b'This episode of Sheer Clarity is all about personality assessments, inventories, and how you can utilize them to expand your understanding of yourself and those around you. For most of us, our natural personality and behaviors are solidified by our mid-twenties, and once we know how we operate, we can use that information to play to our strengths and our weaknesses, rather than fight them. When we are more self-aware, we can communicate better with those around us, and be more efficient in the workplace. In this episode, we discuss the components that make up your personality, how personality assessments work under the DiSC system, and how to use personality tests to become a great leader. Here, we talk about the dominance construct and what this can reveal about us, as well as the importance of leading with your vulnerability and staying in-tune. \\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nKey Points from This Episode:\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Discover how personality assessments were commonly conducted in the past.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 How the influence of digital automation has changed the face of personality assessments today.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Learn more about the disk system of dominance, influence, steadiness, and complaints.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Using products like Target Training International (TTI) for a deep analysis of the data.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 When it comes to self-assessment, how accurate are personality assessments really?\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Why the dominance construct is used as a personality measurement and what it reveals.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 From genetics to thought patterns: discover the components that make up your personality.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Your natural personality won\\u2019t change much over time, but your approach to it can. \\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 How leaders can use personality information to improve themselves and team dynamics.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Getting in tune with your natural style and knowing how it has created problems for you.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The importance of leading with your vulnerability, what that looks like, and how to do it.\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 And much more!\\n\\nMentioned in Today\\u2019s Episode:\\n\\nTarget Training International (TTI)'
