The DISC leadership diagnostic test that the professor had everyone complete was one of the most interesting activities during our entire semester of Management 3120. I believe that the test was extremely accurate for my case and seemed to be on a similar track for many other students as well. The result of the test came out for me as an "Id," or "Influential" as a dominant trait and "Dominating" as a recessive trait. This result basically sums up my personality very well, considering that I have heard often from others that I have the tendency to excite, inspire, motivate and energize groups of people fairly naturally, as well as becoming very dominating and aggressive in times of instability and ambiguity. I was satisfied with the results of this diagnostic in that I do not wish that I had different results. However, one interesting fact to note was that depending on viewer, I could be classified as either "Id" or "Ic" according to the line chart.
I think that these results are only relevant to a certain extent. We can all gauge our general leadership style; however, this proves nothing about our effectiveness as actual leaders. True leaders are those who can win the trust of their followers through a combination of confidence, technical skill, humility, and other qualities. The letters that we were all assigned to have nothing to do with whether we realistically attain that level of trust or not.
It was indeed very interesting class activity! :) Just like you mentioned, this test was extremely accurate for YOU. You are definitely ID. Both dominating and Influential! You are very confident and also humble, so i think you will be a great leader!
