DISC Model of Behaviors

What is DISC?

DISC is a quadrant temperament assessment model that helps us better understand our inherent behavioral patterns (temperament/personality), or in other words, our innate and individualized manner of doing things. This classic, time-tested model provides a simple, shared language for understanding how the 4 foundational temperament types process situations, environments, communications, and people differently.

As the leading personal assessment tool of 70% of Fortune 500 companies, the DISC Model of Behaviors works especially well in team environments because it is simple and descriptive. Participants only need to understand and remember the 4 basic temperament types (on which all temperament systems are based). This is especially helpful for those not wanting to go deeper into more complex systems such as Myers-Briggs or the Enneagram.

What does the acronym stand for?

DISC assessments scientifically analyze an individual's manner of doing things by rating the four measurable behavioral styles of:
D = DOMINANCE — How a person responds to problems and challenges in order to accomplish results
I = INFLUENCE — How a person responds to and shapes the environment by relating to and influencing others
S = STEADINESS — How a person responds to the pace of the environment as well as their inclination toward support and consistency
C = CONSCIENTIOUSNESS — How a person responds to rules and procedures set by others to ensure quality and accuracy
