Would be curious to know the difference between TRACOM and DiSC as they seem almost identical. I took a DISC assessment in college as part of a leadership program and thought it was reasonably on point. Have found the Gallup StrengthsFinders assessment more holistic and personalized.

Tracom's styles:

DRIVER: ( Low responsiveness, high assertiveness ) Task orientated, clearly defined goals, committed, determined, risk takers, efficient.

EXPRESSIVE: ( High Responsiveness, High Assertiveness ) People orientated, centre of attention, positive, emotional, talkative, enthusiastic, dramatic.

AMIABLE: ( High Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness ) Loyal, personable, patient, Uncomfortable with risk, Non-Confrontational, Dislike pressure, Enjoy the company of others.

ANALYTICAL: (Low Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness) Serious, mull matters over, Indecisive, persistent, ask lots of questions,

DiSC model:

Dominance - The D-style is the most aggressive of the 4 styles. D-styles are quick, competitive and results-focused.

Influence - I-styles are the most outgoing and social of the 4 styles. They enjoy being the center of attention. I-styles like interacting with others and meeting new people.

Steadiness - S-styles are calm, steady, and the most laid back of the 4 styles. S-styles are more reserved and less animated than the outgoing I-styles.

Correctness - C-styles are the most analytical of the 4 styles. C-styles focus on details, facts, information, and proof.

I’m a few nines out... I don’t expect to show up in the basic four. Anyone have something more interesting?
