"June 2020 – Disc Personality Test"

1
  Disc Personality test

The DISC test is based on the model developed by psychologist William Marston for
behavioral assessment. It classifies how we express emotions into the four behavior types of DISC:

1. dominance (D)
2. influence (I)
3. steadiness (S)
4. conscientiousness (C)

Understanding which behavior type motivates you and others to take action and make
decisions enables you to navigate relationships, collaborations, and conversations with others better.
Once you understand that main trait that governs your and others’ behavior you can tailor your words
and actions and guide those of others to achieve better results together.

The DISC test offers these insights for your candidates by asking them to conduct a self-
evaluation by scoring each of 48 statements from 1 (very inaccurate) to 5 (very accurate). The way
candidates score these statements shows their preferences for each type of behavior in the DISC
model: dominance (D), influence (I), steadiness (S), and conscientiousness (C). Candidates can sit
squarely within one of the four main behavioral types or exhibit a combination between one type and
one of its two adjacent ones, giving a total for 12 possible outcomes.

The results page gives the type of each candidate and a general description of their behavioral
type. It then gives provides insights into how each type behaves in their personal relationships and at
work and describes their best traits and main challenges. Finally, the report offers tips for effectively
communicating and working with that type, as well as suggested questions to use in an interview.
