Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong. More often, people know what they are not good at—and even then more people are wrong than right. And yet, a person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weaknesses, let alone on something one cannot do at all. - Business Guru Peter F. Drucker (1909 - 2005)

“Mark Twain told a wonderful story about one man’s search for the world’s greatest general. The man spent an entire lifetime looking for the general and finally the day came for him to travel on. When he arrived in heaven he walked over to St. Peter and said, ‘I’m looking for the world’s greatest general.’” “St. Peter said, ‘I know, I know, we’ve been expecting you, and I have good news. If you’ll look right over there, you will see the world’s greatest general.’” “The old man excitedly looked over and said, ‘That is not the world’s greatest general. That man was a cobbler on main street in my hometown!’” “St. Peter responded, “But had he been a general, he would have been the greatest general ever.”

 

Remember the medical encyclopedia we had at home as children which had transparent fold over pages. The first page had a skeleton depicting the major bones in a human body. The next slide had the human organs, and the next the muscles in the body. As the reader folded pages one over the other he began getting a more complete understanding of how the human body is made. Each page would help you understand how a particular system was constructed, but you could not get a complete picture of how the body functioned as a whole until you folded all the other slides over.

 

In the same way, when the results of all three of the following tests are examined as a whole they paint a revealing picture or personal profile, much like each progressive transparency in the medical book. The DiSC Classic describes how people view themselves.The Myers-Briggs test describes how people approach the world, and process information, and the Strengthsfinders test evaluates what talents, and strengths a person is gifted with.

 

There are four tests, which together, provide a shadow or outline of a person's personality, behavioral traits, and personal strengths, and talents. Humans are much to complex to think any testing or evaluation process will uncover all there is to know about a person. It is part of our humanity, and explains the tremendous variation in people. Each test has its own purpose, and provides unique insights into how we are designed and provides valuable insights into our strengths relative to our efforts in a business.

 

The DiSC Classic describes behavior based on how people view themselves in their various environments. Purchase the DiSC Classic, (Select EDC2 from the list of options) from this link DISC Classic Profile.
