Finding Your Fit


Hey! :)


Last Saturday, we had an awesome time at ZC! :)
Our guest speaker, Pastor Soo Seng Fei shared an interesting message on Finding Your Fit, as well as took us through the four personality types, DISC.

DISC is an acronym for:

Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Conscientious

All of us are made up of all four personality types, but in different intensities.


Here are some of the characteristics of the different personalities.



Dominance


If you are a D personality type, you are concerned about RESULTS..

  • You enjoy solving problems, getting things done, and achieving goals.
  • You want to be in charge. (You dislike being told what to do.
  • You set high standards for performance (your own and other people's).
  • You trust your ability to produce results.
  • You enjoy challenges and competition.
  • You are willing to take risks, challenge the status quo, and break the rules.
  • You make decisions quickly.
  • You are impatient with people who "waste time" by talking or planning, who you think are incompetent, or who resist change.
  • You don't mind telling people they're wrong. You value "telling it like it is." You can be blunt.
