How you Communicate with Others
We have just reviewed the dos and don'ts of communication with your specific style. After reviewing this section of the report, you may now feel, "Yes, this is what I would like. This is how I wish people would treat me and work together to give me the information that is important to me." Equally important is that you now see that THE WAY SOMETHING is said can be as important to what is said. And unfortunately, we all have a tendency to communicate the same way that we like to hear something, instead of the way we need to verbalize.
Your style is predominately a "C" style, which means that you prefer receiving information that gives you enough details to make an informed decision. But, when transferring that same information to a client or co-worker, you may need to translate that into giving them just the end results, or even telling them in a manner that is more experiential and less detail oriented. More detail may not necessarily be better when communicating to some other personality styles.
This next section of the report deals with how your style communicates with the other three dominant styles. Certain styles have a natural tendency to communicate well, while certain other styles seem to be speaking different languages all together. Since you are already adept at speaking your "native" language, we will examine how to best communicate and relate to the other three dominant languages people will be using.
This next section is particularly useful for a dominant "C" style as you may have the tendency to give many facts and details, while others are making decisions based more on their "gut" reaction, or on one or two of the most important details.
The Compatibility of Your Behavioral Style
A "C" and a "D" must be careful not become too detail oriented or too demanding, respectively. However, a "C" provides the detail attention the "D" needs, but must remember to answer based on what the end result will be rather than talk about the process.
The "C" and the "I" work well together as their strengths tend to complement one another. In relationships there can sometimes be conflicts as the "C" is more detail oriented and has less of a need to be constantly involved in new or changing social environments.
The "C" and the "S" complement each other and work well together, as each style prefers to work at a pace that provides for accuracy. Also, both styles like to work on something together until completion, while the "I" and the "D" have a tendency to multitask rather than focus on one area until completion.
Two "C"s work well together and also are compatible socially as both will want to make decisions and choices based on careful selection.
How the "C" Can Enhance Interaction With Each Style
C with D
C's tend to view High D's as argumentative, dictatorial, arrogant, pushy and impetuous. Your tendency will be to become defensive, and refer to an external authority to deflect the D's demands. If you are not careful, there will be tension in the relationship. You'll focus on details while the D sees only the "big picture".
Relationship Tip:
Develop direct communication and learn to deal with issues in a straightforward manner. Negotiate commitments and goals on an equal basis. Use summary data in communication.
C with I
You will tend to view the High I as egotistical, superficial, overly optimistic, glib, overly self-assured and inattentive. You may view I's as overbearing, and appeal to external authority to deflect their demands, too. You'll tend to point out possible dangers and problems; and will insist on providing facts and details; but don't overwhelm the I with data.
Relationship Tip:
Be friendly and complimentary, I's truly desire relationships and are not as superficial as you believe them to be. Listen to their ideas and applaud their accomplishments.
C with S
C's will tend to view S's as impassive, apathetic, too accepting, lenient, possessive, complacent and nonchalant. You will agree with S's on the importance of cooperation and the need for caution in the face of risk, especially when making decisions; but you'll likely feel that the S is not precise enough.
Relationship Tip:
S's appreciate a relaxed, slowly developing relationship, but they will focus more on the personal aspects than you will. Allow yourself to appreciate personal details. Also, show appreciation for tasks that are well done by praising them, not the accomplishment.
C with C
You will most likely view other C's as perfectionists who are accurate, thorough, systematic and agreeable. Since you both favor attention to detail, you will work well
together. When working with another C, you will each tend to cooperate and develop extensive control systems for projects. High C's often allow their concern for being correct override their concern for meeting deadlines; and two C's will frequently compete to see who is "more correct".
Relationship Tip:
Be natural and go at a slow pace; talk about facts and details. Be certain to remove any apparent threats to your relationship. Plan carefully and be well prepared for meetings with one another. Accept and encourage one another's doubts and questions. Be certain that you give each other ample time to consider data before asking for decisions.

How Do I Adjust in Different Environments?
This is a discovery worksheet that you will need to refer to your three graphs and to reference materials throughout your profile. Many people change significantly from graph one to graph two, and this can often be the result of certain stressors or environmental changes.
Depending on the changes that occur, your adaptive style may help in problem solving, or the changes can further inhibit a positive outcome. By using personal feedback we can actually self-monitor these changes and use this information in positively affecting outcome.
Sample's PowerDISC(tm) Traits
INFLUENCING
You are always considered when a leader is needed. You have great strengths, and know that you posses wonderful insight into systems and people. Others are willing to follow you because of your charisma and enthusiasm. While sometimes seeming a bit assertive, your optimism and warmth soon have others remembering how important you are to the team..
DIRECTING
Others view you as someone who gets things done, but someone who values them more for what they can do than who they are. Remember that asking is better than telling. Relating to others is often as important as accomplishing the goal; try to be more approachable. Take time to develop relationships and be more transparent about yourself. Others see you as a loner at times, but they want you to be more a team member they can relate to.
PROCESSING
You are probably overloaded with work because you hate to delegate; you tend to do most things yourself. You believe that for something to be done right, you need to do it. Train others around you to work to your own high standards and delegate to them. Although it may take longer initially, you will be helping others to achieve and grow more. Be willing to accept change and understand it may be necessary for growth and security.
DETAILING
You sometimes spend more time justifying your actions than you spend learning new ways of solving problems and accomplishing goals. Be open to new paradigms and do not get defensive when you feel that you are being criticized. Try to look at criticism in a more analytical and detached manner, seeing if there is a seed of truth that can give you insight into more accomplishment.
CREATING
You have probably just completed either a really fun day (for which you now feel guilty), or you have just knocked out a ton of detailed work (but wish you had been able to take a more social approach to the day). You tend to have an internal struggle as to whether you should have fun with the group or stay behind and get things done.
PERSISTING
Others like working together with you because you typically do more than you share of whatever is required, and this makes the entire team look good You will maintain a hands on approach and let others visibly see that you are a team player.
RELATING
You value relationships and know what it takes to nurture them. You go out of your way to make new team members feel welcome and want to be included.

DETAILED KEYWORD ANALYSIS
When you completed the profile, you answered the questions with regard to a particular setting, for example 'Home' or 'Work'. This is because each of us tends to display different aspects of our personality in different settings. You are not the same person at work as you are at home, or in a social setting. One of the significant benefits of a report such as this is its ability to measure how others will tend to perceive us and our behavior in various settings.
In the setting for which you answered the questions, people will tend to perceive you as having certain characteristics. Their perception of these characteristics will change depending on the amount of pressure you experience in any given situation. This is an area where each individual tends to have significant “blind spots”. We often do not realize how we are perceived by others when we are under pressure.
The detailed listing of keywords that follows analyzes the specific value of your DISC scores for two of the three primary graphs. An analysis has been generated for Graph 2, providing a representation of the characteristics you tend to display when your are responding to pressure; and also for Graph 3, providing a representation of the characteristics you tend to see yourself as displaying. The DISC descriptive keywords generated from an analysis of each graph have been divided in to two lists. The first list, which has been generated from Graph 2, is on the page entitled “How Others See Me”. It shows your typical response to pressure. The second list, which has been generated from Graph 3, is on the page entitled “How I See Myself”. Unless your two graphs are completely different, you should expect to see some repetition of items in each list. However, you should be aware that the dominant traits are listed first; therefore it is the placement of each item that demonstrates its significance. You should particularly note items where are repeated, and consider whether they move higher or lower on the list to identify changes.
COMMUNICATION EXERCISE
You may want to consider asking someone to assist you in the following exercise. It should be someone who knows you well in the setting for which you answered the questions on your DISCinsights™ profile, and from whom you would accept a frank assessment of the characteristics they observe you displaying when under pressure.
Ask them to look at the list “Characteristics Others Will Tend To See When I Am Under Pressure” and identify the items they see most frequently. Then ask them to identify any items they do not often or ever see you display. Consider the impact these characteristics may have on your relationships with others.
