DISC Assessment Description

DISC assessments are personality profiles developed from the answers to a series of questions. The profile will indicate the natural tendencies that you have toward dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness (DISC). A profile can be used to learn more about yourself interpret your interactions with others and help to build organizations and teams using the best people for each role.

    History

  1. The DISC theory was introduced in the book "Emotions of Normal People" written by psychologist William Moulton Marston. It was published in 1928. His ideas have been validated by research. Although Marston did not mention DISC after 1931, it is still used today by many businesses to profile prospective employees for specific roles within their organizations.
  2. Assessment

  3. A DISC assessment is a questionnaire that is prepared by a testing agency or organization. Questions will vary depending on the testing agency. Most questionnaires contain about 25 questions. The questions will make a statement and then ask you to select from four possible responses the one that is most like you and the one that is least like you. There are no wrong answers to the questionnaire since it is an inventory of your opinion about your responses to situations. Early assessments used a series of four words. Modern questions use phrases.
  4. Examples

  5. Older Style Example:
    Which is most like you? Daring, Enthusiastic, Demanding, Satisfied
    Which is least like you? Daring, Enthusiastic, Demanding, Satisfied

    Modern Style Example:
    Select the phrase most like you and least like you:
    Try to make everyone happy ( ) Most ( ) Least
    Ask others to help ( ) Most ( ) Least
    Tell others what to ( ) Most ( ) Least
    Do what is expected ( ) Most ( ) Least
  6. Profile

  7. The results of the completed questionnaires are tabulated to determine a number for each of the four personality traits of dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness. You can use the profile to learn more about how you interact with others and how others influence you. Higher and lower numbers are not indications of weakness or strength but rather an indication of your natural tendencies. Most DISC reports include a narrative description of the results that can provide insight in why you do things the way you do. Teams will often compare DISC profiles with each other so that members learn how best to interact with each other. Business has found that certain personality traits are needed to best perform particular functions. Daring leaders often have a high D rating while great team players often have a lower D rating. This could be significant when forming a team. A great team player might not be the best choice for leading the team
  8. Environment

  9. The environment that the questions are asked in may make a difference in the outcome. Some people are more dominant in a work environment and less so at home. Others might be strong influencers at home and less so in external groups. Some modern DISC assessments try to identify the specific environment by stating the phrases in terms of work, leisure and home life.
  10. Summary

  11. The DISC assessment has been used for many years and provides a method to examine your personality and reveal traits that may be hidden from you. By sharing your DISC profile with others you can help them to better understand how to interact with you.

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h...
