Diving Deeper Into DISC

Dominance

The way a person chooses to respond to problems or challenges speaks about their dominant behavior. Dominance, as a DISC style, can often come off as angry, sometimes impatient, and commonly characterized by directness. Individuals who have dominant traits tend to be extroverted and task-oriented.
