D.I.S.C.

I probably have one of the coolest Physics classes so far.

We haven't done anything with eggs or skateboards just yet, but instead we're learning about personality types. I love this very much! It's fun to get inside people's heads! That's why I'm sad that I can't take Psychology this year...

There is a purpose for this though! I wanted to show you what we used to determine our own personality types. Perhaps if you've finished your homework, you could read through this and determine for yourself (and perhaps you could leave a comment below as to what you came up with!).

The D Personality:

Task-oriented/outgoing

Some Synonyms: Dominant, Driving, Doers

"D types can be very self-sufficient, relying on their natural abilities and talents to get them through difficult situations... They are never satisfied with the status quo. They are constantly looking for new and better ideas and ways of doing things."

Basic Needs: Challenge, Control, Choices

The I Personality:

People-oriented/Outgoing

Some Synonyms: Inspirational, Influencing, Impulsive

"High I's are very friendly. They seem to talk to or wave to everyone they see. They know no strangers. After you have been with them five minutes, you feel like you have known them all your life."

Basic Needs: Recognition, Approval, Popularity

The S Personality

People-oriented/Reserved

Some Synonyms: Steady, Stable, Supportive

"An S is very orderly and efficient, preferring to know that things are running smoothly... They prefer the standard, tried and proven way of doing things... One of their mottos is, 'Working together we can do it.'"

(Hmm... interesting motto...)

Basic Needs: Appreciation, Security, Approval

The C Personality

Task-oriented/Reserved

Some Synonyms: Competent, Cautious, Careful

"The C type is usually extremely gifted. They are very bright and have a high capacity for intellectual achievement. They know how to take a big project and break it down into little components."

Basic Needs: Quality answers, Excellence, Value

So... what's your personality type?

I did this several hours before now, and I (and one other person) determined that I have a large mixture of "S" and "C." Now you know.

Of course, everyone on earth has a little bit of all of these personality types. There are just certain areas that are more apparent than the rest.

Yay learning!

I'll speak with you soon! Until then...

Your madly blogging,
