It's no secret that our professional behavioral assessment of choice at Training Wheels is Disc. One of the top reasons we prefer it over other assessments is that it's a behaviora l assessment rather than a personality assessment. In our opinion, individuals can always change and tweak their behavior given the specific circumstances, but they are not going to change their personalities. The more self-awareness an individual has around their behavior and communication preferences, the better they can work with others. Within Disc, there are distance behaviors for each of the four Styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. With Picture This, we created picture cards that match the common behaviors in each style. There is also a word on the back of the picture card that goes with the photo. We used this with a group recently, and as an Icebreaker, we asked each person to select one photo they were immediately drawn to and one that repelled them. Then we went into the Disc information and training, which includes the history of Disc, what the common behaviors are in each style, and then gave them their individual reports. We then had them sort the photos into the four quadrants based on what they now knew about Disc. (You could do this with the photo side or the word side). Then, as a final debrief, we asked them to recall the first two photos they selected in the icebreaker. Eighty percent of them selected a photo from their primary style as their 'drawn to' photo, and ninety percent chose the photo that repelled them from the style in the opposite quadrant as their primary style. Completely fascinating! Show more
