  10. Give example of Mary recruiter D and John programmer C Mary came to me frustrated – I just want a simple answer – should we hire and he said tomorrow. The next day, detailed write up, I asked him the elevator simulation problem and his abstraction level was this and the design patterns he used was that. These are his pros/cons – and I think we should hire him. Afterwards, we took the assessments, and she understood why and actually laughed. What if a company president is a C and all managers working for president are I’s? Managers tell president they want something but give no data and does small talk – that is why keep getting “no”’
  11. DiSC is a tool, not a diagnosis
