Time required: ~10 minutes
Instructions:
-
Ask the group to shout out a few common sayings, maxims, or aphorisms. Suggest that some of these reflect how we respect each main DiSC style.
Samples not in the quiz: “To err is human, to forgive divine.” “Having nothing, nothing can he lose.” “Pride goeth before a fall.” “Opposites attract.” -
Walk through the slides asking learners to suggest which DiSC style best fits the selected aphorisms. Or ask participants to organize printed examples into each of the four styles.
