What is DISC?
A behavioral framework for understanding how people communicate, make decisions, and work together.
The Basics
DISC is a behavioral assessment framework that has been used for decades to help individuals and teams understand how they naturally operate. It measures four dimensions of behavior — Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness — and everyone is a unique blend of all four.
Unlike personality tests that try to put you in a box, DISC recognizes that you express all four dimensions to different degrees depending on the situation. Your DISC profile shows you which dimensions you lean into most naturally and how that shapes the way you lead, communicate, and handle conflict.
There are no good or bad DISC profiles. Every dimension brings valuable strengths and every dimension has blind spots. The goal is awareness — understanding yourself well enough to leverage what you do best and manage what trips you up.
Why DISC Matters for Leaders
Most friction in organizations isn't about strategy or skill — it's about behavioral mismatch. The direct communicator who frustrates the team member who needs time to process. The detail-oriented manager who clashes with the big-picture thinker. The enthusiastic collaborator who overwhelms the independent worker.
DISC gives you a shared language for these differences. When a team understands each other's behavioral styles, they stop taking things personally and start adapting intentionally. That shift — from reacting to understanding — is where real team performance begins.
For leaders specifically, DISC is invaluable because it helps you understand not just your own tendencies, but how to flex your style when you're working with someone who is wired differently. The best leaders aren't the ones who have the “right” style — they're the ones who can adapt.
How the Assessment Works
Our assessment consists of 40 questions that measure how strongly you identify with behaviors associated with each of the four DISC dimensions. For each statement, you rate how much you agree or disagree on a 5-point scale.
The assessment takes about 5 minutes. Your responses are scored to produce a percentage for each dimension, giving you a 4-digit DISC score. Based on your two highest-scoring dimensions, you receive a personalized blended profile that describes your unique behavioral style in depth.
For the most accurate results, answer based on how you naturally behave — not how you think you should behave or how you act in a specific role. Your first instinct is usually the most accurate.
