“Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.” ~Mae West
Corporations are infamous for giving out in-depth personality tests like Tony Robbin’s world-famous DISC test to prospective employees in hopes of weeding out the unfavorable candidates.

Each one of these domains show up early in life and remain stable throughout a person’s entire life.
