Essay On DISC Assessment

Improved Essays
Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that.

I am going to focus on these things in the workplace to do a better job, as I believe that this can be true. Both also indicate that I can be evasive of confrontation – which I believe is also true, and I am going to actively examine this to make my workplace a better one.
I sincerely wish that these assessments had been introduced to me more in detail sooner.
I believe I took one in college 10 years ago, but it was not explored in depth. I may have made different choices in my life with more perspective into who I was and suggestions about who I
