I want to emphasize that when I say "key to Real Estate Agent success" I actually refer to all professionals - salesperson engaged in interacting with consumers.
Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment.
A person's behavior is a necessary and integral part of who they are. In other words, much of our behavior comes from "nature" (inherent), and much comes from "nurture" (our upbringing). It is the universal language of "how we act," or our observable human behavior.
It is a small step to learn to adapt your behavior to achieve better relationships, avoid, prevent and resolve conflicts.
- 1. On your personal level using our own power of judgment and gut instinct.
- 2. On the professional level, the method used by top corporations, top Real Estate organizations, and successful salespeople is to use the researched, tested, and proven methods of a DISC assessment.
Above image is a DISC test result (a real saleperson's chart) showing how this is done. DISC (Dominant-Influence-Stable-Conform) is an abbreviation for the four basic personality styles.
- The "D" of DISC is a Dominant person, results oriented style, quick to anger, and eager to fight back in conflict. High "D's" are often quite successful but not always nice people.
- The "I" of DISC is an Influential relationship oriented person, friendly and optimistic who wants to move away from conflict. High "I's" are fun but sometimes you question their sincerity.
- The "S" is a Stable Steady trust oriented person, emotionally more passive, yet strong and tolerant of conflict. High "S's" are the strongest team members and excellent negotiators but they are not easily forthcoming with their thoughts and feelings.
- The "C" in DISC is the Conforming process oriented person, prone to fear and worry, watching for conflict and avoiding it. High "C's" alert you to the potential dangers and drawbacks of your plans. They are excellent at implementation. However, they can appear pessimistic.
How DISC correlates to buyers and sellers of real estate? The question often asked is whether one style or another is more likely to be successful as a Real Estate Agent.
Now this looks like a Horoscope chart... as complex and fascinating... but DISC is a scientific analyses of your character, personality, traces: CONDUCTOR, PERSUADER, PROMOTER, RELATER, SUPPORTER, COORDINATOR, ANALYZER, IMPLEMENTER.
Examole:
- Statistically High Dominant "D" and High Influential "I" styles are higher performers in a sales environment including Real Estate.
- However Stable Steady "S" styles are the strongest negotiators. And some of the most successful mega company owners are very high Conforming "C" style.
***************************
This report is measuring four dimensions of normal behavior, analyzes behavioral style; that is, a person's manner of doing things...
They are:
-
how you respond to problems and challenges.
-
how you influence others to your point of view.
-
how you respond to the pace of the environment.
-

Arina, I'm glad you posted a link, I'd love to get more in depth with this...it's facinating and I've never heard of it before. Thank you for sharing it.
Great information, I'm going to read more on this
Have A Great Day
Arina:
I just completed a DISC assessment. High I - S was the result. Have you completed your DISC assessment? What were the findings?
Arina - I always find these assessments interesting and very helpful in understanding myself as well as my clients.
Arina, I am a high D and high I so have been in sales a long time. I must tilt more with the I because I am "not" quick to anger but I do like results. It is interesting to better understand the behaviors that you exhibit and know your own personality and that of others.
Arina - The DISC is a great tool. I used it in another arena when I took my leadership team out for a weekend of team-building. We actually had some conflict we had to resolve and felt this tool would give us a better understanding of each other. It helped. We became a much more effective team. (Although, it probably helped that I replaced some of the members later.)
I make a guess here;
Your Renee friend should probably be "D" personality... and you probably are "C"... JUST KIDDING -:)
Anyway don't let her bather!
Carole, I am sure you find this interesting... in some way is just like the horoscope chart. you feed in the info and get the chart. If you put in the correct info. you get a correct mathematical chart with interpretation.
DORIS, You're welcome and thank you for coming by... more people in real estate industry are using that evaluation... Seems to be working!

Gary, It is so true that we need an extra impartial eye to define our deep qualities and faults. It is a good tool to get to understand our personality and in rapport to our business better.
Kevin , I see here the direct impact on how using this tool could clarify our position and resolve conflicts... Thank you for sharing that experience,
Barbu, Thank you for the comment...but! please don't make the situation worst...I agree we should take this test to understand each other better.
I have taken an assessment, really do not remember what my profile is. Has anyone had experiences putting the program to work in the field either with clients or with fellow workers? I would like to read some success or failure stories about efforts to implement this.
Richard, You go read a comment above by Kevin McGourty
