The object is to find an instrument that, without overwhelming clients, provides meaningful data that can be shared with them in a practical and sustainable way.  \nSometimes a single instrument can’t provide all the information required, so a second assessment is brought in to address the unmet needs. For example, bringing in the MBTI® instrument when using the DiSC® instrument allows the practitioner to combine the value of psychological type knowledge with the DiSC’s exploration of behavioral strengths to offer clients a comprehensive picture of their personality and behavioral style. This combination of results provides a greater return on investment in the training than does a typical “one-off” training , which may end up parked on a bookshelf and never fully utilized.  \nBLENDING THE THEORIES AND UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENCES  \nThe DiSC assessment focuses solely on behavior at work, while the insights revealed by the MBTI instrument apply to overall behavioral style at home and at work. The highest DiSC dimension plays a role similar to that of the dominant function in type theory, in that it is the dimension that is used most often and most comfortably, and that is most accessible. Although the DiSC model does not involve an interactive process like that of type dynamics, there are ways in which the four dimens ions work together to create personality patterns (to be discussed later) . The Intensity Index of the DiSC tool corresponds in a sense to the MBTI tool’s preference clarity index, except that with the MBTI instrument we are speaking not to amounts of a preference but to the tendency for one preference to be more or less present than its opposite.  \nType dynamics are influenced by a multitude of elements. According to type theory, the function pairs are the drivers of our personality, and they influence the way we work on teams, lead others, manage conflict and change, and communicate with others. The DiSC instrument can also add a behavioral element to the actions we take based on the use of our preferences:  \nDominance (D) and Influence (I) have an internal locus of control. This means that people with Dominance or Influence as their highest dimension believe they have control over what happens in their life and will work to make things happen. They tend to be more assertive than people with Conscientiousness or Steadiness as their highest dimension, due in part to their belief that  \nif they put their mind to something they can make it happen. They are active and fast paced in their decision-making processes.  \nConscientiousness (C) and Steadiness (S) have an external locus of control. This means that people with Conscientiousness or Steadiness as their highest dimension believe they are somewhat controlled by things in their world that are out of their hands. This may keep them from taking risks and may influence their level of pessimism versus optimism. They are thoughtful and moderately paced in their decision-making processes.  \nIf we examine the ways in which this idea of locus of control influences the dominant functions, we can make the hypotheses detailed in the following chart.  \n\n| MBTI® Dominant\u003Cbr>Function | DiSC D and I Dimensions\u003Cbr>(Internal Locus of Control) | DiSC C and S Dimensions\u003Cbr>(External Locus of Control) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| NE | Share ideas freely | Generate discussion with others during brainstorming to affirm their ideas |\n|  | Demonstrate confidence in offering ideas to others | Use predictable and consistent ways to help others understand |\n|  | Take risks with unique opportunities | Share ideas in an accurate and precise manner |\n|  | Can establish buy-in for less conventional ideas | Show loyalty to others by promoting harmony |\n| N","cbCaiuzSzFAH0W3N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuzSzFAH0W3N","pdf",58639,"English","# Blending the Theories and Understanding Differences\n## Using Two Instruments to Cover Unmet Needs\n## DiSC vs MBTI: Behavior at Work and Overall Style\n## Locus of Control and Dimension Pairings\n## Mapping MBTI Dominant Functions to DiSC Dimensions","[{\"question\":\"Why combine the MBTI® instrument with the DiSC® instrument?\",\"answer\":\"Sometimes one assessment cannot provide all the information a session or workshop needs.
