DISC

Dominance:  People
who score high in the intensity of the 'D' styles factor are
very active in dealing with problems and challenges, while
low D scores are people who want to do more research before
committing to a decision. High "D" people are described as
demanding, forceful, egocentric, strong willed, driving,
determined, ambitious, aggressive, and pioneering. Low D
scores describe those who are conservative, low keyed,
cooperative, calculating, undemanding, cautious, mild,
agreeable, modest and peaceful.



Influence:  People with High I scores influence
others through talking and activity and tend to be
emotional. They are described as convincing, magnetic,
political, enthusiastic, persuasive, warm, demonstrative,
trusting, and optimistic. Those with Low I scores influence
more by data and facts, and not with feelings. They are
described as reflective, factual, calculating, skeptical,
logical, suspicious, matter of fact, pessimistic, and
critical.



Steadiness (Submission in William Moulton Marston's
time): People with High S styles scores want a
steady pace, security, and don't like sudden change. Low S
intensity scores are those who like change and variety. 
High S persons are calm,  relaxed, patient, possessive,
predictable, deliberate, stable, consistent, and tend to be
unemotional and poker faced. People with Low S scores are
described as restless, demonstrative, impatient, eager, or
even impulsive.



Conscientiousness (Compliance in Marston's time):  Persons with High C styles
adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do
quality work and do it right the first time.  High C
people are careful, cautious, exacting, neat, systematic,
diplomatic, accurate, tactful. Those with Low C scores
challenge the rules and want independence and are described
as self-willed, stubborn, opinionated, unsystematic,
arbitrary, and careless with details.

A Brief History:
The DISC Classic Profile was called the DISC Personal
Profile System 2800 Series for almost 30 years.  We're not
the new kid on the block.  We're the original, the
classy "classic".  We're the folks they make the
"look-alikes" from.  In the 1990's we could provide
DISC reports with software.  In 2003, the EPIC
online internet website system changed the delivery system
completely of DISC reports and made access to them available
to everyone WITHOUT SOFTWARE!  The DISC Profile for
online assessment inventory personality tests and behavioral
profiling is based on the original work by William Moulton
Marston in 1928.  What is a Profile?  A Profile in
training or education terms, means a survey, testing,
instrument, assessment, inventory, or learning tool. 
DISC provides a nonjudgmental language for exploring
behavioral issues. It helps people explore behavior across
four primary dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness,
Conscientiousness.  It has for over 30 years now!
