July 7 - Dr. Anthony Headley - Personality Inventories
Dr. Anthony Headley helped interpret two personality inventories that we took. One was the DISC profile. According to the official website, the inventory is ... "a nonjudgmental tool for understanding behavioral types and personality styles. It helps people explore behavior across four primary dimensions:
Dominance: Direct, Driving, Decisive. These people tend to be independent and results driven. They are strong-willed people who enjoy challenges, taking action, and immediate results. The bottom line is their focus tends to be on the bottom line and results.
Influence: Optimistic & Outgoing. These individuals tend to be very social and out going. They prefer participating on teams, sharing thoughts, and entertaining and energizing others.
Steadiness: Sympathetic & Cooperative. These people tend to be your team players and are supportive and helpful to others. They prefer being behind the scene, working in consistent and predictable ways. They are often good listeners and avoid change and conflict
Conscientiousness: Concerned, Cautious & Correct. These people are often focused on details and quality. They plan ahead, constantly check for accuracy, and what to know "how" and "why"."
I was a "D.I." -- a person who is more about "Dominance" and "Influence" than they are "Steadiness" and "Conscientiousness." Does this surprise anyone?
Also, there are 18 general paterns in this inventory, I was the "inspirational" pattern. I think that means that I respond to inspiritional kinds of leaders. These patterns are also indicators to supervisors about how to manage an individual. Take it with a grain of salt, but it seems helpful to many people. Apparently each pastor in the Western North Carolina Conference has taken it to the Bishop better connects the gifts of the pastor with the gifts of a given church.
Looking forward to the weekend now. Becca is doing well, just a little headache. We don't drive heardly at all. We walk nearly everywhere, except when we are going to a Mall or major shopping area. We've really enjoyed having Becca's parents here. They are heading back to Florida this morning.
Wilmore is peaceful, a place of great blessing, even reflection, without being hokey and monkish. Know what I mean?
Grace and peace,
Trav Wilson
