Four Components of Behavior

The Elements of DISC-Index

This DISC-Index report is unique in the marketplace for a number or reasons. You just completedthe first ever click & drag DISC instrument on the market. This was constructed in a precisemanner to allow for ease of responses, even in the midst of many difficult decisions. Thisintuitive interface allows you to focus on your answers, not the process.

Also, unlike other DISC instruments, this instrument allows you to rank all four items instead.As a result, this instrument produces zero waste in responses. Some instruments ask you tochoose two items out of four, and leave two items blank. Those instruments have a 50% wasteof terms, and do not provide for an efficient response process. The DISC Index instrumenteliminates that response problem.

Another unique aspect of this DISC-Index report is that we present the D-I-S-C aspects of yourbehavior both as separate entities and as a dynamic combination of traits. This report presentsthe first time that each of the D-I-S-C elements are separated and developed as pure entitiesof themselves. This can serve as an important learning tool as you explore the deeper aspectsof DISC. Your unique pattern of DISC traits is developed through the context of this report.Additionally, the following four pages will be devoted to exploring your DISC scores as separatecomponents within the unique combination of traits that you exhibit.

A comment on contradictions: you may read some areas of this report that may contradict othertext. This is due to the fact that many of us show contradictory behaviors in the normal courseof our daily operations. Each of us are at times talkative and other times more reflective,depending on how we are adapting our behavior. The expression of these contradictions is ademonstration of the sensitivity of this instrument to determine these subtle differences in ournatural and adaptive style.

Four Components of Behavior

Decisive

Your approach to problem-solving and obtaining results

The D in DISC represents Decisiveness. Your score on this scale, represented below, showsyour location on the D spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn'tmean good, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioraltraits. For example:

Higher D —Tend to solve new problems very quickly and assertively. They take an active and directapproach to obtaining results. The key here is new problems such as those that areunprecedented or haven't happened before. There may also be an element of risk in takingthe wrong approach or developing an incorrect solution, but those with a High D score arewilling to take those risks, even if they may be incorrect.

Lower D —Tend to solve new problems in a more deliberate, controlled, and organized manner. Again,the key here is new and unprecedented problems. The Lower D style will solve routineproblems very quickly because the outcomes are already known. But, when the outcomesare unknown and the problem is an uncertain one, the Lower D style will approach the newproblem in a calculated and deliberate manner by thinking things through very carefully beforeacting.

• You demand high levels of results or performance, inboth yourself and in others as well.

• You are very decisive and a risk-taker.• You may be perceived as somewhat egocentric by others

(i.e., others who you feel are less confident than you).• You are always interested in the new, the innovative, and

the cutting-edge ideas.• You can be very commanding and tend to take charge

more than you follow.• You are practical - all about the business and getting

Four Components of Behavior

Interactive

Your approach to interacting with people and display of emotions.

The I in DISC represents Interactive. Your score on this scale represented below shows yourlocation on the I spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't meangood, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioraltraits. For example:

Higher I —Tend to meet new people in an outgoing, gregarious, and socially assertive manner. The keyhere is new people whom one hasn't met before. Many other styles are talkative, but moreso with people that they've known for some time. The Higher I scores are talkative, interactiveand open even with people whom they have just initially met. People scoring in this rangemay also be a bit impulsive. Generally speaking, those with the Higher I scores are generallytalkative and outgoing.

Lower I —Tend to meet new people in a more controlled, quiet and reserved manner. Here's where thekey word "new people" enters the equation. Those with Lower I scores are talkative with theirfriends and close associates, but tend to be more reserved with people they've just recentlymet. They tend to place a premium on the control of emotions, and approach new relationshipswith a more reflective approach than an emotional one.

Your approach to the pace of the work environment

The S in DISC represents Stabilizing. Your score on this scale represented below shows yourlocation on the S spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't meangood, and a low score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioraltraits. For example:

Higher S —Tend to prefer a more controlled, deliberative and predictable environment. They place apremium on security of a work situation and disciplined behavior. They also tend to show asense of loyalty to a team or organization, and as a result, may have a greater longevity ortenure in a position than some other styles.

Lower S —Tend to prefer a more flexible, dynamic, unstructured work environment. They value freedomof expression and the ability to change quickly from one activity to another.

Introduction to the Values Index

About This Report

Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common

trait of self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and

this makes it easy for them to find ways of achieving objectives that resonate with their

motivations. They also understand their limitations and where they are not effective and this

helps them understand what does not inspire them or what will not motivate them to succeed.

Those who understand their natural motivators better are far more likely to pursue the right

opportunities, for the right reasons, and get the results they desire.

This report measures seven dimensions of motivation. They are:

• Aesthetic - a drive for balance, harmony and form.

• Economic - a drive for economic or practical returns.

• Individualistic - a drive to stand out as independent and unique.

Seven Dimensions of Value and Motivation

The Elements of the Values Index

This Values Index is unique in the marketplace in that it examines seven independent and

unique aspects of value or motivation. Most other values instruments only examine six

dimensions of value by combining the Individualistic and Political into one dimension. The

Values Index remains true to the original works and models of two of the most significant

researchers in this field, thus delivering to you a profile that truly helps you understand your

own unique motivations and drivers.

Also, the Values Index is the first to use a click & drag approach to ranking the various

statements in the instrument, which makes taking the instrument more intuitive, natural and

in the end you can actually create the order you see in your mind on the screen.

Finally, the Values Index instrument contains the most contemporary list of statements to

make your choices more relevant to your life today, which helps ensure the most accurate

results possible.

Patterns Overview

Over fifty years of scientific research has revealed that there are three distinct styles of decision-making. Eachof us can make decisions in these three ways, but we tend to develop a preference for one more than the othertwo. This preference becomes a subconscious force, affecting the decisions we make on a daily basis andshaping how we perceive the world around us and ourselves.

The three decisional styles are the personal, the practical, and the analytical. These dimensions can be examinedin the form of patterns based on two distinct factors unique to axiology.

The Personal Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see the world from apersonal point of view, or with concern for the individuals involved. They see people in a unique, individual lightand are more concerned about others than the results and theory. This involves a personal involvement with,concentration on, or investment in people. To this style, the world is filled with people needing to be understood.

The Practical Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see things in very practical,no nonsense, real-world, task oriented manner. They are more concerned with results than others and theory.They see people in comparative ways as they relate to others. To this style, the world is an objective waitingto be achieved.

The Analytical Style: People with a preference for this style of making decisions tend to see the world from atheoretical perspective, more in an abstract way than a concrete one. They see people as part of a systemand tend to think in very black and white terms. They are more concerned with thinking about things, andanalysis than actual results or personal concerns of others. To this style, the world is a problem to be exploredand solved.

To some extent we are all capable of making all three kinds of decisions, but our preference tends to be forone more than the other two. Here's a simple example of the three in contrast to each other. One of each styleare sitting around a table trying to figure out what to do. While the Personal style is focused on the needs ofthe workers involved and how best to utilize their talents, the Practical doesn't really care as much about thepersonal needs, or if it is done right, he just wants to get it done. Finally there is the Analytical who sees noreason to worry about the people involved or even getting it done if it isn't going to be done correctly.

We all have different balances of these three styles; that's what makes our decisions and actions different fromeach other's. These ways of making decisions, and how we use them, are at the core of who we are. They arebehind our preferences, our strengths, and our weaknesses. In the following pages you will find a list of capacitieswhich are the result of your unique combination of these three decisional styles. It is this understanding of yourindividual strengths and weaknesses that will enable you to affect change in your life and achieve greaterpersonal success. It is only by first understanding something that we are then able to change it.

The "Split" in a Pattern title signifies extreme separation between a person's Maximizers and minimizers. Thedifference between the two can be extreme and very noticeable.

You tend to have a good self esteem and you define yourself based mostly on your own internal sense of worth,rather than the job you hold or things you own. You live according to a strong sense of who you feel you are,not what others would want you to be. Your work or primary social roles are of lesser importance to you incomparison. It is also very possible that you are suffering from some role confusion right now. Somethingabout one of your major roles in life has changed and as a result you have confusion about how to proceed.You see the People dimension very well and this is where you have your highest level of development. TheTasks and Systems dimensions are equal to you in both their importance and development, but both areconsidered to have low development levels compared to your high People skills. Level of development speaksto your ability to "see" a specific dimension. The more clearly we see a dimension of thought, the more ablewe are to use it; therefore the better we are at it.
