DiSC is a plan to understand self and others. 

Behavioral Patterns

All of us have developed behavioral patterns: distinct ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. The central core of our patterns tends to remain stable because it reflects our individual identities. However, the demands of the work environment often require different responses that evolve into a work behavioral style.

The DiSC Classic Profile

The DiSC Classic Profile presents a plan to help you understand yourself and others in a specific environment. You are the central focus as you heighten understanding of your style and identify the environment most conducive to your success. At the same time, you learn about the differences of others and the environment they require for maximum productivity and harmony in the work organization.

Four dimensions of behavior, thousands of unique patterns

The DiSC model identifies four dimensions of normal behavior:
(Click on the buttons to hear representations of each)

Dominance: People with a high "D" behavioral tendency seek to shape their environment by overcoming opposition to accomplish results.

influence: People with a high "i" behavioral tendency seek to shape their environment by influencing or persuading others.

Steadiness: People with a high "S" behavioral tendency seek to cooperate with others to carry out their tasks.

Conscientiousness: People with a high "C" behavioral tendency seek to work within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy.

There are 2041 possible combinations of these four dimensions of behavior when plotted on the 7-segment DiSC Classic graph. Human behavior is complex and we are each unique. But an understanding of each of the four dimensions and the intensity each plays out in our personal style can go a long way toward building successful relationships at work and at home.

Toward a more successful work style

DiSC Classic is not a test. You cannot pass or fail. There isn't a best pattern. Research evidence supports the conclusion that the most effective people are those who know themselves, know the demands of the situation, and adapt strategies to meet those needs. In summary, DiSC Classic enables you to:

• Identify your work behavioral style
• Create the motivational environment most conducive to success
• Increase you appreciation of different work styles
• Identify and minimize potential conflicts with others
