DISC REFERENCE GUIDE

Find your DISC Graph on the Indigo summary page: Take note of scores furthest away from 50 on the DISC
graph (high or low). These are the behaviors that will stand out most for you. Reference "stand-out" scores
below. Various combinations of stand-out DISC factors will influence communication styles and environmental
needs. For example, a High D, Low C will need a fast-paced, results-oriented environment with lots of freedom.
However, a High D, High C will need an environment where results can be achieved through structure, quality,
and attention to detail. If all scores are near the middle , you are likely adaptable to many environments.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU

Motivators are like an engine beneath the hood of a car. Motivators aren't easily seen from the outside but they
are what power you. This is important to your college and career choice because motivators correlate directly to
fulfillment and meaning. Most people are happiest selecting a major and career based on their top two
motivators.

Social Passionate

Aesthetic Mainstream

Traditional Mainstream

Theoretical Mainstream

Individualistic Mainstream

Utilitarian Indifferent

- 68 percent of the population - national mean - your score Mainstream - one standard deviation of the national mean
Passionate - two standard deviations above the national mean
Indifferent - two standard deviations below the national mean
Extreme - three standard deviations from the national mean

MOTIVATOR REFERENCE GUIDE

Find your motivators on the Indigo summary page: Connecting with the top two motivators are most
important. A secondary motivator supports the first motivator; for example, a "Social/Theoretical" will use
knowledge to help people. But a Social/Utilitarian will want to help people in an efficient and results-oriented
way. A Social/Individualistic wants to help in their own way. NOTE: The third motivator might be important as
well, especially if it is above the Adult Mean. And the last motivator may be important to avoid!

Need praise and approval from others

Possible Solutions:

Fear of failure

Possible Solutions:
Set goals and establish priorities
Break large projects into small steps and do one at a time

Remind yourself that the time it takes to open "junk" mail robs you of time for more important tasks
