He has worked at the same company for the past 9 years and in the same position for the last 6 years. He consistently receives positive reviews on his performance evaluations, and he is regarded as professional and competent by both clients and colleagues. His coworkers see him as the \u201cgo-to guy\u201d for answers when they get stuck, and his manager enjoys the fact that she has to spend very little time supervising him. Despite his clear expertise and follow-through, however, Rafael has been passed up for promotion three times; twice these promotions went to colleagues with less seniority and skill than him. In addition, some coworkers feel that he can be unrealistically rigid about procedures. Although he doesn\u2019t force these views on others, they can slow down his team\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18567 alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Everything-DiSC-Insight-Bubble_No-Text_CS-Style-244x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"137\" height=\"168\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Everything-DiSC-Insight-Bubble_No-Text_CS-Style-244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Everything-DiSC-Insight-Bubble_No-Text_CS-Style.png 629w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 137px) 100vw, 137px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 137px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 137\/168;\" \/>The assessment indicates that Rafael has a CS style, with a strong inclination (see Figure 8.6). Further, his umbrella graph indicates that his pattern of DiSC scale scores is consistent with a strong CS style (see Figure 8.7). That is, he received very high scores on the C, CS, and S scales, moderate scores on the iS and CD scales, and very low scores on the D, Di, and i scales. This profile is associated with someone who is modest, self-controlled, and systematic. Like others with this style, Rafael places a particularly strong priority on stability and accuracy. He takes steps to create a predictable environment for himself and may be overly wedded to systems and routines that provide comfort for him. He has a strong task orientation but is not challenging or argumentative with his colleagues when he disagrees with them. This is largely reflected by his middling placement on the horizontal dimension of the Everything DiSC map (skeptical to accepting), but also by his lower placement on the vertical pace dimension (moderate-paced to fast-paced).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 8\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Also consistent with his lower placement on the pace dimension is a relatively passive disposition. He is not highly assertive and does not feel comfortable self-promoting. Likewise, he comes across as soft-spoken and avoids the limelight. As a result, his contributions can be overlooked, and he may not come to mind when the organization\u2019s leadership is trying to identify its high-potential employees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22297 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1834\" height=\"934\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style.png 1834w, https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/ipbpartners.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rafael-CS-Style-1536x782.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1834px) 100vw, 1834px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1834px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1834\/934;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What else do you read out from his DiSC result?
