I'm recreating my website while implementing new systems and an experience. I began working on the "about me" page; I thought to myself, instead of writing a generic bio about myself and listing my values, why not share the results of the two personality assessments that I've completed.
The two assessments are DISC profile and KPA, which Keller Williams provided. Both assessments are very spot on regarding my personality and working style.
Employers usually use these types of tests during the hiring process. I thought it would be very beneficial to a home seller or buyer as they are "hiring" an agent to help sell or find the most significant asset in their lives. Not to mention, everyone and their mother, father, brother, sister, and cousin have a real estate license in Miami. I think seeing an agent's personality assessment results can be beneficial to decide as you search online.
Then I thought, after creating the page for my website, why not write a blog and share these results also! So here we are! If you are a past client, you may find these results shocking {insert sarcasm}. If you do not yet know me, I'm a real estate agent working on creating my platform and system to assist condo sellers in making the process more seamless. If you're thinking about hiring me, this article will give you most of the information that you need about me. If you're a casual reader or just a friend reading this, I hope you enjoy reading my results as much as I have!

What is a DISC Profile?
DiSC® is a personal assessment tool that many organizations from the government, Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and non-profits use. DiSC® profiles help identify personality traits for employers and help raise awareness for individuals.
DiSC stands for the four main personality profiles described in the DiSC model:
(D)ominance
(I)nfluence
(S)teadiness
(C)onscientiousness
People with "D" personalities tend to be confident, take charge, and emphasize accomplishing bottom-line results.
People with "I" personalities tend to be more open and emphasize relationships, and influence or persuade others.
People with "S" personalities tend to be dependable and place emphasis on cooperation and sincerity.
People with "C" personalities tend to emphasize quality, accuracy, expertise, and competency.

What is a KPA?
The KPA is a more in-depth assessment by Keller Williams that brings a complete understanding of an individual. This assessment helps you grasp not only how a person behaves but how they think.

Structure

Thinking Traits

Logical Problem Solving

Rapid Problem Solving
Anthony can deal quickly with new problems that arise. He can identify overarching themes and patterns from information.
Spatial Visualization

Vocabulary
Anthony retains information and can use learned ideas to solve new problems. He can readily understand most concepts in the workplace. He is interested in learning and new ideas. He can pick up on some nuance of communication.
Operating Style
A person's behavior and thinking traits are combined in unique ways to impact how they work with others.
Communication
Anthony tends to be selective in his choice of social activities and commitments. He is reserved and purposeful in his social initiatives rather than gregarious. Characteristically, he is task-directed, analytical,
and focused on results in his work. When he has a good grasp of the facts, he can communicate confidently and convincingly. He may not devote too much time to small talk or purely social interactions. While he can be courteous and positive with people, he may often be rather matter-of-fact and direct in his communication style.
Decision Making
While concerned about positive outcomes, Anthony is also action-oriented and motivated to get things done quickly and expeditiously. He likes to be timely and active in his work approach, and he avoids delays, inefficiency, and slow-moving decision-making processes. He is relatively assertive and comfortable relying on his own insights and conclusions to decide how things should be done. He will not rely upon established guidelines and standards, but he will seek some flexibility and autonomy in managing his work.
Ideal Environment
Anthony is typically open to new ideas and new ways to improve efficiency. He would find a static, routine, or slow-moving environment to be dissatisfying. Because he is very task-directed and focused
on productivity, he would prefer not to be distracted by recurring people problems. He quickly tires of routine, repetitive assignments, and he can be eager for changes of pace and variety in his tasks. He
values a busy and diverse job setting where he can work quickly and efficiently. He expects to be held accountable, but he also seeks a relatively high degree of independence and flexibility in implementation.
Ideal Supervisor
Anthony enjoys mental challenges and the independence to organize and coordinate projects using his own methods and processes. He responds well to delegated responsibility for task management work. He has less interest in taking charge of complex people's problems or persuasive activities. Because of his natural need for change, he should be receptive to various activities and new assignments. He values decisive, timely responses from management as he dislikes waiting for information and being delayed. He maintains a natural sense of urgency, and he could be dissatisfied if rewards and outcomes are slow in being realized.
Team Dynamics
Anthony enjoys working independently and relying mainly on his own abilities without depending too heavily on others. He can adapt to a team-oriented work environment if he is provided with a reasonable degree of privacy and autonomy. He is apt to approach people most assuredly to obtain and coordinate information, troubleshoot, and address issues. He is not a natural mixer or socializer with unfamiliar people. In familiar workgroups, he is more at ease interacting and expressing his views. Others may see him as being independent in his thinking and actions.
