Abstract/Summary
This research analyzes why type D personality, as defined by the DISC personality assessment of 123test, was by far the most common personality type in the Cal Poly Commercial Construction class of winter 2022. This is interesting, as type D is the rarest personality type, making up ~ 9% of the global population (D Style - Type D Personality, n.d.). This was investigated by collecting DISC data from other Cal Poly Construction Management students to see if winter 2022 was an outlier, or if D type prominence is indeed a Cal Poly trend. The results of this research confirm that type D is the most common personality type among Cal Poly Construction Management students. Additional DISC data gathered from construction management industry professionals, suggests that type D is also the most common DISC personality type in the construction management industry. Notably, this study also suggests that type C personality is exceedingly rare in the construction management industry.
