What is DISC Personal Profiling?
The DISC personal profile is a psychometric tool. It
consists of a series of 24 forced-choice questions, which takes approximately
7-8 minutes to complete. You need to select one adjective most like
you and one least like you per line. The profile is based upon your perception of
yourself in your work environment.
There are no right or wrong answers, and you cannot pass or
fail. Also, there are no good or bad qualities, as each person possesses
strengths and limitations.
All personalities have a
combination of four core personal styles:
|
Dominance |
Influence |
Steadiness
|
Compliance |
|
Driving
Competitive
Self-starter
Forceful
Inquisitive |
Influential
Persuasive
Friendly
Positive
Communicative |
Dependable
Deliberate
Amiable
Good listener
Kind |
Careful
Systematic
Precise
Logical
Accurate |
The DISC profile can measure how you solve problems and respond
to change, how you influence or persuade others, how you react to rules and
regulations, and how you are motivated.
By
completing a DISC personal profile, you will
gain a greater self awareness, improve your communication skills and achieve
personal success.

How was it created?
DISC personal profiling
was created in 1928.
The American psychologist Dr William Marston developed a theory to explain
people's emotional responses. In order to test his theories, Marston needed a
way of measuring the personalities he was trying to describe. So he decided to
develop his own test to measure four important factors. The factors he chose
were Dominance, Influence, Steadiness
and Compliance, from which DISC takes its name. He extensively studied
the characteristics, patterns and responses of thousands of people and
published his findings in a book, The Emotions of Normal People. This
included a description of the test he had developed.
How valid is it?
The personal profile analysis system has received a
Certificate of Registration from the British Psychological Society. This
confirms that it meets all psychometric requirements for use as a
psychological tool.
