What is DISC?

We use the proven DISC Personality model as a tool to jump start understanding and have meaningful conversation. 

What is DISC?

 “D.I.S.C.” is an acronym or term that was introduced by American psychologist Dr. Willam Marston in the late 1920’s. He developed a personality model based on the ideas of four main behavioral traits that he referred to as Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance (hence “D.I.S.C.“). That behavioral model gained attraction for practical industrial use in the workplace. DISC has since been used by a number of companies who have since leveraged the concept for use in many areas. 
 

What is a DISC Assessment?

A DISC assessment is a quick and simple way for you to determine your personality style. You answer a questionnaire where there are no right or wrong answers – just your choices based on how you see yourself. A DISC Assessment is also commonly called a DISC test or a personality test. We do not prefer to call it a personality test, because it is not a pass or fail situation. Again, there are no right or wrong answers – just choices that you make.

These DISC assessments are based on 24 groups of descriptive words that are presented to you to think about and make choices. It only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the assessment. Your online personality assessment is tallied and used to create a personality profile report ( also known as a DISC Profile) that will tell you all about yourself!

What is a DISC Profile?

A DISC profile is a personalized report that is created by our system based on the answers you provided in your DISC assessment. It provides insights about your personal strengths, your preferences in communication and your behavioral traits. DISC profile reports are available that range from concise formats (6-pages) to extended formats of 30-50 pages or more of feedback. Our profiles are carefully designed to be positive and encouraging to help you be your best!

What makes a Personality Profile unique from other DISC-based personality profiles?

Personality Profile are distinguished from other DISC personality profiles available on the market by offering the following important features:

  • You will receive positive, personalized feedback. We want you to be encouraged after you read your report, so the language we use is uplifting and helpful.
  • You will be encouraged in your strengths. You will better understand the value you have on a team and as an individual.
  • Your report will not label you in a simplistic manner. Many reports on the market give feedback based on only the 4 major personality traits. Your profile goes much further by emphasizing your unique BLEND of traits. Our technology is based on 41 specific blends of personality traits. Therefore, you get in-depth feedback while still having the advantage of the easily understood DISC model.
  • You will not be labeled as having particular weaknesses or “blind-spots.” No assumptions will be made about areas that you need to grow in. Instead, we identify areas to consider in order to be your best without being critical. This is, perhaps, the most unique aspect of our approach.
  • We offer high value in the quality of the feedback given. We know that there is a wide range of prices available for personality reports in the market. Our approach is to offer reports that are both positive and practical, so we have invested heavily into our report processor system. Our content database is very extensive and has required many years to develop. Thus, our focus has not been to have the lowest price products. Our focus has been to offer the best personality reports with the highest value.

How does DISC compare to Myers Brigg, Enneagram, and other types of indicators? 

We have chosen to use DISC because we have found that it is more easily applied and remembered in the team and workforce environment.  MBTI (Myers Brigg Type Indicator) and the Enneagram are more introspective and helpful when learning about yourself.  At Team Verve our main focus is on team growth and workforce development. We have chosen to use the DISC model because we have found that is a good framework for understanding and working with a team of people. We place emphasis on individuals learning about and understanding the team members that are very different than themselves. 


How is DISC used on a team?

At Team Verve in NYC we use DISC as a tool, a language, and to be others-focused on a team.  It can be put to work in many different ways to improve communication, build trust, and boost team performance. What do we mean? Here are a few practical tools..Read more
