DiSC

DiSC is an acronym for the four dimensions of personality and behavior. The four "primary emotions" and their associated behavioral responses were originally identified by the pioneering psychologist William Marston in 1928. His research still stands today and is used in Inscape Publishing's DiSC model to identify the four primary styles of personality and behavior, known as Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. DiSC Profiles are most effective when used in conjuction with other Profiles and learning instruments to determine an individual's skills, strengths, and to identify areas of personal and organizational growth as it relates to the workplace environment.

DiSC learning instruments have been utilized as tools for helping individuals and organizations better understand personality and behavior for over three decades. More than 40 million people worldwide have experienced these transforming resources that create an environment which fosters success in companies worldwide.

By gaining a clear understanding of the four dimensions of behavior, D-i-S-C, you and your organization will be empowered with a language of communication and time-tested information that can improve your business in the areas of:
