What is DISC?

Q: What does a DISC profile tell you?

The DISC profile is a system for understanding yourself. It will help you figure out your personality style, strengths and limitations in different areas of life like work or relationships with others people – all the way down to how well each type can communicate its point-of view!

Q: How long does a DISC test usually take to complete?

On average, an online DISC assessment test takes about 10-15 minutes and results are instantaneous. A paper DISC test takes approximately 15-20 minutes due to additional time needed to manually score the results.

Q: Do I need to be certified in DISC?

The short answer: no. Certification is not required to administer or interpret DISC. PeopleKeys DISC Reports are self-explanatory and can be used as a standalone tool for personality analysis. Adding Certification in Behavioral Analysis to your credentials will show you have an in-depth understanding of people and their predictable behavior as to why they do what they do. At the end of the course, you will have a deeper appreciation for DISC theory and application.

Q: What is the difference between DISC and Myers-Briggs (MBTI)?

The DISC instrument and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) are highly recognized assessment tools to predict human behavior, personality, and temperament and enhance communication. Both instruments are widely used today in organizations around the world. DISC focuses on predictable behaviors (why we do what we do, act the way we act, and react the way we react).In the end, preference is up to the user. What traits are they trying to gauge? Do they have time for training or have someone who can explain the test? Do they need something more straightforward? How much time do they have to take the assessment and go through the results? What is the application? These questions will often guide you either towards the MBTI or the DISC personality test as your psychometric test tool.

DISC assessments are based on observations over thousands of years of human development. Rooted in simple and easily applicable principles, DISC offers a comprehensive behavioral tool with diverse applications.

PeopleKeys DISC Reports are self-explanatory, but certification showcases a comprehensive grasp of DISC theory and application, enhancing your ability to interpret results for clients or employers.

Can DISC personality styles change or are they static?

DISC styles can change based on environment, stress, and time. Different settings may evoke varied responses, stress can temporarily alter results, and personal growth can lead to evolving styles over time.

Is DISC culturally consistent?

The DISC Personality Assessment is culturally consistent in identifying basic personality elements. Cultural nuances may influence how traits are perceived, but the core DISC model remains universally applicable.

Who developed DISC theory?

Dr. William Moulton Marston at Harvard University pioneered the DISC theory, identifying four personality types: Dominance (D), Inducement (I), Submission (S), and Compliance (C). While the core principles endure, today’s presentation incorporates advancements in psychology, making it more contemporary.

What is the difference between DISC and Myers-Briggs (MBTI)?

Both DISC and MBTI predict behavior but differ in complexity and application. DISC is quicker, simpler, and more practical, focusing on observable behaviors. MBTI delves into internal thought processes.

While both are highly validated, it’s essential to note that MBTI is also a clinical tool, not typically used for hiring purposes due to its detailed nature and longer completion time. Furthermore, Myers-Briggs ethical guidelines explicitly state “it is not ethical to use the MBTI instrument for hiring”.

Can you tell me more about people with high values in opposing quarters (I & C or D & S)?

Opposing values (e.g., I & C or D & S) create “style blends,” shaping and modifying each expressed style. For instance, a C blended with an S may exhibit measured deliberation, while a D blended with a C might make quick decisions efficiently. Sometimes, individuals switch styles based on situations, often as a learned or adaptive response to their environment or experiences.

How can understanding DISC profiles improve teamwork?

Understanding DISC profiles enhances teamwork by fostering effective communication. It allows team members to appreciate each other’s strengths and adapt their approach for better collaboration.

Can a person be a combination of more than one DISC type?

Absolutely! We all often exhibit a primary and a secondary DISC style, creating a unique combination. Recognizing this dual influence provides a richer understanding of one’s behavior.

Are there specific careers that align better with certain DISC profiles?

While DISC profiles are versatile, certain traits may naturally align with specific careers. Exploring these connections can help individuals make informed career choices based on their strengths.

How can DISC be applied in personal relationships?

DISC insights can enhance personal relationships by facilitating better communication and understanding. Learning each other’s styles can lead to improved harmony and mutual support.

Can DISC be used for professional development?

Absolutely. DISC can guide professional development by highlighting areas for growth and providing a roadmap for honing skills. It’s a valuable tool for individuals looking to advance in their careers.
