The terms "personality" and "temperament" are synonymous to most people. When we use these terms, we are referring to the predictable patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. There are many theories about personality types. The DISC Model is simple to understand, easy to remember, and practical to apply.
Understanding our active or passive roles (extroverts and introverts) helps us identify our specific temperament styles. By combining these two different categories of influences, along with our task and people-orientations, we end up with four specific types.
Everyone has a predictable pattern of behavior because of his or her specific personality. There are four basic personality types. These types, also known as temperaments, blend together to determine your unique personality. To help you understand why you often feel, think, and act the way you do, review this entire report.
Our personalities should never become an excuse for poor behavior. The attitude of many is: "That's just the way I am. Love me or leave me. You knew I was like that when you married me," but we should not blame our often poor reactions on our personalities.
Each temperament style represents a specific behavior pattern. How we use or abuse our personalities determines our effectiveness with others. Once we understand the four quadrant model of behavior styles, we can begin to identify our individual profile. To simplify the four types of temperaments, we will use William Marston's DISC titles. The following are the four quadrants of the DISC model:
"D" - active / task-oriented
"I" - active / people-oriented
"S" - passive / people-oriented
"C" - passive / task-oriented
Once you burn these four quadrants in your mind you can begin to easily identify the different personality types. It will also help you become more effective in your work and home. Each personality has its strengths and weaknesses. Conflict or harmony in relationships and job performance are the result of how we use or abuse our personalities in response to life's situations.
Keep in mind that 85% of people tend to be composites of DISC; therefore, most people will be blends and combinations of the evident characteristics in the four personalities. There are numerous variations of this model. Speakers, writers, and trainers have added their own titles to make the model more simpler or personal, but this four vector explanation of basic human behavior has become very popular. The DISC personality profile (paper instrument) was originally designed by Dr. John Geier and has been validated by the Kaplan Report and Winchester Report. The DISC profile and Model of Human Behavior stands out as one of the most reliable and practical available today.
You have a predictable pattern of behavior because you have a specific personality. There are four basic personality types. These types, also known as temperaments, blend together to determine your unique personality. To help you understand why you often feel, think and act the way you do, review the "Interpretation" page after the Graph 1 and 2 personalized pages in this report.

Guard Against & Warnings
1/15/24, 12:03 AM DISC Report | Uniquely You
https://uniquelyyou.org/profilesystem/report/379934 10/17
Be careful that you don't let people lead you down unreasonable paths just because you trust them. Question people's motives and actions. Use your intellectual skills to discern why people want you to do certain things. Be more active and assertive. Also openly communicate more often. Speak out and let your voice be heard. Don't wait for people to ask your opinion. Jump into conversations and share your opinions. Don't just listen to people. Volunteer to take charge of a group or entertain an audience. Overcome your shyness and nervousness. Be more enthusiastic. Act like a clown. Tell jokes and stories. Don't let your fears cripple you.
Relating Style
You relate best to those with whom you are closest. You aren't very friendly in crowds. You seem to slide into a corner and hide away with a few people. You relate very well to your closest friends, but you should seek more relationships. Become a social butterfly and watch your circle of influence increase. Jump into conversations and notice how much better you relate to more people. Don't just focus on being with the same close friends. Mingle and express yourself to more people. Also, volunteer to be in charge of projects. Appeal more to the masses by having genuine confidence in yourself.
Conclusion
You are the most popular type when it comes to being both people-and task-oriented. In other words, there are more of your type than all the other personality types who are both submissive and cautious. You are also one of the most reserved and passive types. You are generally comfortable with life and don't seem to seek change. You actually don't like change. You prefer the status quo. You can be insecure because of your lack of confidence. You sometimes struggle with a poor self-image because people seem to treat you as insignificant. Compared to others, you are more security and stability oriented. That means you want more secure, stable, and steady environments. You don't like trouble or to disappoint anyone. You are the most loyal friend anyone could have, but you don't tend to have as many friends as you could because you don't seek popularity. You have a great personality, but you don't care much about showing it off. You tend to be more content than others, except when it comes to understanding the difficult questions of life. You need explanation and information to satisfy your inquisitiveness. You could succeed more in life if you would overcome your doubts and attempt the things you never thought possible.
DISCLAIMER: These insights are broad descriptions of your specific personality type. They are NOT intended to be 100% accurate. This is simply a brief overview.
Having completed your Uniquely You Personality Questionnaire, be sure to view these descriptions from a Graph 2: "This is me" perspective.

People seem to respond and behave from different perspectives and drives. This profile is purely subjective, based on the DISC Model of Human Behavior Science, and applies to your more unguarded, unmasked, and accentuate type of behavior, especially among close friends or relatives.

This is simply how you tend to behave when your true feelings are evident or come out under stress. Your interpretation of this information should take into account your environment, maturity, spirituality, and experiences.

When Both Graphs 1 & 2 Are Generally Different
Your Uniquely You Personality Profile contains basic insights on how you tend to think, feel, and act from a DISC temperament type perspective. If your graphs are generally different, you are simply revealing something
1/15/24, 12:03 AM DISC Report | Uniquely You
https://uniquelyyou.org/profilesystem/report/379934 11/17
contrasting about your behavior. You may be saying that you think people want you to behave one way in public, but you sometimes feel you should respond in a different way in private. In other words, if you have a specific high type in Graph 1 and the same type low in Graph 2, you believe that people expect you to be one way in public, but not that way in private.
You may also be revealing that you feel that people expect you to behave one way among fellow employees and associates at work or publicly outside your more personal and familiar environments (Graph 1), than you tend to behave either at home under pressure among your closest friends and relatives or in more familiar environments (Graph 2). Keep in mind that Graph 1 is the behavior "expected of you" when you have your guard up and mask on (usually your place of employment or in casual environments). Graph 2 is "the real you" when you let your hair down, drop your guard, or take your mask off (usually at home or among those you know best in more familiar environments).
When both graphs are different, you are either struggling with your motivations and feelings or you are aware of your challenges and perhaps handling them well. Having a different configuration in your two graphs is common and can be very enlightening. It may be a sign that you are mature and capable of controlling your inner feelings and natural thoughts. Or, it can mean that you are not even aware of the struggles within you.
Understanding and adjusting your thoughts, feelings, and actions using these insights can be very productive and wise. Review and study your two graphs, keeping in mind the similarities and differences. Then, learn how to control your motivations rather than letting them control you.
Case Study or Example of an Immature or Out-Of-Control “C/S” Type
Imagine juvenile and selfish “S/C” and “C/S” types who make people feel sorry for them and go through life like wounded puppies. There are many of these types that are immature, but others are mature. Some are in control of their personalities; most are not.
Those who are not aware of their misguided motivations and imbalanced drives struggle with their passivity. They tend to be too withdrawn and introverted. They are often intimidated and manipulated individuals.
These types can make the most trustworthy employees and best friends, but they tend to be crippled by timidity and lack of aggressiveness. They are both submissive and cautious, but when out of control they seem to be overly vulnerable and underachievers.
They tend to be too laid back and often wait for someone to tell them what do. They don’t usually take risks. They contemplate and consider all their options before deciding and seem to take forever to make decisions.
These “S/C” or “C/S” types are often the best liked by others because of their loyalty and wisdom, but so often are overlooked as leaders. They make great followers and faithful workers. Their greatest challenges are taking charge and moving forward with little information.
They are both people and task oriented, but focus on individuals, rather than crowds. They concentrate on doing one thing at a time, rather than juggling several projects at once.
People may never recognize when these types are out of control, because they seem to blend into the crowd and seldom seek to stand out. They don’t like to talk much, unless it is about a specific subject they know a lot about. They come alive when people make inaccurate and foolish statements about something. They want correct and compliant answers. Details are most important to them.
Immature and unbalanced types can surprise others because they can act contrary to their natural way. They sometimes become like maniacs when someone messes with their families or security. They want stability and safety, but when threatened they can act out of character and crazy.
1/15/24, 12:03 AM DISC Report | Uniquely You
https://uniquelyyou.org/profilesystem/report/379934 12/17
When hurt or confused, these types can become very critical and faultfinding. They often turn into moody melancholies and fret over the most unimportant things. They worry and doubt about things when their personalities are stressed and pressured.
They tend to be very agreeable, but when threatened, they become resistant and uneasy. They can become set in their ways and hate to change. They seek security and stability at all cost. Sometimes the cost is so high they lose the very safety they seek.
In spite of their rare outrages, they make the best friends and consistent workers.
Case Study or Example of an Mature or In-Control “C/S” Type
Here’s an example of a “S/C” or “C/S” type who has learned to control his personality, rather than allowing it to control him. He hasn’t always been that way. There was a time he was so shy and quiet that no one noticed he was around. He seemed to be afraid of his own shadow.
But while learning what made him tick and what ticked him off, he discovered he was a passive person. He noticed many of the negatives about being withdrawn were affecting his effectiveness. He decided to take control of his feelings, thoughts, and actions. He determined to be more active and outgoing.
This once quiet person began to act like an extrovert, even though he was still an introvert. He didn’t actually change his personality, he just learned how to overcome it. He also became more aggressive and assertive. Everyone noticed the difference.
He was also comfortable with his new behavior because he was aware and conscientious of his decisions. In the past he would be shy, but now he was outgoing and talkative. Before he used to be very contemplative and would go into deep thought about things, but now he is not so opinionated or caustic.
He began engaging in conversations enthusiastically telling interesting stories, laughing and carrying on rather than just listening and not reacting. He also shared in the intellectual discussions, but guarded his tone from becoming argumentative and confrontational.
He became very flexible and seemed to evolve into being all things to all people. He even learned to be direct and demanding when necessary. Rather than being manipulated or intimidated, he became strong and positive.
This “S/C” or “C/S” person learned to control his personality and exercise disciplined thinking, rather than being so predictably cautious or calculating. He became more optimistic and forward. He took control of his feelings, rather than allowing others to control his responses.
He became a very successful leader. He knew when to demand and when to submit. He was also aware of when to speak and when to keep quiet. He even exhibited great wisdom by responding rather than reacting.
Most of all, he became an all-around attentive and alert individual able to adapt, rather than be so predictably passive and critical like most other personalities he mirrored. He would surprise people with his strength and confidence that seemed to contradict his naturally compassionate side.
He actually became difficult to read because he seemed so flexible and capable of sizing up situations and people. He responded differently according to every situation. His wisdom and control of himself became his greatest assets.

They tend to be too laid back and often wait for someone to tell them what do. They don’t usually take risks. They contemplate and consider all their options before deciding and seem to take forever to make decisions.
These “S/C” or “C/S” types are often the best liked by others because of their loyalty and wisdom, but so often are overlooked as leaders. They make great followers and faithful workers. Their greatest challenges are taking charge and moving forward with little information.
They are both people and task oriented, but focus on individuals, rather than crowds. They concentrate on doing one thing at a time, rather than juggling several projects at once.
People may never recognize when these types are out of control, because they seem to blend into the crowd and seldom seek to stand out. They don’t like to talk much, unless it is about a specific subject they know a lot about. They come alive when people make inaccurate and foolish statements about something. They want correct and compliant answers. Details are most important to them.
Immature and unbalanced types can surprise others because they can act contrary to their natural way. They sometimes become like maniacs when someone messes with their families or security. They want stability and safety, but when threatened they can act out of character and crazy.
When hurt or confused, these types can become very critical and faultfinding. They often turn into moody melancholies and fret over the most unimportant things. They worry and doubt about things when their personalities are stressed and pressured.
They tend to be very agreeable, but when threatened, they become resistant and uneasy. They can become set in their ways and hate to change. They seek security and stability at all cost. Sometimes the cost is so high they lose the very safety they seek.
In spite of their rare outrages, they make the best friends and consistent workers.
Case Study or Example of an Mature or In-Control “C/S” Type
Here’s an example of a “S/C” or “C/S” type who has learned to control his personality, rather than allowing it to control him. He hasn’t always been that way. There was a time he was so shy and quiet that no one noticed he was around. He seemed to be afraid of his own shadow.
But while learning what made him tick and what ticked him off, he discovered he was a passive person. He noticed many of the negatives about being withdrawn were affecting his effectiveness. He decided to take control of his feelings, thoughts, and actions. He determined to be more active and outgoing.
This once quiet person began to act like an extrovert, even though he was still an introvert. He didn’t actually change his personality, he just learned how to overcome it. He also became more aggressive and assertive. Everyone noticed the difference.

He was also comfortable with his new behavior because he was aware and conscientious of his decisions. In the past he would be shy, but now he was outgoing and talkative. Before he used to be very contemplative and would go into deep thought about things, but now he is not so opinionated or caustic.
He began engaging in conversations enthusiastically telling interesting stories, laughing and carrying on rather than just listening and not reacting. He also shared in the intellectual discussions, but guarded his tone from becoming argumentative and confrontational.
He became very flexible and seemed to evolve into being all things to all people. He even learned to be direct and demanding when necessary. Rather than being manipulated or intimidated, he became strong and positive.
This “S/C” or “C/S” person learned to control his personality and exercise disciplined thinking, rather than being so predictably cautious or calculating. He became more optimistic and forward. He took control of his feelings, rather than allowing others to control his responses.
He became a very successful leader. He knew when to demand and when to submit. He was also aware of when to speak and when to keep quiet. He even exhibited great wisdom by responding rather than reacting.
Most of all, he became an all-around attentive and alert individual able to adapt, rather than be so predictably passive and critical like most other personalities he mirrored. He would surprise people with his strength and confidence that seemed to contradict his naturally compassionate side.
He actually became difficult to read because he seemed so flexible and capable of sizing up situations and people. He responded differently according to every situation. His wisdom and control of himself became his greatest assets.
