DiSC Classic Profile – Steadiness Family – “Achiever” Pattern – S/d

The Achiever Pattern is the third of four patterns in the Steadiness Family and it presents with a primary S and secondary d.

People with a DiSC Classic Profile with the Achiever pattern have a strong sense of personal accountability.  They are confident of their personal work accomplishments, and may be reluctant to delegate tasks when under stress.  They thrive when they have a strong sense of direction over their work and personal lives.  They are continually in pursuit of new accomplishments. While their D nature is focused on results, their S nature cares about fairness and respect.  They are natural style choice when fighting for equality and justice.  With their S-compassion and D-tenacity, they are willing to speak up for those who are unwilling or unable.  With the willpower of the D tendency, and the S-patience tendency, the Achiever displays unwavering determination to fight for a cause.

The dual style of S and D makes it difficult to predict the reactions of the Achiever.  Sometimes they are in D mode – direct and results oriented, and at other times they are in S mode – caring and accommodating.  They are highly independent, yet may want to be part of a high performing team.   They express fierce loyalty to people in their lives.
