This means they don't underestimate what they can do, they don't sell themselves short and they know their own limitations. More importantly, by understanding themselves, they are able to develop plans to overcome their shortcomings and take full advantage of their strengths to improve their communication and effectiveness with others.The DISC Assessment measures observable behavior.
