The DISC Profile (or DISC Assessment) is one of the most well known and accepted assessment tools to ever be developed.
WHAT IS DISC? DISC is the universal language of observable human behaviour. Research has shown that people, in terms of how they act and communicate, universally have similar characteristics. One person you meet might be talkative, sociable and loud, whilst the next might be quiet, shy and methodical. Consistently, these characteristics have been grouped into 4 distinct quadrants. Called various names over time (such as Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic and Phlegmatic), today these 4 traits have popularly become known as 'DISC'.
IS DISC A PERSONALITY TEST? Not exactly. DISC is not a measure of your complete personality. Claims that DISC measures your personality are misleading and this term should be avoided as DISC only measures one aspect of your individuality: behaviour. DISC explores only 4 traits within your personality, but the term 'personality' goes far beyond the amplification of these 4 behavioural traits. For this reason, DISC, although sometimes discussed along-side other inventories such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), is not in the same category. DISC is a behavioural assessment tool. MBTI is promoted as a personality inventory, dealing with preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
AM I ONLY 1 OF THE 4 FACTORS? Emphatically, no! It is very important that people are not simply seen as purely 1 factor. It is the intensity of all 4 factors as measured by the DISC assessment that makes each of us unique (including both high scoring and low scoring). It is necessary in the beginning to distinguish only 4 factors, however this is only the first step in the process of learning about DISC. People should not be categorised as simply one or the other.
BRIEF SUMMARY: DISC is a user-friendly, fun and very applicable COMMON LANGUAGE which, once properly understood between two people, will lead to improved communication, less conflict and deeper levels of mutual trust. DISC is a simple but powerful tool to use in developing teams, communication programs, conflict resolution, sales effectiveness, and any other training associated with creating more effective relationships. The DISC profile provides a foundation for people to first understand themselves, second understand others and third adapt their communication style to increase communication effectiveness. The ultimate purpose of DISC is to help people improve their Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
