I went on a leadership retreat this weekend. As part of the training, we took a personality test. I like those kinds of tests... mostly because it is impossible to fail them. This one happened to be the DISC model, which breaks down personality types into four categories:
So anyway... It was no big surprise to me (or my wife) that I ranked pretty high in the "C" category, with some elements of "D." Here's the wikipedia description of the "C" personality: "People with high 'C' styles adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do quality work and do it right the first time. High 'C' people are careful, cautious, exacting, neat, systematic, diplomatic, accurate, and tactful."
Basically, we "C's" are busy beavers -- hard workers that like systems and organization. In addition, "D's" are leaders that like to organize others.
Does that combination remind you of a certain website?
I had to laugh a little bit... because SignUpGenius is basically a website designed specifically for "C" and "D" personalities. All our sign up creators are people that organize, plan, and lead!
I guess this explains why I always get along so fabulously with our users. Lions and Beavers of the world unite! Drop me a note if you're a "C" or "D" too!
