What is the DiSC CS type?

If you want a quick review of your own style, or if you’re looking for help working with a CS-style person, we hope this short summary will help you out.

How well or how strongly this matches your own CS style will depend on how close your dot is to the edge. The less strongly inclined you are to this style—or the closer your dot is to the center—the more likely it is that some of these traits will be expressed less frequently.
