About DiSC
Everything DiSC® is a personal development learning experience that measures an individual’s preferences and tendencies based on the DiSC model, a simple yet powerful model that describes four distinct behavioral styles: D, i, S, and C, and serves as the foundation for increasing understanding of self and others.
Everyone is a blend of all four DiSC styles—usually one, two, or even three styles stand out. Each person has a unique behavioral profile with different styles and priorities—no one style better or worse than the next. We believe that these differences in style can be extremely valuable. Once you assess these differences and harness their value, better workplace communication AND healthier organizations become possible.
The Model
While each person is a blend of each style, individuals tend more strongly toward one or two. Each style has different priorities and preferences. Knowing these differences helps individuals and teams build more effective working relationships.
- The D (Direct) style is active and questioning. This describes people who are direct, forceful, and outspoken with their opinions.
- The i (Influence) style is active and accepting. This describes people who are outgoing, enthusiastic, and lively.
- The S (Steadiness) style is thoughtful and accepting. This describes people who are gentle, accommodating, and patient with others’ mistakes.
- The C (Conscientiousness) style is thoughtful and questioning. This describes people who are analytical, reserved, and precise.
The DiSC profile reveals how an individual will react under different circumstances and situations, such as when connecting with others, during communication, in conflict and under stress. The DiSC profile is a development tool, a team-building tool, and a behavioral tool. DiSC does not indicate what we can or cannot do, just the energy it will take.
Here is an example in action. Imagine a team deciding on a new project strategy:
- A D style suggests a bold move.
- An i style pitches creative ideas to energize the team.
- An S style focuses on team impact and long-term feasibility.
- A C style analyzes potential risks and proposes safeguards.
By integrating these perspectives, the final decision is well-rounded, strategic, and actionable.
