What is a DISC Assessment and DISC Profile?
A DISC profile is based on the results of a DISC assessment (also known as a DISC test) . The profile is unique to your personal selections in the DISC assessment that our system analyses to create helpful feedback for you. It provides insights about your personal strengths, your preferences in communication and your behavioral traits. Profile reports are available that range from concise formats (6-pages) to extended formats of 30-50 pages or more of feedback. Our profiles are intentionally positive and encouraging to help you be your best!
What is a DISC Assessment (Personality Test) ?
A DISC assessment is a quick and simple way for you to determine your personality style. You answer a questionnaire where there are no right or wrong answers – just your choices on how you see yourself. A DISC assessment is also commonly known as DISC profile or a personality test. We do not prefer to call it a personality test, because it is not a pass or fail situation. Again, there are no right or wrong answers – just choices that you make.
Our DISC assessments use 24 groups of descriptive words that are presented to you to think about and make choices. It only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the assessment. Your online personality assessment is tallied and used to create a personality profile report that will tell you all about yourself!
What is DISC?
“D.I.S.C.” is an acronym or term that was introduced by American psychologist Dr. Willam Marston in the late 1920’s. He developed a personality model based on the ideas of four main behavioral traits that he referred to as Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance (hence “D.I.S.C.“). DISC has proven to be a useful in the workplace and for personal growth. Now, DISC is used by a number of companies who leverage the concept for use in many areas.
The founder of Personality Insights, Inc, Robert A. Rohm, Ph.D, has been teaching DISC for about 30 years. He studied DISC and found that, as he began to teach and train others, there was a need to develop better ways to present and explain DISC. He then refined his message and developed what he calls “The DISC Model of Human Behavior” where DISC represents more intuitive primary descriptors: Dominant, Inspiring, Supportive and Cautious. His approach is to be clear to make DISC easy to understand and easy to apply. Here is a basic diagram of The DISC Model of Human Behavior.
