DISC

Which DISC profile are you?

In 1928, a Harvard trained psychologist working at Columbia University, William Moulton

Marston,  Ph.D. based much of his life work on studying and enhancing his 4 Quadrant model. His book  entitled The Emotions of Normal People outlined his theories and became the foundation for  modern DISC assessments. Marston introduced the definitions of DISC.

DISC is an acronym for:

Dominance – relating to control, power and assertiveness.

Influence – relating to social situations and communication.

Steadiness – relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness.

Compliance – relating to structure and organization.

The assessment asks how you would respond in a number of situations to identify your behaviour, but also incorporates the fact that people exhibit different styles in different environments.DISC theory and assessment tools have stood the test of time, passing validation studies from the  most prestigious learning institutes in the world.

It’s important to note that every profile has its own strengths and weaknesses and all are equally capable of success in their own fields.

Steadiness: Your need for planning and your source of thoughtfulness.  When you are being strategic or go out of your way to help someone, you  are using your 'S' factor.

Compliance: Your need for structure and your source of organization.  When you become extremely focused on completing your tasks, you are  using your 'C' factor.

To give you an idea of the different profiles, here are some famous faces in the DISC profile:

A DISC Assessment is not a test, so it is impossible to fail. So what does a  DISC assessment measure?

DISC assessments measure your different  levels of each of the four DISC Factors:

Dominance: Your need for control and your source of ambition.  Whenever you are feeling self-motivated, you are using your 'D' factor.

Influence: Your need for communication and your source of persuasion.  Whenever you are feeling talkative, you are using your 'I' factor.
