This methodology, which is still valid a century later, is called <strong>the DISC Model<\/strong> . <\/p>\n<p>This analysis does not mean to conclude that all people who are part of the same prototype are the same, since each one behaves in a particular way. However, this model can serve as a good guide to define the behavioral profile, both our own and those of the people around us, and thus understand ourselves better. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The four prototypes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Dominant<\/strong><\/span> people emphasize <strong>achieving their own results<\/strong> with self-confidence. They enjoy being in positions of <g id=\"gid_3\">authority<\/g> where they can do things on their own terms. They are very goal-oriented.  <\/p>\n<p>These people are <strong>clear<\/strong> and <strong>concise<\/strong> , <strong>persistent<\/strong> and <strong>confident<\/strong> . They are innovative thinkers with <strong>a lot of initiative<\/strong> and are not afraid to take risks or try something new. They respond very well to logic, reason and information, but not so much to emotion. They want <g id=\"gid_5\">quick and direct answers<\/g> , without going into details. They work <g id=\"gid_6\">under pressure<\/g> and in situations with a high workload. They may delegate more work than they do, and they want to get things done quickly but may have unrealistic concepts of time. They have a <strong>very high ego<\/strong> , which can be perceived positively due to confidence but at the same time negatively due to pride. They can become intolerant, ignore other opinions and communicate in an aggressive way.       <\/p>\n<p>Their <strong>innate fear<\/strong> is that they will be taken advantage of, especially by someone they trust. Because of this, they tend to strive for positions of authority, where they can be in charge of decision-making and control of environments. <\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords: adventurous, determined, innovative, direct, promoter and competitive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>Influential<\/strong><\/span> people emphasize <strong>influencing or persuading others<\/strong> . They are characterized by their <g id=\"gid_3\">enthusiasm<\/g> , <g id=\"gid_4\">they talk quickly<\/g> and often jump from topic to topic, talking a lot about themselves and their experiences. They are expressive, <g id=\"gid_5\">spontaneous<\/g> and <g id=\"gid_6\">impulsive<\/g> . They trust people and tend to be optimistic.   <\/p>\n<p>These people <strong>thrive on fun experiences<\/strong> and being with other people. They have no problem talking to strangers or being the <strong>center of attention<\/strong> . Because of this personality trait, they can make people feel integrated and motivated. They bring a positive <strong>sense of humor<\/strong> and attitude. They are very creative, and have an easy time <strong>negotiating and resolving conflicts<\/strong> . They pay <strong>little attention to details<\/strong> . They can be bad with time and even in creating a strategy. They have a <strong>greater predisposition to promise than to get involved<\/strong> . They may tend to listen only when it is convenient, and may be perceived as \u201cwaiting for their turn to speak.\u201d They may <strong>abuse gestures and facial expressions<\/strong> to communicate.         <\/p>\n<p>Their <strong>innate fear<\/strong> is of being rejected by others. As a result, they express themselves as fun, outgoing, and friendly. <\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords: likeable, optimistic, persuasive, popular, sociable and enthusiastic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Security<\/span><\/span><\/strong> people emphasize <strong>cooperation<\/strong> , <strong>sincerity<\/strong> , <strong>tolerance<\/strong> , and <strong>dependence on others<\/strong> . They have a <g id=\"gid_7\">relaxed<\/g> , soft, and warm tone of voice. They are placid, <g id=\"gid_8\">avoid conflict<\/g> at all times, and gesture very discreetly. They seek <g id=\"gid_9\">routine<\/g> , <g id=\"gid_10\">predictability<\/g> , and <g id=\"gid_11\">security<\/g> . They strive for <g id=\"gid_12\">close personal relationships and<\/g> positive, conflict-free environments. They do not seek to be leaders, but they do seek to be valued.     <\/p>\n<p>They are loyal and supportive team members, sincere and trustworthy. They are content with authority, <g id=\"gid_0\">follow instructions<\/g> very well and are good at following up on projects. They are <g id=\"gid_1\">patient<\/g> people, sensitive to criticism. They listen actively and are <g id=\"gid_2\">empathetic<\/g> , making others feel like they belong. On the negative side, they <strong>struggle with change<\/strong> and take time to adapt. They may have difficulty setting priorities. They prioritize satisfying the needs of others before their own, but they can hold grudges.      <\/p>\n<p>Their <strong>innate fear<\/strong> is losing their safety and security. As a result, they create routines and resist change. <\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords: friendly, patient, sincere, calm, stable and with the ability to listen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Compliant<\/strong><\/span> people emphasize <strong>quality<\/strong> , <strong>precision<\/strong> , <strong>experience<\/strong> , and <strong>competence<\/strong> .

They think very <strong>logically<\/strong> , precisely, <strong>analytically<\/strong> and <strong>systematically<\/strong> . They tend to be <strong>excellent at problem solving<\/strong> and <strong>creative thinking<\/strong> . They have a <strong>realistic perspective<\/strong> on the situation, and are able to point out all the reasons why something will not work. They tend to be quiet and sometimes solitary. They define the situation well, and make sure that others have the accurate information, and thus, work to achieve consensus. They can <strong>get stuck in the details<\/strong> , being <strong>too subject to the procedure<\/strong> and method. They may prefer to work alone than with a team. They can sometimes be perceived as a negative figure, for being very critical and argumentative people.        <\/p>\n<p>Their <strong>innate fear<\/strong> is of being criticized, especially for their work. As a result, they spend a lot of time and energy trying to be precise and correct. <\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords: precise, exact, fact-finding, diplomatic and analytical.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: Marston, WM (1928).
