In the DISC Behavioral Assessment, those who score highly in the primary dimension of ‘I’, or influence, tend to be stronger in verbal correspondence as opposed to written correspondence and enjoy ‘working the crowd’. The DiSC Influence Profile measures the amount of optimism inherent within the individual. The level on which one is scored in the Influence Profile affects a respondent’s optimistic attitude which can affect his or her overall interactions with others and participation in team-oriented goals and tasks. Those with a high level of influence-related traits tend to do very well in real estate sales and many other sales-related positions. Due to their love of working with people, meeting new people and just being with people in general, they also thrive in public relations and customer service. Because they are strongly affected by their environment and the people surrounding them, high “I” dimension individuals will act differently according to these varying factors. The DISC Influence Profile assessment tools can assist in helping the individual harness the power and strength of their influence-based personality traits to become a more effective and productive team member or business owner. Those who score highly in the area of influential patterns of behavior may tailor their behavior to the environment and the people they are currently working with. One area that could usually be strengthened with high “I” dimension individuals is that they tend to be less attentive to minute, yet sometimes critical, details. However, DISC learning tools can help the individual who scores highly in the ‘I’ dimension to allocate the beneficial aspects that their behavioral patterns bring to personal interactions and incorporate them into a less social environment. This will increase their effectiveness with detail-oriented assignments that they normally are not attractive to them.
