Peeking into Mr Dominance

I am a dictator, that’s what. Under the hood of the nice demeanor, you find a raging monster. Mwahahahaha! It was an awfully long time since I last took this psychological test, but here’s my results when I took the test back in 2003, while I was still in JC:

You are a Pioneer!

Outstanding Traits

People see you as an aggressive, factual, impatient, systematic person. You respond quickly to a challenge with mobility and flexibility. You are a versatile self-starter who responds rapidly to competition. You try to avoid unnecessary risk or trouble. You are sensitive to nuances and tend to look for hidden meanings. Generally, you need confirmation of the correctness of your action or decision, but in a crucial situation you will tend to go with your intuition. You are logical, critical, and incisive in your approach to attaining goals. You are challenged by problems requiring original and analytical effort.

Basic Desires and Internal Drive

Basically you are apt to be a perfectionist, and you have an equal striving for accomplishment and quality. You are not satisfied with just any answer; you want the best answer. In your daily activities, you see a need to resolve your perfectionism on the side of practical action. You are quickly decisive on routine matters; on major issues, you weigh all pros and cons very carefully. You prefer an ever-changing environment — the unusual and different. You want to find the answers for yourself. You want authority and important assignments; advancement and challenge are important to you.

Need for Possible Improvement

You may have some difficulties with people — for under pressure you can be cool and blunt. You can be critical and fault finding when your standards are not met. You can become impatient and dissatisfied if you feel your life is becoming routine. Under stress you may seem to waver and appear indecisive when you encounter a conflict between the need to consider the big picture and at the same time attend to details.

How to Encourage and Manage

You work best with direct, straightforward associates with whom you can “level” and negotiate commitments on a basis of equality. You should be given difficult assignments that will challenge and extend you. You need to be aware of — and try to soften — your sometimes too-strong impact on people.

The Pioneer of the Dark Side…

I sometimes wonder whether I’m just a monster wearing a little Bo-Beep mask :)

When we did this test in class, I remembered that only 3 other of my classmates were in the Dominance side of the DISC representation graph (Influence, Steadiness and Compliance were the other three), so we were pretty much in the rarefied atmosphere.

At any rate, I remembered that the description was very fitting; in fact, I dare go as far as to say that it described me to a tee. If this website is any indicator, not many people have a personal website with their own domain names, so the same old still powers my engine. So do you feel any difference between the pkchukiss of 2003, and the pkchukiss of 2007?
