The ABCs of DISC

Before spring break we asked to take a personal profile exam to determine what type of personality we possess. It was slew of questions that I felt had nothing to do with ones personality, well some of them at least. At the end of it all, it determined that my personality was Dc which in the hand out means dominant conscientiousness. I agree that I am the conscientious type because I'm more of a diplomat and I take the time to weigh the consequences of my actions in a given situation. The only time I display the attributes of dominance is the when situations are bleak and other members of the team don't have a solution. I don't wish to be another personality type mainly because it's the best suited for managers and I hope that the exam is correct on its assumptions. Knowing people's personality type would help for situations in which you can assign tasks to different members of a team. Would I administer this test to my own organizations, yes. Because knowing ones personality would help in how I can approach my members.

A Dream Visualized

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

A quote I've seen long ago as a child visting Disney World a long time ago and have kept with me till this day. I've got a lot of dreams some more materialistic than others as similar to many other people in the world. Like to win the Mega Million or to have a million dollar investment idea but as obscene as these dreams or fantasies are, there are some that i do want to make come true. These dreams as you view them are longer dreams, but are life goals I've set for myself. Each goal has a certain time limit or age that i've set that should be accomplished. The first is to become a Marketing Coordinator after my current internship expires. The second is interconnected to the first and that is to be a Marketing Director in that same company by the age of 26. The Third is to have a Masters degree in Marketing, by the age of 28. The fourth, is to make my mother's dream of owning a chain of restaurants to go with the one we currently own now. The fifth, is to start a foundation that will provide aid to the Carribbean countries like my own by the age 45. These ambitions i feel seem to be feasible and i will continue to work on them with a full head of steam.
