DISC Test
Steady and Conscientious
A DISC Test profile sums up how each person described themselves while answering the test: it is neither an observation nor a forecast of how two people will get along. Here, on each side, are words that often appear in the options this profile chose, possible misunderstandings and questions to ask each other.
Steady side, with a Conscientious profile
If the other person got a Conscientious (C) profile on the test: the S profile corresponds to the test options containing words like "calm" or "patient", and the C profile to those containing words like "precise" or "cautious". For people who recognize themselves in these profiles, a possible misunderstanding, to check together: a question about a technical point might be heard as calling the person into question, and silence taken for approval. Questions to ask each other: "Is there a point to check before moving forward?" and "How can I tell you that a point is not clear to me, without it sounding like doubt about you?"
What the Conscientious profile describes
In the test, this profile corresponds to the options containing words like "precise" or "cautious". It is a questionnaire result, not a user manual: for people who recognize themselves in it, better to ask them what helps.
Conscientious side, with a Steady profile
If the other person got a Steady (S) profile on the test: the C profile corresponds to the test options containing words like "precise" or "cautious", and the S profile to those containing words like "calm" or "patient". For people who recognize themselves in these profiles, a possible misunderstanding, to check together: a remark about something to fix might be heard as a reproach, and the absence of objection taken for agreement on everything. Questions to ask each other: "How do you prefer to receive a remark?" and "What would tell you that we really agree?"
What the Steady profile describes
In the test, this profile corresponds to the options containing words like "calm" or "patient". It does not tell you what a specific person needs: for people who recognize themselves in it, the simplest way is to ask them.
And in real life?
Take the test yourself, ask them to do the same, then look at your two results together, with the questions on this page.
