Answer the following questions. You may copy and paste information from your ManagerDISC report, however, make sure that the information is organized and understandable. After you copy and paste the appropriate information, consider the accuracy of the results. Do you agree or disagree with a few, some, or all of the information listed? Explain.

WHAT ARE YOUR GENERAL BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS? (Page 6)
You tend to make decisions slowly and carefully, only after consideration of all variables and inputs.

I do show up late to other things such as appointments. I also don’t usually care when people are late as long as it isn’t an excessive amount of time (20 minutes or more). I definitely like things to remain objective, not only when judging people. I rather deal in facts and avoid opinionated viewpoints. I also prefer having tasks presented to me in a straightforward way so I know exactly what I need to do. I almost always hide my emotions and ideas when it comes to
