How will this effect your leadership style? I realize that I work well as a supportive role but like I previously stated, I know I am capable of becoming and and being a leader. I feel that I may tend to be the more democratic leader right now but this helped me to realize that I need to work on having those autocratic capabilities as well, especially as I move into a charge RN role and have to be in situations such as running a code that really does require autocratic leadership not a supporting role or democratic leadership.

     d. What will you do with the knowledge this test gives you? I think this is a very positive test and I have gained more understanding and realized things about myself. I will apply this to my everyday nursing practice and realize what strengths I do have and always strive to improve those. I am a very level headed person, calm, and provide support to others on my team. This test says it the best. I'm steady.

S (Steady)
Most Singaporeans, or Asians fall into this category of personalities. Steady individuals generally thrive supporting a D(dominant) leader and doing the work behind the scenes.

These people are loyal, have good self-control, often good listeners and tend to want to avoid disagreements and conflicts.

They are good in an organization because you need people who can be supportive and loyal in your organization. Not everyone can be the one to receive the honour, not everyone can be the head of a team or an organization, but the S(steady) individuals are usually happy where they are. That’s why S(steady) people are absolutely essential for any team to work.

S(steady) personalities generally work well in support roles like managerial roles or as assistants to heads of departments.
