Introduction

The DiSC profile is a self-assessment tool that helps you understand how you interact with others. It’s based on the work of Dr. William Marston, a Harvard psychologist who developed DiSC in 1936. Over 75 years later, it remains one of the most popular and reliable ways to learn about personality types in organizations and people’s behavioral differences. The process provides individuals with concrete tools they can use to build their effectiveness as leaders and team members.

This DiSC self-assessment focuses on how you respond to other people.

The DiSC model is based on the work of William Marston. The author of a popular book called “The Emotions of Normal People”, Marston was a psychologist who wanted to find a way to understand personality differences among people. He found that using letters could help answer this question. He believed that by using letters A, B and C to represent different behaviors, people would be able to recognize their own preferences better and improve communication between themselves and others in their lives.

DiSC is a nonjudgmental tool used for discussion of people’s behavioral differences.

DiSC is a simple, non-judgmental tool that helps you to understand your behavioral differences. It can be used for discussion and developing understanding of people’s behavioral differences. We use DiSC to help us learn about ourselves and others so that we can find new ways to improve our relationships.

  • Understand the factors influencing behavior in order to deal effectively with different people
  • Learn how others may perceive you based on their own DiSC style
  • Recognize when others’ styles are affecting yours

If you participated in a DiSC program, you probably were asked to complete a series of questions that produce a detailed report about your personality and behavior.

  • DiSC stands for Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. These four different styles help us describe how we typically react to situations. They are not good or bad; they simply identify your natural inclinations so that you can understand yourself better and work more effectively with others.
  • The DiSC model is nonjudgmental and neutral—it doesn’t imply what’s right or wrong but rather describes how people think, feel and behave in different situations. It helps explain why people have different reactions to similar events: what might be frustrating to one person may be exciting to another!

The process provides individuals with concrete tools they can use to build their effectiveness as leaders and team members.

This post will explain the DiSC profile.

The DiSC profile is a personality assessment tool that helps you to understand how you personally approach or interact with a situation. To gain some insight into your own behavior, you can complete a self-assessment and then compare it with other people’s assessments. For example, if you are interested in finding out more about yourself in relation to the way that others perceive your behavior at work, ask some colleagues or friends for their DiSC profiles and then compare the results.

It is important to remember that everyone has different styles of communication and interaction based on their personality preferences. The DiSC profile does not judge these differences; instead it presents them so that we can be aware of what makes us unique as individuals.

The purpose of this post is not meant for anyone who wants to improve themselves but rather for those who want an understanding on how they function within society (or within their family). This knowledge may help provide insight into why certain situations occur more frequently than others, so hopefully this will allow greater appreciation among those involved!

Conclusion

The DiSC Profile is a great tool for understanding the differences in people and how they can work together. It can help you improve your relationships at work, home or school. If you want to learn more about tools like “Trust Falls”  please read our post on the topic.
