Recognize the student’s own leadership style through the use of the DISC Behavioral assessment package and analyze the meaning of this self-discovery through creation of a personal SWOT analysis.
DiSC® Profile System:
The DiSC products are based on the work of William Moulton Marston, Ph.D., as published in his 1928 book The Emotions of Normal People. Inscape Publishing has researched and refined the original DISC theory to maximize its impact and accuracy. This learning tool, DiSC, is high in both validity (what it is said to measure) and reliability (consistently); DiSC can help you take appropriate action to meet the needs of the situation and everyone involved. You obviously can’t change your personality, but you can choose the way you respond to situations. The main purpose of DiSC system is to assist individuals on their own path of human growth and discovery. There are four dimensions:
D – Dominance dimension which shows itself in direct, decisive behavior
I – influence dimension which shows itself in optimistic, outgoing behavior
S – Steadiness / supportiveness dimension which shows itself in sympathetic, cooperative behavior
C – Conscientiousness dimension which shows itself in concerned, correct behavior
