General Information about DiSC

The DiSC profile, published by Wiley, is a non-judgemental 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.

What does DiSC® measure?

DiSC measures your tendencies and preferences — your patterns of behavior. It does not
measure intelligence, aptitude, mental health or values. DiSC profiles describe human behavior
in various situations. For example, the DiSC questionnaire asks about how you respond to
challenges, how you influence others, how you respond to rules and procedures, and about
your preferred pace of activity. It does not measure every dimension of your personality.

The DiSC model discusses four reference points:

 Dominance – direct, strong-willed and forceful

 Influence—sociable, talkative and lively

 Steadiness—gentle, accommodating and soft-hearted

 Conscientiousness—private, analytical and logical


Personality assessments in psychology

Psychologists have been measuring personality traits since the 1930s. Since that time they have
strived to better understand personality and to create a way of measuring it. They have become
more aware of the complexity of interactive forces that are responsible for any one behavior.

Most personality psychologists believe that traits and situations are interactive. This is one
reason why DiSC can be so helpful — you can learn to adapt your own responses depending on
the DiSC style of the person you're speaking with or your situation. So as a manager, you might
choose not to use the behavior you're most comfortable with, but instead use one you know
will be more effective with your entire team.
