ABOUT YOU
Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong way to be. These paragraphs describe how you likely show
up in your natural style.

Sarah tends to build a close relationship with a relatively small group of associates.
Others see her as a good neighbor, since she is always willing to help those she considers to
be her friends. At times, Sarah would like to slow the world down and cut out some of the
activities people want her involved in. She wants to be seen as a responsible person and will
avoid behavior that could be seen by others as irresponsible. Sarah may not project a sense
of urgency like some people with different behavioral styles. Outwardly, she may appear to be
totally accepting of others. She may, however, have deep convictions that are not apparent to
others. She needs time for some study and analysis, particularly when doing new or
challenging assignments. This allows her to adjust to the changing environment. She doesn't
resist change as much as she resists being changed. She needs to be an active participant in
situations that will impact her work. When the time is right, Sarah can stand up aggressively
for what she believes. She likes a consistent pace in her life, not too fast and not too slow.

Sarah tends to make decisions based on past experiences. She prefers the "tried and
true." She finds making decisions easier when she knows that others she respects are doing
the same thing; she then has a feeling of stability and "family." She needs to gather data and
facts in a logical fashion. She may tend to fight for her beliefs or those things she feels
passionate about. Sarah prefers to take time to analyze situations that can be felt, touched,
seen, heard, personally observed or experienced. She may want to think over major decisions
before acting. She must be convinced that actions will produce the desired result. When
faced with a tough decision, she will seek information and analyze it thoroughly. Once she has
arrived at a decision, she can be tough-minded and unbending. She has made her decision
after gathering much data, and she probably won't want to repeat the process.

Sarah likes to know what is expected of her in a working relationship and have the duties
and responsibilities of others who will be involved explained. Communication is accomplished
best by well-defined avenues. Sometimes she will withdraw from a verbal battle. If she feels
strongly about an issue, she may retreat to gather her resources and then return to take a
stand! Most people see her as being a considerate and modest person. She probably won't
try to steal the spotlight from others. She is somewhat reserved with those she doesn't trust or
know. After trust has been established, she may be open and candid. Sarah usually is
considerate, compassionate and accepting of others; however, on some occasions can
become stubborn. Stubbornness surfaces when her ideals and beliefs are confronted. She
likes having others initiate the conversation. She can then assess the situation and respond
accordingly. She does not enjoy confrontation for confrontation's sake. She feels she can win
through patience and resolve. She is not easily triggered or explosive, but she may conceal
some grievances because she doesn't always state her feelings.

DISC REFERENCE GUIDE

Find your DISC Graph on the Indigo summary page: Take note of scores furthest away from 50 on the DISC
graph (high or low). These are the behaviors that will stand out most for you. Reference "stand-out" scores
below. Various combinations of stand-out DISC factors will influence communication styles and environmental
needs. For example, a High D, Low C will need a fast-paced, results-oriented environment with lots of freedom.
However, a High D, High C will need an environment where results can be achieved through structure, quality,
and attention to detail. If all scores are near the middle , you are likely adaptable to many environments.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU


Motivators are like an engine beneath the hood of a car. Motivators aren't easily seen from the outside but they
are what power you. This is important to your college and career choice because motivators correlate directly to
fulfillment and meaning. Most people are happiest selecting a major and career based on their top two
motivators.

Theoretical Mainstream

Social Mainstream

Utilitarian Mainstream

Individualistic Mainstream

Aesthetic Mainstream

Traditional Mainstream

- 68 percent of the population - national mean - your score Mainstream - one standard deviation of the national mean
Passionate - two standard deviations above the national mean
Indifferent - two standard deviations below the national mean
Extreme - three standard deviations from the national mean

MOTIVATOR REFERENCE GUIDE

Find your motivators on the Indigo summary page: Connecting with the top two motivators are most
important. A secondary motivator supports the first motivator; for example, a "Social/Theoretical" will use
knowledge to help people. But a Social/Utilitarian will want to help people in an efficient and results-oriented
way. A Social/Individualistic wants to help in their own way. NOTE: The third motivator might be important as
well, especially if it is above the Adult Mean. And the last motivator may be important to avoid!

LIKELY TIME WASTERS


This section is designed to identify potential distractions that could impact your effectiveness and use of time.
Possible causes and solutions outlined can serve as a basis for creating an effective plan for increasing your
overall performance.

1. Failure To Anticipate
Failure to anticipate is the lack of focusing on possible outcomes or requirements.

Possible Causes:
Expect only the best to happen
Expect everyone else to do their best
Trust the system to run well
Focus on the here and now rather than the future
Resist change

Possible Solutions:
Set aside a specific amount of time each day to consider outcome possibilities
Talk with others who may have prior experience with a specific task or person

2. Failure To Share Information


The failure to share information is the inability or unwillingness to discuss with others.

Possible Causes:
Don't think others want to know the information
Unclear of the way the information will be used/received
Wait until asked before sharing information

Possible Solutions:
Let others know that they need to ask for information
Share with those whose opinions you trust

3. Failure To Clarify Precise Responsibilities With Manager


The failure to clarify precise responsibilities with your manager assumes that you have a full understanding
of his/her expectations. It infers that your manager understands your job and concurs with your assessment
of requirements.

Possible Causes:
Unsure of how you will be perceived
Don't want to overstep authority
Want to be a team player
Want to help everyone so you don't object to the manager when requests are being made that are not
your responsibility

Possible Solutions:
Have informal conversations with the manager about his/her expectations
Share with manager your expectations
Clarify with peers and other managers your duties and responsibilities
Read and discuss articles on "management by objectives"

LIKELY TIME WASTERS

4. Habits
A habit is a specific thought, behavior or way of doing something that was acquired by repetition or by
reinforcement from self and/or others.

Possible Causes:
Have established routines that are comfortable
Routine creates a feeling of security
Resist change for change's sake
Have been praised repeatedly for a specific behavior

Possible Solutions:
Evaluate habits and decide which contribute to your accomplishments and which deter you from success
Try new ways of performing a certain task
Ask others for recommendations on different approaches
Consciously practice changing your routine

5. Postpone The Unpleasant


Postponing the unpleasant is similar to procrastinating but is usually a continual reprioritizing of daily tasks.
It is often a way to delay something that is not enjoyable.

Possible Causes:
Like low-conflict environments and relationships
Want to feel the success of accomplishment so the simple tasks are done first

Possible Solutions:
Change your routine and, for one week, do the unpleasant tasks first
See the accomplishment of unpleasant tasks as an equal or even greater achievement of success
Reward yourself for every unpleasant task that you complete without postponing
Confront those people who are causing you discomfort and discuss the problems
