How it works...(using Tango as an example)
If you watch the dancers in action, you can translate their movements and attitude to
a certain personality style. For instance, when tango dancers start, they cautiously move their feet slowly across the floor.
They are centered inward, not looking at the audience. Their movements are rigid, staccato-like. All of these observable characteristics
match someone who is also cautious, rigid, slow to make decisions, but still intense.
In the traditional
Greek terminology this would be a Melancholy, in the DiSC system this would be a "C" for Cautious, or an Analytical
in the social style program.
Study the photo of tango dancers below. You don't even need the picture to "move"
to be able to see the specific characteristics of the dance, and therefor the personality. They both are positioned just "perfectly,"
they look more serious, yet intense, they are more "inward" than looking out to an audience, and they look formal.
All of the observable characteristics match someone who would "tango" through life. Being
able to "see and hear" what someone's personality style looks and sounds like is what makes our system bring
to life an abstract concept.
Tango the Thinker In
the book, "Why Can't Everyone Be Like Me?" Tango plays a very important part in the Personality Kingdom.Tango
lives in the Royal Inventor's Studio ("Tango's Think Tank"). He is from The Family of Introvert and lives
on the Thinking Turnpike.
He loves to think deep thoughts, and has very deep feelings that
he doesn't show unless he feels very close to you. He likes things to be perfect. The challenge is that he lives with
imperfect beings--including himself.
Tango is very clever and invents lots of efficient contraptions. He also is
an accomplished artist and musician. Mozart was his cousin as is Martha Stewart and Bill Gates.
