Description
Throughout history, people have been fascinated by the differences in personality among us. From Hippocrates to Carl Jung, William Marston, and many others, there has been an ongoing effort to decipher human behaviors, leading to the conclusion that three fundamental elements define our personality: heredity, environment and role models. Genetic traits do not entirely define our personality. There are aspects we can control. The DISC model is a method of personality assessment used to decipher the behavior and communication styles of individuals, whether in a professional or personal setting. Considering people's preference for tasks or relationships, as well as extroversion or introversion, this model identifies four basic behavioral styles. It has been applied the DISC technique to analyze a group of students from the Faculty of Engineering from "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, Romania. The results indicated the following distribution: 56.5% of the students have a Dominant profile, 26.1% are Influential, 8.7% are Conscientious, and 8.7% are Steady. These data offer valuable insight into the group's dynamics and how each DISC profile contributes to forming an effective team. To maximize teaching and learning efficiency, it is essential to adapt teaching methods to the various DISC profiles present in the classroom.
