What is DiSC? What is a Profile?
What is DiSC?
DiSC is a unique, four-quadrant lens to interpret behavior of
yourself and others. The Original DISC Personality Behavior Model, based
on the work of William Moulton Marston and described in his two books
Emotions of Normal People (1928) and Integrative Psychology
(1930), describes four main behavioral profiles, D (Dominance), I
(Influence), S (Steadiness) and C (Conscientiousness).
What is a Profile?
A Profile is a self-assessment, commonly known as a survey, test,
inventory, or learning tool. You cannot "pass" or "fail"; the 28
question DiSC, easy to take and score, indicates your behavior patterns
and tendencies within the four quadrants. DISC Profiles describe and
measure human behavior in a specific environment.
What Does it Mean?
Your score in each of these areas show the relative strength of each
of these behavioral approaches; the combination of these scores shows
your overall behavioral style expressed most frequently as one of 15
patterns.
High D's (those who score highly in Dominance) like results
and control; they can be described as quick and impatient.
High I's (those who score highly in Influence) are
people-oriented and thrive on recognition; they are often described as
expressive and enthusiastic.
High S's (those who score highly in Steadiness) are stable and
deliberate; they are good listeners and are often described as
diplomatic.
High C's (those who score highly in Conscientious) are
analytical, systematic, orderly and accurate.
