ASSESSMENT
DISC online assessment is an invaluable behavior profiling system that teaches you how to identify— and use to your advantage— the predictable aspects of communication. Based on the research of Dr. William Moulton Marston, DISC is the most widely used behavior profiling assessment of its kind, supported by decades of research and validation. Whether you’re part of a large Colorado Company or small organization, our DISC reports offer the greatest accuracy for a range of dynamic business applications.
WHAT IS DISC?
DISC focuses primarily on four dominant behavioral types:
Dominance – These are forceful, take-charge people: direct, decisive, determined and often domineering. They’re born leaders who are neither shy nor subtle.
Influence – The friendly, enthusiastic High “I” styles want to be in the middle of the action, whatever and wherever it is. They most value admiration, acknowledgement and applause.
Steadiness – Steady styles are the most people-oriented of the four styles. Having close, friendly relationships is one of their highest priorities.
Conscientiousness – “C” styles are analytical, persistent, independent and well organized. They prefer to work quietly alone, emphasizing accuracy and “correctness.”
