Snapshot

Lead style: Influence (I) Supporting: Dominance (D)
An outgoing, persuasive profile with real drive — the classic shape of a strong sales negotiator. Jordan will win people over quickly and chase a target hard. Watch the lower Compliance score: paperwork accuracy and process discipline are where this candidate will need structure and checking-in.
Behavioural profile

DISC breakdown

How Jordan tends to work day to day. The two highest dimensions are their lead styles; the lowest tells you where they'll need support.

IInfluence — people, persuasion, energyLead style
82
SSteadiness — patience, consistency, support

CCompliance — detail, accuracy, process
38

Lead styles (I then D). Jordan is naturally outgoing and persuasive, and comfortable driving toward a result. Expect confident client contact, quick rapport, and someone who enjoys competition and targets — exactly what you want across a viewing, a negotiation and a close.

Lowest dimension (Compliance, 38). The trade-off is detail and process. Left unsupported, admin accuracy — memorandums of sale, compliance paperwork, file notes — is the likeliest weak spot. This isn't a reason to reject; it's a reason to put a checklist, a diarised process, or a detail-strong teammate around them.

Moderate Steadiness (44). Jordan prefers variety and pace over routine. Great for a busy front-of-house sales seat; less suited to a role that is mostly repetitive process work.

What this means for the hire

Behavioural fit for the role: strong. An I/D lead with good written skills is a natural fit for a sales negotiator seat — persuasive, driven, and articulate enough to represent your brand well in writing and in person.

Where to manage: pair the lower Compliance and attention-to-detail scores with clear process — a sales-progression checklist, regular file audits early on, or a detail-strong administrator alongside them. Do that and the risk is well contained.

Verdict: a promising candidate for a target-driven sales role. Progress to a structured interview and use the questions below to probe the detail gap directly.

Interview toolkit

Suggested questions

Generated from this profile — use them to probe, not to decide.

1
Tell me about a deal or target you were determined to win. What did you do when it started slipping?Tests the D/I drive — you want a real, specific example, not bravado.
2
Walk me through how you keep your paperwork and file notes accurate when you're busy with viewings.Probes the low Compliance score directly — listen for an actual system, not "I just remember".
3
Describe a time detail mattered and you missed something. What changed afterwards?Self-awareness about the weak spot matters more than a perfect record.
4
How do you like to be managed — lots of autonomy, or clear structure and check-ins?Confirms how much process scaffolding this hire will need to thrive.

How to use this report fairly

This is one input, not a verdict. DISC measures behavioural preference — not ability, potential or character. Combine it with the skills results and a structured, consistent interview, apply it the same way to every candidate, and never reject someone on the profile alone. Used this way it makes your hiring fairer and more defensible, not less.
