Whether it is the Influence Style Indicator, which shares your influencing styles, CliftonStrengths, which measures your natural talents, or DiSC, which identifies your behavioral tendencies in the workplace, here is a message I repeat often: These tools are not the full story. I’ve given hundreds of assessments to organizations, and while they are a great foundation for improving team dynamics, communication and self-awareness, they don’t define you or your team. What they do provide is a snapshot and a starting point for understanding how you may tend to show up at work.
If your organization administers the Everything DiSC assessment, your report will show you a map with a dot indicating where your preferences fall among the four styles. For example, your placement might suggest you lean toward being fast-paced and outspoken (like those with D or i style preferences) or more cautious and reflective (like those with C or S preferences). It also highlights whether your natural tendencies show up as more questioning and skeptical (like D and C preferences) or more accepting and warmer (like i and S preferences).
