Turns out I’m Yellow

Ever heard about DISC? I did my first DISC assessment (in 20 years of employment) at the end of last year. I had never had one (that I remember). I found it really useful to understand my working behaviour. Based on the assessment, I am predominantly yellow, followed by blue, then green, then red. I must admit the results don’t come as a surprise.

Yellow reflects my bubbly characteristics alongside my geeky blue side. Green is the next in line (if my effort is not bringing up clear and relatively quick results, I’ll just keep my head down, sticking to the essentials. And red… What can I say? I was never bossy; my style is fully collaborative.

And the most reassuring fact is that I am true to myself, no matter what setting I’m in. Analysing our behaviour can actually be quite useful in providing us with pointers on what levels to adjust to make my work approach more productive and pleasurable, once other people understand theirs and ours.

Have you done one yet?
