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.

Jamie wants to be seen as a responsible person and will avoid behavior that could be seen
by others as irresponsible. Following procedures is her way of ensuring quality and orderly
work. Jamie can be depended upon to follow set procedures of work activity. She can
overanalyze a problem which tends to slow down the decision-making process. She has a
need to achieve in an environment in which the quality is controlled. She can become
frustrated when put in a situation that is nothing more than a rambling discussion. Jamie wants
to know the company rules so she can follow them, and she may become upset when others
continually break the rules. She wants the safety features on her equipment to be in good
working order. Rules and procedures provide security for her job performance. Jamie can
devote all her energy to the job, and that offers security to her work situation. Because of high
expectations of her own job performance, Jamie may sometimes feel that other workers cannot
perform up to her standards. Jamie likes to work behind the scene and be seen as someone
who is organized and has her life in order. Some people see her as being fussy and
meticulous. She takes much pride in precise and accurate work, but others may not always
understand her attention to details.

Jamie likes to assemble facts and data before making decisions. This allows her time to
review the facts and think about the decision to be made. She follows company policy, if
aware of it. She is the type of person who will accept challenges and accept them seriously.
She is a critical and systematic thinker, and this strength may not be easily recognized by
others. Jamie feels tension when forced to make major decisions quickly. She sees herself as
factual and "down-to-earth." She is more than casually interested in "theory." When
confronted with a problem, she will look for a method, a formula, a procedure or a system to
solve it. She tends to make her decisions after deliberation and gives weight to all the pros
and cons. She can be seen as a thinker whose intuitive talents can bring divergent ideas to
the forefront.

Jamie does not like to work for a manager who uses a confrontational management style.
She tends to withdraw and not express herself and may become unproductive if she feels
threatened. People may often see Jamie as formal and reserved. She may be assessing the
situation before "letting her guard down" and may do so only when she feels comfortable with
the circumstances. She does not seek confrontation; but if she is confronted, she will present
her case with enough supportive data that she will probably win. People who show up early or
late for appointments may upset her, since her work plans are disrupted. Jamie makes an
agenda and prefers that others not change it. Jamie is intuitive and is able to ask good
questions in order to get the critical, complete information she seeks. She enjoys analyzing
the motives of others. This allows her to develop her intuitive skills. She likes to ask questions
to clarify the communications. She gathers data in order to be certain she is correct in her
work, communications or decision making. Whenever possible, Jamie avoids face-to-face
conflict.

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.

Aesthetic Mainstream

Individualistic Mainstream

Utilitarian Mainstream

Social Mainstream

Traditional Mainstream

Theoretical Indifferent

- 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!

Have high standards for work performance
Think that your way is the correct way
Don't see the benefit of doing things differently

Possible Solutions:
Practice listening without evaluating comments from others
Begin responding mentally with "that's interesting" or "that's a possibility" as a way of controlling
immediate negative response
Communicate feelings with peers and supervisors

2. Seeking The Best, But Not Necessarily Workable Solutions


Always seeking the best solution may prohibit getting the task accomplished. Something better is always on
the horizon.

Possible Causes:
Want to do things right the first time
Want personal approval for preciseness of work
Fear criticism if solution doesn't work

Possible Solutions:
Establish required standards
Determine the solution that meets or exceeds those standards
Set a timeline for making a decision or completing a task

3. Waiting For Events To Happen


Although patience may be a virtue, being pro-active allows the decision-maker to be in better control of
events within their scope of influence.

Possible Causes:
Want to affect the here and now
Fear rushing into something will show unpreparedness
Need for high standards inhibits getting started

Possible Solutions:
Plan alternative solutions
Determine most likely scenarios
Implement a plan that best meets those needs without jeopardizing other scenarios

potential negative impact on you and your work.

Possible Causes:
Critical listening ability may cause you to read more into a situation
Want to look beyond the obvious
Have a need for additional information
Do not have a high level of trust in others

Possible Solutions:
Ask questions
Share initial evaluation/opinion with others

5. Seeking "All" of The Facts


Seeking "all" of the facts is thought and action of continually gathering new information and re-evaluating
current information.

Possible Causes:
Want to be certain/prepared
Want to avoid mistakes
Want extended time for getting tasks done

Possible Solutions:
Set a timeline for gathering new information or evaluating old information and then take action
Evaluate importance or risk factors to how much information is actually needed
