One of my technology transfer departments recently went through a day-long session where we discussed our current status and our future goals while examining how we work together as a team. It was a rather interesting view on the office, and so I wanted to talk a bit about the method that was used and its results. There is definitely something useful for everyone. The meat of our activity was centered around a personality test using the DISC assessment system. The letters of DISC stand for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. Most people have a large variation among the personality traits, and usually one of them is dominant over the others.
