This document humorously describes characteristics of people with a high "D" personality type on the DiSC assessment. It lists behaviors that would indicate one's D is too high, such as arriving at work and immediately making others stop chatting, taking over a wedding because it's moving too slowly, and shutting down one's mother after 10 minutes of talking to get just the facts. The document aims to poke fun at the direct, results-oriented, and controlling nature sometimes associated with high D personalities.

2. The Humorous Side to DiSC
• Many of us have completed a DiSC Profile
for works, teams, relationship, leadership etc.
• DiSC doesn’t measure sense of humour
• Let’s take a minute to poke some fun, or take a light
hearted look at ourselves
• Let’s start with the high D’s
• They are known for wanting results, relishing challenges,
wanting choices, being in control and being blunt and
assertive
• But sometimes your greate4st strength is your biggest
weakness!
• Enjoy…

3. The High D – The Humorous Side
You know your ‘D’ is too high when……
• You arrive at work at 8.00am Monday and by 8.03 no one is
talking to you.
• You take someone else's bat and ball and go home
• You are honoured as ‘Trouble Maker of the Year’
by an underground terrorist organisation.
• You start reminiscing about the good old days
when a gun could be used to settle an argument.
• You think Gordon Ramsey is soft and wimpy.
• You feel the urge to direct traffic on the free way
at peek hour to get things moving.
• You get impatient waiting for the golf group ahead and decide
to drive your ball up the fairway, through them!

4. The High D – The Humorous Side
You know your ‘D’ is too high when……
• You go to work and scowl at people who chit chat.
• You’re playing golf and you decide to walk over the water
hazard rather than around it for a change of pace.
• You give your boss orders!
• You go along to a wedding as a guest and end up
taking over because it’s taking too long.
• You buy and watch the end disc of a DVD series
and work back
• You call your mum and after she talks for 10 minutes
you shut her down and is everything OK. You don’t want all
the waffle, just the facts.
