Understanding DISC
DISC is the leading personality assessment tool, used by over 50 million people.
What Is DISC?
Have you ever wondered how people can react so differently to the exact phrase—no matter how you meant to say it?
Despite your best intentions, underlying issues such as tension, disappointment, hurt feelings, and unrealistic expectations can permeate even the most innocuous conversations. Luckily, there is a way to prevent this miscommunication—The Four Temperament (DISC) Model of Human Behaviour.
DISC is the leading personality assessment tool, used by over 50 million people. It promotes increased communication skills for individuals, teams, and leaders. DISC allows us to understand and celebrate our differences and achieve better human connection.

The DISC Model can be used in any context, including:
Corporate and Government
Nurture inclusivity and boost satisfaction in the workplace

The origin of DISC:
real-world scenarios
In 1928, Dr. William Marston of Harvard University wrote a paper called “The Emotions of Normal People.”
In it, he put forward the idea that people have four intrinsic motivations that, in turn, help form specific personality traits. Even when you mean to say one thing, the recipient hears another. Our personality traits influence how we see and process the world around us – and every one is unique.
Here are the four motivations:
- Direct
- Inspiring
- Supportive
- Cautious
Certain personalities share characteristics
While everyone is unique, we can group shared characteristics to understand better how people are motivated and behave. By recognizing your own personality and the personalities of those around you, it’s easier to understand why people act the way they do.
You can act in different ways and forge more positive, healthy relationships through increased understanding.
