National Stress Indicator™ for Vietnam

Recently, HR Profiling Solutions Ltd shared updates on the latest report of the Extended DISC® Validation Study for 2022 on their fan page

As an Accredited Consultant/Practitioner of Extended DISC, I’ve reached out to HR Profiling Solutions Ltd. asking for data on the National Stress Indicator™ (NSI™) for Vietnam. Here are a few important points highlighted by HR Profiling Ltd when interpreting this indicator:

• The total population used in the research was 1,237,505 Behavioral Analysis profiles in 86 languages. A profile with no indication of any negative pressure gets a zero score, while the highest possible score is 5. Therefore, a lower score means a lower stress level.

• The NSI™ is one outcome of Extended DISC®’s continuous global research, aiming to understand not only individuals, teams, and corporations but also whole nations.

• In a behavioral sense, stress is the external pressure an individual feels that forces them away from their comfort zone. A certain amount of stress accompanies normal everyday tasks and responsibilities within a work environment. The NSI™ does NOT measure stress that the individual has control over and accepts. Instead, the NSI™ measures the amount of negative stress pressure individuals feel the environment is causing them.

• The report has measured the NSI™ of 52 countries and detailed the stress recorded for the four main behaviors (D.I.S.C) in each country. below are some simplified comparisons:

Vietnam's NSI™ Scores for 2022 📊

• Overall score: 1.35

• Male: 1.34

• Female: 1.37

• Scores for 4 different styles (*):

• Dominance (D): 1.20

• Influence (I): 1.09

• Steadiness (S): 1.77

• Compliance (C): 1.01

As a high-achieving female professional, understanding the NSI™ can offer crucial insights into how stress affects your productivity and overall well-being. Vietnam's relatively low NSI™ score of 1.35 indicates a moderate level of external stress pressure in the work environment. I found it particularly interesting to observe the differences in stress levels among various behavioral styles for Vietnam:

• Dominance (D): With a score of 1.20, individuals with this style face relatively lower stress, suggesting they might be better at handling external pressures.

• Influence (I): At 1.09, this group experiences the least stress, indicating a high resilience to external stressors.

• Steadiness (S): A higher score of 1.77 shows that individuals with this style may find external pressures more challenging, highlighting the need for targeted stress management strategies.

• Compliance (C): The score of 1.01 suggests that those with a compliant style are the least stressed, potentially due to their meticulous and detail-oriented nature.
  

By recognizing and addressing these differences, you can tailor your approach to stress management, leveraging your strengths and working on areas that need improvement. Prioritizing self-care and seeking support when needed can help you navigate stress more effectively, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling professional life.
