Id and I DISC compatibility
The Mobilizer and the Inspirer can communicate clearly
Give shared enthusiasm a clear owner for the follow-up.
Imagine these situations with Alex. Read the advice for your own style. Id combines an interest in engaging people with a push to turn ideas into action. I emphasizes enthusiasm and talking ideas through.
You can work together more clearly.
You and Alex may get a room talking with little preparation. The Id side may begin assigning actions while the I side is still exploring ideas aloud. At the end of the meeting, ask each of you to name one commitment and when it will happen.
You can make everyday life together easier.
You can have an enjoyable conversation about a reunion and leave with different assumptions about who is organizing it. Write down who will contact the venue and who will ask about dates. Check availability before describing the reunion as confirmed.
If your style is Id, try this with Alex.
- Ask Alex to choose a task before you volunteer Alex for it.
- Keep a short note of decisions after the conversation.
If your style is I, try this with Alex.
- Tell Alex which ideas you are exploring and which you want to commit to.
- Send the promised message while the plan is still fresh.
Try a conversation like this.
Adapt these example words to your situation: "Alex, I am excited about the reunion. I can contact the venue tomorrow. Would you like to ask everyone about dates and send me the replies on Friday?"
Your styles are one part of the picture
DISC describes communication preferences. It cannot predict whether a relationship will succeed. Your circumstances, values and choices matter too. Use these examples to start a conversation about what fits you both.
