Elphaba or Glinda? What Your Witch Type Says About Your Leadership Style

With Wicked: For Good flying into theaters this Friday, it’s the perfect time to ask:

🧹 Are you more Elphaba… or Glinda?

No matter which side of the broomstick you ride, your personality has power — and just like the witches of Oz, your unique strengths (and blind spots) shape how you lead, work, and connect.

Take our short, 10-question quiz to discover which iconic witch aligns with your DISC style. Are you bold and misunderstood like Elphaba, or charming and strategic like Glinda?

🧙‍♀️ Your Results:

  • Mostly A’s? You’re an Elphaba — bold, driven, a force for change… but you may steamroll without realizing it. (DC: Dominant/Compliant)

  • Mostly B’s? You’re a Glinda — magnetic, joyful, a true connector… but maybe a little too eager to be liked. (IS: Influence/Steadiness)

  • Split evenly? You’re a paradox — and possibly ready for a full DISC assessment to really unlock your unique blend of traits.
