D—“dominance” they are always headed to a goal
I—“influence”. They are pumped up around ‘what its’ of the project, all the possibilities no matter how wild or eccentric, they are optimistic and expressive about the alternatives and new visions
S—steadfast” this person thrives on building relationships in the team, finding accord in what appears to be discord, contributing a very stable, sympathetic role to the team
C—“conscientious” checking out all the facts and figures for the team, keeping the tam on the straight and narrow with regard to the process, testing, and standards.
