* The Many Dimensions of the DISC - Creating More Results
by Sandy Karn
This is the beginning of a multi-part series of deeper understanding of the DISC, through
exploring its origin, its historical track amongst leaders such as Hippocrates, and how
they applied the DISC principles in many different applications in their personal, family,
and business lives. The DISC is a universal language that I'd like to explore with you
over the next several weeks.
We're all looking for a net-bottom line of more results. I believe we want to accomplish
what we want - in the least time possible. So, let's begin with when it all started.
Basically, it began with Hippocrates, the father of medicine - back in the 400's BC. He
had defined four temperament types of people. His definition of these four temperament
types were Melancholic, Choleric, Sanguine and Phlegmatic.
To him, Melancholic type people were moody, anxious, rigid, pessimistic, reserved,
unsociable, and quiet. It's another descriptor for the DISC's High C type person.
The Choleric type were restless, aggressive, touchy, excitable, changeable, impulsive,
optimistic and active. It's another descriptor for the DISC's High D type person.
The Sanguine type were sociable, outgoing, talkative, responsive, easy-going, lively,
carefree, and were leadership type people. It's another descriptor for the DISC's High I
type person.
The Phlegmatic type people were passive, careful, thoughtful, and peaceful, controlled,
reliable, even-tempered, and basically calm. It's another descriptor for the DISC's High S
type person.
He went further to put the Melancholic/C and Choleric/D in the category of the more
emotionally unstable, neurotic type people. He put the Sanguine/I and Phlegmatic/S type
in the more emotionally stable categories. We can also further describe them as follows:
Hippocrates was suggesting that the Choleric/D and Sanguine/I are the more extroverted
types, while the Melancholic/C and Phlegmatic/S are the more introverted types.
It's very interesting to me that someone, so long ago, defined so well, what we find to be
mostly true today in our relationships. Of course, we're much more sophisticated today in
our scientific approach to human behaviors through our self-science assessments.
Still, the behavioral information from yesteryear stands tall in helping us today to
communicate better and get more results in our personal, family and business careers. The
only difference is in the names in what we call it, but the principles are very much the
same. It works to help us accomplish more with fewer conflicts when we learn and follow
these principles in our everyday life.
The more we understand, pay attention to, and use these principles that are keys to better
communications and more results, the better we become at using these skills. My goal is
to share and teach, so that these principles become part of your every day, moment-to-
moment life. One great thing about it is - it works!
Wishing you the best in understanding the DISC principles, and
putting them to your best use,
