The strong D’s needs-driven behaviors are results and achievement(remember those below-the water-line influences?)
Is this sounding like you? Read on...
As a strong D these are your likely tendencies...
· You have a high ego-strength, strong
self-confidence
Strong force of
character and belief in yourself
Know who you are, what you’re
about and where you’re going
Aggressive, often with
assertive body language (take someone by the arm and walk with them while you
talk)
· You are results oriented
Like direct answers
Like freedom from rules
Are a risk-taker
Desire change – often
make it happen just to enjoy whatever is new!
· You are competitive
Want to win
Thrive on challenge and problems to be solved
Bottom liner, you may
not be a good listener
Take action immediately
Do everything quickly
Are you a D? Keep in mind that you may be different at home than you are in a business setting - I've seen that many times.
Also keep in mind: your predominant behavior tendencies can change based on a situation. For instance...
My D became much higher as a branch manager because of my responsibility for business results and as an entrepreneur, it's very high. Still responsible for business results!

My Very Important Note: Discovering your behavioral style is
intended to help you understand more about your impact on and relationships
with others and how you can use that information to improve or create strong
and effective relationships – in your personal or professional world.

Getting to Know Yourself…and Others™ -
A Self-Study Program in Building Stronger Relationships
Understanding the styles
of DiSC® is NOT an opportunity to stereotype and refer to someone as a “D” (or
i, S or C). We all have some of each style within our range of behaviors so
it’s unfair and possibility offensive to call someone by their primary style
indicator. And remember that DiSC® is focusing on a particular role in your
life – circumstances and situations may cause a change in that role and a
change in behaviors. So can styles change? YES! No stereotyping or labeling
allowed.
