Jay Torrence
In lieu of an appropriate and/or interesting biography, Jay has submitted the following results from a D.I.S.C. Behavioral Assessment Test that he took in order to identify his inherent and adapted styles of behavior.
In doing so, Jay hopes to reveal to the greater public the inner mechanics of his being in an arm's length, vague, impersonal sort of "standardized" way. Which is consistent with both his "behavior" and his "personality."
If for any reason, you'd like to be more like Jay, then by all means take his standardized test results and adapt your own behavior and personality accordingly. I find it's best to stand in front of a mirror once in the morning and once at night and repeat Jay's characteristics out loud in a masculine and affirming tone. Having a lock of Jay's hair (or toe nail clipping) as well as a personal article of Jay's clothing (his undergarments, for instance) in one or both of your hands will not guarantee faster results in your transformation to becoming "Jay", but it definitely will not hurt. Also, if you don't own a mirror then ask a neighbor or a close friend if they might have one you could borrow. Or you could take a piece of glass and paint the back of it black. This will cause light on the glass to reflect the image that is before it. Since I own a mirror, I've never actually tried that, but I vaguely remember seeing it done on a PBS show for children once in the early eighties and I think it will still work.
D.I.S.C. BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR JASON TORRENCE
General Characteristics:
Jason likes harmony and cooperation. Most of the time he appears as cool, calm and controlled. He likes to set his own pace. When others try to rush him, he feels threatened and may balk. He sometimes finds it difficult to relax until all the work is completed. He does not always like being placed in competitive situations. He tends to lose the "team feeling" when he is involved in direct competition. Jason wants to be seen as a responsible person, and will avoid behavior that could be seen by others as irresponsible. Jason can be sensitive to the feelings of others and is able to display real empathy for those who are experiencing difficulties. He is good at analyzing situations. He is capable of bringing stability to a team. Jason likes a friendly, open style of communication. He likes to know what is expected of him in a relationship and wants the duties and responsibilities of others who will be involved explained. He is not easily triggered or explosive, but he may conceal some grievances because he doesn't always state his feelings. Jason will be open with those he trusts; however, reaching the required trust level will take time.
