DISC Personality is a personality test about the four types of people’s characteristics and how they work in 4 groups: D (Dominance), I (Influence), S (Steadiness), and C (Compliance). It is compared to all four animals or four-directional animals: bull, eagle, rat, and bear. The fact that we know ourselves from animals in four directions will help us understand our strengths and weaknesses, and also to know more about the identity of people around us.
Keyword: Highly confident/ Decisive/ Unlikely to be in the frame

Working with the Bear: You should clearly explain the reasons for the assignment, and take into account the accuracy, precision of what they expect, and quality standards.
