The Candid core driver reflects the low pole of Agreeableness.

Individuals who have Candid as a core driver can be described as being upfront, straight talking, and tend not to be swayed by others' opinions or feelings. They are socially flexible, competitive, and know when to bend the rules to get ahead.

As a strength, Candid individuals tend to be direct and to the point when dealing with others. They prefer not to beat around the bush and are unlikely to be easily swayed by displays of emotion or worry about others’ feelings.

Candid individuals tend to be socially clumsy, causing offense to others and missing important social cues.

When leading or working in a team, Candid individuals typically play the role of a “Truth Teller”. That is, they are willing to have the hard conversations and keep people accountable. When leading others, Candid individuals aren't affected by other people's feelings. This helps cut through a lot of noise and distractions and get to the heart of issues. Candid individuals can make tough calls on people and rarely get too tangled in emotions. The downside to this is that their colleagues and direct reports may find them too straightforward and cold, as they “say it how it is”. While addressing conflict in a transparent and open way, it is helpful to address underlying issues quickly, although when practiced poorly, it can lead to a toxic culture.
