Dominance, wouldn't change it for the world

My Results from the personal profile system diagnostic indicated that my primary profile is type D. My secondary type is a C. This test couldn’t have been more exact as to the person I am. I like things being done the way I want and when I know I’m right I do not budge for no one. I don’t mind working in groups but I preferable like working alone. I feel that when I’m working on my own I know that my task will be done to the best of MY ability. If I have to rely on someone else to do something I get very anxious and it just becomes a very uncomfortable situation for me. Being dominant is something that is a gift and a curse for me. In some situations it can help me out, but in others it can put me a very big predicament. I’m very happy that I’m a dominant person, but if I had to change I would decrease my dominance a bit and try to even out my conscientiousness, my steadiness, and my influence. If I could still be highly dominant but also a bit of everything else it would make for a very well rounded person.
I’m very sure that I can become the other types. To become a better person you have to make sacrifices and if that means I have to change my character well then so be it. At this age you are still molding yourself to be the person you want to be in 10 years. Is possible? Yes. Is it probable? No. I like who I am and who I am becoming. I may have my bad qualities but who doesn’t?
This test definitely would help me in personal interactions. I’m exactly the same person whether it is in a business relationship or a personal relationship. It would help out thought figuring out what someone else is and what type of person they are. I think it is helpful for management to use this test as a way to determine management types but only if it has been tested numerous times to make sure it is right. Using this could allow management to determine what type of person is needed for a certain job or what type of person you have already working for you. No matter what any tests tells you the best way to see the type of person someone is, is by interacting with them. Allowing for this interaction gives Allowing for this interaction gives you firsthand what a person is all about

i think this test nailed all of us. your definately a dominant person, this coming from someone who knows you. hahaha but you can also be a bit overbearing like you said, meaning your very stubborn and want things to go your way *making sure jake doesnt come in the room at dorney* ahem anyway i say forget everything else and keep the dominance, just try to integrate the others to become well rounded like you said...

You do show signs of the dominant trait indeed. Always very out-spoken in class and this can be seen in the class activities also the way you attempt to take charge and voice you opinions. It's a good trait to have it can work to your benefit in this life we live.

I agree with Will, the test nailed all of you guys. I have known you to not take crap from anybody and you are pretty set on getting things done your way. It is a really good thing that you know what you want and how to do it. I like having you in the group seeing as how you know what you want, and I don't really. I just like to enjoy myself, you three give the group order.

of course me, you and will would be the extreme. dominance. it does explain the three of us, but you more so. ever since freshman year, you've been the control type. i think if it was up to you, you would have taught the classes we had. its great that you're confident in what you want and how to accomplish it.. but sometimes you are stubborn =]

In regards to what Angel said all I can say is that I don't particularly like working in groups either. I have had both good and bad experiences with that. But happily not in this class - for the in class group assignments that we had to do.

From the way you are in class I can tell you are quite a dominant person. From many people's blogs, I can tell the test nailed it for msot. I agree with the working alone part. Relying on others to get something done puts me in a tense mode.
