The IML DISC insights™ Report from the Personality System™
(I). Introduction:
The DISC system of assessing personality characteristics is based upon the work of Dr. William Marston, one of the foremost psychologists of the twentieth century. Dr. Marston extensively studied the characteristics, patterns and responses of thousands of individuals; and wrote The Emotions of Normal People as a result of his efforts.
Scores of individuals have built upon the works of Dr. Marston over the last half-century. Of these, one of the foremost is Dr. Sanford Kulkin, Founder and President of the Institute for Motivational Living. Dr. Kulkin has invested a quarter century into the development of strategic applications for DISC materials for use in both business and interpersonal relationships, and simplifying the DISC materials so as to put their power into anyone's hands. Understanding human behavior and identifying patterns and preferences has given our DISC consultants insight into successful strategies. Consultants and trainers from the Institute frequently travel to client sites both in the United States and abroad. The Institute has developed and published several copyrighted psychometric materials that have been successfully used to develop and train a vast range of individuals in relationship and educational skills.
The DISCinsights™ software from which reports are created represents the cutting edge in the interpretation of individual responses to the DISC profile. This report is generated from your responses to the 24 question Communication & Insights Analysis. It provides for the greatest depth of analysis of individual responses to the DISC profile instrument, leading to the most accurate, in-depth conclusions available. However, it is important to understand that these results are based upon the responses entered by the subject, and is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information in regard to the subject matter. It is distributed with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in rendering professional psychological services. If expert assistance is required, the advice of a professional, competent person should be sought.
One of the key features that you will notice in your personal profile is three graphs. Each of these graphs is comparable to a snapshot of you. And yet each one provides a different image. They are all similar in that they each reflect "you" in a given moment of time; but different in the aspect of "you" they reflect. Your Personality System™ profile provides:
� Graph 1 … Mask or Public Self
Everyone wants to gain acceptance over the long term, so people typically adjust their behavior according to how they think other people expect them to behave. It is this chosen public behavior that Graph 1 is illustrating. This behavior is your "public self", the person you choose to project to others.
� GRAPH 2 … Core or Private Self
Everyone has faced difficult and challenging situations in their life, situations that may have been dominated by fear, stress or pressure. As we have faced these situations, each of us has learned responses that were designed to minimize those negative feelings and eliminate the unpleasant situation as quickly as possible.
We tend to fall back upon these instinctive responses to pressure, since we are comfortable with them as they represent our best efforts at eliminating unpleasant issues and situations.
� GRAPH 3 … Mirror or Perceived Self
Everyone envisions himself or herself in a particular way. We see ourselves as the "person in the mirror" and view ourselves in ways that no one else can. Only we know the depth and intensity of our strongest feelings. Graph 3 displays the mental picture that we have of ourselves.
Graph 3 provides the most genuine image of the individual taking The Personality System™ profile. This particular graph displays how an individual would tend to respond if left to select his or her own alternatives.
