Too bizarre.

Mr. Whitson…are you simply looking for an assistant to help you with your work? It really is hard to tell….what kind of work is it? Are there benefits to the job?…the “test” that you allude to in your above post looks like an ad to sell something. Is it a paid position? Part time? Full time? Hours? Could you be a bit more specific?

Thank you JanS. I guess you can see why I need an Assistant! The Job is Part-time 20-30 hours now till we grow. $15.00 per hour the first 30-90 days, while in training, then $20.00 per hour. Hours are around 11-4. The test is a hurdle in my quest to find a talented person who can grow with the company. This is myt 20th company and I have retired 3 times. I love what I do.

Hey, I took the DISC test just for fun. Turns out I’m “Dominant, Inspiring, and Cautious,” as well as:

•Directive,

•Quick-witted,

•Results-oriented, and

•Fast-paced

YAY me!

On the negative side, does that mean I’m also pushy, hyper, and a wise-acre? Actually, the results are pretty accurate.

Jeannie…I just took it out of curiosity…my results:

You have a blend of both Cautious and Supportive traits. Your Cautious traits are probably a little stronger than your Supportive traits.

Some words that describe you are:

Critical thinking,

Careful,

Committed to quality, and

Helpful.

You are reserved, and you probably prefer individual or small group interaction to large social settings. You probably like to work alone or with one or two other people on projects and tasks using proven practices and focused on quality.

Interesting….I am self employed, and work alone, except I do work with one client at a time….

Some words that describe you are:

Helpful,

Kind,

Logical, and

Methodical.

You are more reserved than outgoing, and you probably prefer interacting with people one-on-one or in small groups rather than large crowds. You probably like to do things following a known or proven pattern.

Yep! :-)

Well, JanS, I guess we’re both somewhat cautious! Indeed, skydiving and backcountry skiing are not for me ;-)

But we’re both inquisitive – as in curious enough to take this surprisingly accurate test!

I can never resist a worthless generalized personality test designed to entrap you – some how, some way.

So I took it too even though I would never apply for a job with someone who employed this POS as an employee evaluation tool. (designed to extract extra fees for a more ‘in depth’ report) ;-/

While I am berating this *test* I would like to quote a phrase from one of the very well structured questions, “When I am at an event with many people I have not yet met present”

(say what??)

Anyway, my illustrious result is:

“S/DC. That’s fantastic!”

(sigh of relief here that I am so fantastic)

As an official S/DC I am –

– You have a blend of Supportive, Cautious, and Dominant traits. Your Supportive traits are probably a little stronger than your Cautious or Dominant traits.

Some words that describe you are:

Helpful,

Kind,

Results-oriented, and

Careful

You have both people-oriented and task-oriented traits, although you may tend a little towards a task-oriented perspective. You can either be reserved or outgoing. You probably like to get things done in a way that protects other people’s feelings. It is likely that you are supportive and careful, but you can get moving and make things happen if necessary.

Dammit, I rule!

P.S. It’s 3:00 in the morning and SPD has rocketed by here at least 9 times in every direction, couple of times with their search lights on. Wonder what’s going on?

Per your PS, Transp – depends on where you are – I was on until 4 and there were a few things happening but nothing massive. For example, somebody crashed a car at the east end of Roxbury and then the driver walked away, eventually caught (per scanner) in South Park. There also was some concern over a guy at the Roxhill Park bus stop, and later a guy reported to be yelling at passing cars near the Junction QFC.

Lowman Beach area. But summer nights here are always action packed.

Hmmmmm….I’m balanced between dominant, inspiring, and cautious — the description fits and I tried very hard not to try to game the system.

WRT to using this test as part of the pre-interview process, I can’t imagine NOT using it. If Whitson has a tool he wants to sell, one would hope he believes in it …. and if he does, why wouldn’t he use it. (Note the careful avoidance of honorifics, to avoid deciding between Dr. and Mr. a journalism school trick that is still useful.)

Since the only thing missing from my profile is supportiveness, I won’t be applying for the job :-)
