Now there are other types of folks that are socially persuasive but not dominant – they tend to be influential or try to influence others in a social, persuasive, friendly manner. These people are known to be energetic, busy, optimistic, imaginative, and have an insatiable attraction to what is new and futuristic. The “high I” likes to talk and is expressive.

So what’s the best way to interact with a person like this? Well that depends on your style but in general I would agree with the inset from www.changingminds.org

Remember that people are complex – including yourself. One letter is not enough to describe anyone. Nor is it likely that any one tool is going to reveal all a persons intricacies. In fact the DiSC profile that I use regularly as I coach people has 256 unique profiles and many more nuances based on trait pairs and the amplitude of each trait.

Anyway, these types of tools help us get along with others. Hope this Coaching moment helps you. More to come tomorrow.
