DISC is the leading personal assessment tool used by over 1 million people every year to improve work productivity, teamwork and communication.
The DISC profile is a non-judgmental tool used for discussion of people’s behavioral differences. If you participate in a DISC program, you’ll be asked to complete a series of questions that produce a detailed report about your personality and behavior. You’ll also receive tips related to working with people of other styles.
The DiSC® model provides a common language that people can use to better understand themselves and to adapt their behaviors with others — within a work team, a sales relationship, a leadership position, or other relationships.
DiSC profiles help you and your team:
- Increase your self-knowledge: how you respond to conflict, what motivates you, what causes you stress, and how you solve problems
- Improve working relationships by recognizing the communication needs of team members
Facilitate better teamwork and teach productive conflict - Develop stronger sales skills by identifying and responding to customer styles
- Manage more effectively by understanding the dispositions and priorities of employees and team members
The DISC questionnaire
The DiSC assessments are easy to take. With the MindCode360 (MC360) DiSC profiles, people are asked to respond to a phrase instead of a single word, making it easier to understand and more precise. MC360-DISC also uses adaptive testing to improve results.
Who created DISC?
Dr. William Marston, a physiological psychologist, who shared it in his book Emotions of Normal People, published in 1928. He did not create an assessment instrument from his theory. However, based on his model, others have created DISC assessments. That’s why you might discover other DISC tests in the marketplace.
