Personality Profiling

#iDareToUnderstandMyself


Hi - my name is Megan and I have always been interested in watching crime series programs! At age 14 I first started watching the series Criminal Minds and it made me interested in different personality types – why people behave differently and why it can lead to them becoming criminals.

To learn more about some of the tools used for this I did a simple test on myself using a DISC profiling tool which asked me different questions about the way that I think and behave...and I was really surprised how right it was! My results where D and C, which means dominant and cautious.

What does that mean?

Dominant means fast paced, questioning, direct, and competitive - and for me I like to finish my work and I am very competitive when I am gaming with my brother, so this sounds a lot like me at home and when studying!

Cautious means accurate - you are a thinker, like to work alone and study information carefully, and again, I do like to work by myself because I find it easier, and I always like to think before I speak.

Why did I do it?

I found doing this useful as it's given me a better understanding of what works for me and what doesn’t, and why I do the things the way I do. In the next edition, I will be looking into some of the tools used to profile criminals, but if you are interested in learning more about your personality profile in the mean time, you can try the one I did here:
