bad news. i still haven upload my photos in taiwan…

good news. i think i’m adapting well to my work environment, so far so good. nice colleagues, lots of activities/events to attend, many things to learn… still got sports day. LOL. Next time must train for vertical challenge liao.

Anyway, i had this teambuilding workshop yesterday at labrador park. staffs from various sections of a department going for ‘amazing race’, running around the park looking for clues/answers etc. I ran around with my teammates and since i’m a newbie, i thought its better if i don’t comment too much. most of the time, i’m running around for the sake of running together XD. i still remember this moment when we were looking for labrador battery (a place in the park). I asked an uncle who was resting… “uncle, do you know where is labrador battery?” uncle replied excitedly:”OH!! THERE *point point* THERE GOT PROVISION SHOP!” o.O “….thank you…uncle…” heee..

okay, that aside. main point. I did this DISC profiling test again during this teambuilding workshop. The previous time i did that was when i was still in sec sch. I was a ‘I’ person. Now, i’m a ‘S’ person. Anyway, D = dominance, direct, decisive. I = Influencing, interactive, interested in people. S = Steady, stable, secure. C = correct, controlled, compliant. There were 3 graphs to be plotted and the trainer will analyze it if you request them to. I didn’t.

However, the book has an interpretation for it. According to my graph 3 (mirror, perceived self), im an advocate/agent/one who makes peace. It says:” Individuals who are Avocades are steady, sociable individuals who strive for positive relationships at work and at home. They can tend toward individualism and independence if ‘I’ is their secondary characteristic. Once they have made up their mind, it can be quite difficult to change the mind of an Advocate. They like people to support them and their ideas; they tend to support the underdog. They may take opposing sides of a disagreement and leave feeling frustrated if things don’t go their way. Advocates need to be accepted as part of a team. Decisions can be difficult for them to make unless their boundaries are very clearly defined.

Advocates tend to be moderate, thorough, and dependable people. They are often willing to intercede for another on their behalf. They have a strong sense of justice and loyalty. This style is known for their common sense. They always try to think through both sides of an issue. Advocates also tend to be great peace makers, since they see many different viewpoints to an issue; and their peacemaking will focus on the people involved, not just the issue. Since Advocates are relational, they are very sensitive to the feelings of others.”

True?
