To answer this, we have provided some information below, provided by Inscape Publishing, creator of the DiSC Profile (2002).

Customer Service:

Perfectionist Pattern (25%)
Secondaries: Specialist (13%) and Counselor (11%)

Executive:

Top 3 Patterns: Result-Oriented (17%) , Inspirational (15%) , Creative (14%)
