What is the DiSC CS style?

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.

Why I chose this art piece for the CS style

It’s a carefully rendered painting representing a traditional still life on a stable base.  The realism and careful arrangement suggest the C style to me; and the vivid color and lighting suggests the S style.
