DISC assessment test and correlations with Socionics

[Ezra]

I like this test model. Someone posted it at MBTI Central.

[machintruc]

I hate DiSC. It's like some discriminatory tool or something, to determine if you're able to lead or not.

[implied]

mine said, "you suck at leading!"

dom - 16
infl - 28
stead - 28
compl - 28

[Cuddly McFluffles]

*laughs* I've taken a different one (and this one). I started S/I, but after re-taking the test in the following months, I'm now high I. This test... I think it had me S when I took it.

I won't take it now because I know far too much about the types to take it objectively.

[Socionics Is A Cult]

Oh dear...

Dominance 24
Influence 4
Steadiness 28
Compliance 44

[BLauritson]

DOMINANCE = 16
INFLUENCE = 12
STEADINESS = 40
COMPLIANCE = 32

meh, didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. Heh, the dominance descriptions sounds like a contrast of stereotypical Ni-leading (low dominance) and stereotypical Se-leading (high dominance).

[machintruc]

Ezra likes it because he's probably high on the D-scale.

[misutii]

Dominance= 8
Influence= 28
Steadiness= 32
Compliance= 32

in other words carry on with what you're doing and leave me alone, lol

[aestrivex]

dominance = 24
influence = 8
steadiness = 28
compliance = 40

this test is a piece of shit.

[marooned]

Erm... I'm really light-headed atm... but here they are

Dominance = 28 (low… almost avg)
Influence = 16 (low)
Steadiness = 20 (low)
Compliance = 36 (avg)

[machintruc]

D=24
I=24
S=28
C=24

I don't think I replied to this test very accurately. Most questions are more reflecting to cognitive development stage rather than cognitive types.

DiSC = retarded.

[Khola aka Bee]

Dominance: 32
Influence: 40
Steadiness: 16
Compliance: 12

[Cuddly McFluffles]

I hate DiSC. It's like some discriminatory tool or something, to determine if you're able to lead or not.

I could lead people. Over a cliff...

Seriously, high Is can lead, but that doesn't mean they should, IMO, not without a C on hand to catch the details slipping through the cracks and hold onto papers. (Been there.)

[Joy]

I already know I'm D.

[machintruc]

I'd like to have an high score on the I-scale... High-I types are cool people.

[Joy]

D: 68
I: 20
S: 4
C: 8

[Joy]

This was actually the first typology system I was ever exposed to. My parents learned about it in Sunday school.

[Mea]

D: 32
I: 16
S: 24
C: 28

[machintruc]

D: 32
I: 16
S: 24
C: 28

I suggest you consider being LIE or ILE rather than ILI.

[Joy]

The idea in the system is that everyone has a dominant style, but there's always a secondary style. Possible combinations are D/I, D/C, I/D, I/S, S/C, S/I, C/S, and C/D. D and S are opposites that are not found together (unless one's environment forced him/her to adapt and take on traits of their opposite), as are I and C.

Therefore, if someone isn't sure what type they are because a few of their scores are close, they can look at their lowest score to help them determine it. Implied, for example, would be either an S/I or an S/C (according to her test scores).

[Joy]

(I'm a D/I, btw.)

[Blaze]

D: 60
I: 32
S: 4
C: 4

first two scores were in the middle range, last two on the left side of the continuum. not a bad test, pretty accurate.

You may be SEE.

[Blaze]

You may be SEE.

not a chance. if there is one thing i'm fairly certain of it's my Fi polr. LOL

[Cuddly McFluffles]

I personally find D descriptions the most difficult to understand. It could be that my idea of a D is really D/C or C/D. I always think of them as motivated to do whatever task they're given.

Never could figure out whether I should be I/S or I/D.

[The Exception]

D: 20
I: 24
S: 28
C: 28

All of my scores ended up in the low (below 30) range. Usually on other DISC tests, my C score is high, the I score is low and the D and S vary depending on the test.

[machintruc]

I changed my mind. I think I'm C/I because I'm not bossy like some Preservational Fives may do. I don't intimidate others, and I'm quite friendly.

I thought of something : S/D and D/S are possible. I'm thinking of Preservational Fours and Intimate Sixes.

That's a pretty broad range of possibility, if you think you're C/I but could be D/S / S/D. Have you considered another DiSC test?

Screw tests.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

Fuck tests.

Not a test.

Fuck DISC too

[Joy]

D: EJ and/or ExTx
I: EP and/or ExFx
S: IP and/or IxFx
C: IJ and/or IxTx

[Joy]

i think the last two should be the other way around, i mean think of communication styles, come on...

amazingly, i can see both, temperaments and communication styles fitting here, with temperaments the other way around for the last two too though.

I'm actually somewhat repulsed by the S description. If it is describing IJ (which it's not), then I am not EJ.

How about this... which one is closer to enneagram 1, S or C?

[Creepy-Diana]

.

[Joy]

neither one, particularly not C. That was my lowest score. 12 for C. About average range for the other 3.

This test really says nothing.

Yeah, I could see how you would have a hard time really relating to one of those types more so than the others. I could see that with a lot of people.

[Joy]

i've looked at results of people who posted here and it does seem to correlate to:

S Dominance
N Compliance
F Influence
T Steadiness

You do know that D is extroverted and task oriented, I is extroverted and people oriented, S is introverted and people oriented, and C is introverted and task oriented... right?

What do they mean by their version of E/I ?

I'm socionics IT and myersian ET. I think I'm C-first or something, despite the test results. I'm interested in leading, but I don't really like to intimidate people, and I'm task-oriented rather than people-oriented.

I don't think I relate much to D or S.

I think it's more related to Etypes than socionic types or myersian types :

D : 3 8
I : 2 7
S : 4 9
C : 1 5

[Cuddly McFluffles]

What do they mean by their version of E/I ?

Like Joy said, it's outgoing vs. reserved. I was introduced to the 4-temperament system first as well, and I've been reading about it over a span of about 5 or 6 years.

On another note, the DiSC system irritates me, but I admit that the version I took was pretty good. It measures you on your outward appearance and certain interaction traits, preferred surroundings, etc. Still, once again, it's only as good as the person's view of him- or herself.

*takes test*

D 24
I 40
S 20
C 16

In other words, I'm not "high anything" on this one. I's the only one in mid-range. This is why I dislike the 4-temperament system: can't figure out what the heck I am (some say San/Mel isn't a valid combination).

[machintruc]

I'm C-high, and I'm outgoing.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

I'm C-high, and I'm outgoing.

Makes no sense, according to those theories. This said, I'm a less social I (I can communicate, but I prefer having a reason to approach people). What's your secondary?
