Dimensions of Behavior

The dimensions of behavior produce more than a dozen models of behavioral differences, and usually these models are being grouped into four different styles or categories: (1) the dominance style; (2) the interactive style; (3) the steadiness style; and (4) the cautious style (Alvarez, year, p. 5).
Based on the profile that is being reflected in the paper ‘The DISC Platinum Rule Behavioral Style Assessment’ of Mario Alvarez, wherein the four behavioral styles or categories are being mentioned, it is apparent that I belong to The Cautious Style, which represent people who are “analytical,… systematic… [and] enjoys problem solving” (Alvarez, year, p. 6). I am detail-oriented, task-oriented, and enjoy perfecting processes, as they reflect the strengths of the personality that I have.
I work at a slower pace and usually double-check my work. I am a good listener and usually ask a lot of questions. For the weaknesses, I tend to become uncomfortable around people who are very out-going or those who are in The Interactive Style. I also tend to see the more serious and complex side of situations, and I have high expectations of myself and others, making me a more over-critical person, especially when deciding and seeing things about myself or others.

I am a slow and deliberate decision-maker and I am always skeptical. Some of these strengths and weaknesses have been identified in the assessment, which reveals the main reason why I agree with the assessment being made. Having a behavioral style that is analytical, systematic, detail-oriented, and task-oriented, my effect on the team lies on the fact that I am critical and systematic in solving problems and in making decisions (at a slower pace), which helps the team by providing a logical explanation of the things at hand.
However, I am not always close to people, and with high expectations of others, I tend to have difficulty in negotiating with my team mates, especially that I see only the smaller scale of the whole picture and not the entirety of the picture. I am only good when it comes to analyzing processes and not when inspiring people to do their duties.
