Who is the Dc?

Dc types are strong-willed, independent, and results-focused with a powerful drive toward achieving goals efficiently and precisely. They combine the assertiveness of D with the analytical precision of C, making them more intense and forceful than most while also being methodical and quality-focused. They prefer to be serious and business-like in their interactions, investing energy in purposeful activities rather than casual socializing. They don't just want results -- they want results done right.

Do's

• Be very direct, assertive, and business-focused. Stay on topic and orient toward results.
• Come prepared with data and logical reasoning to support your position.
• Work quickly and effectively -- they respect efficiency in others.
• Share your thoughts and logical ideas openly. They value intellectual honesty.
• Keep communication factual and precise. Say exactly what you mean.
• Give them autonomy and the freedom to work independently.
