Understand Why PEOPLE Do What They Do And Say What They Say!
DISC is a worldwide favorite, four-quadrant, needs-motivated personality style model. WHY? Because it is...
All DISC profiles are based on what Dr. William Marston a 1920’s psychologist and self -help author, included in the research in his book, "Emotions of Normal People". DISC came, by design, from Marston's search for measurements of the energy of behavior and consciousness. Marston did not develop an assessment or test from his model, although others later did.
DISC represents the four behavioral descriptors Dr. Marston identified in his research of why “normal” people do what they do. His book "The Emotions of Normal People" revealed people’s patterns of behaviors and how these can predict one's needs-driven motivators. The amount of energy one typically invests in four areas of life, based on what's of interest to them, makes up their style pattern - or "DISC".

No one is limited to their DISC style, because we all operate from each of the DISC dimensions and in differing levels of intensity depending on the situation we are in. The key is to know which one or two behavioral styles shows up most often to others. And then knowing ourselves so well that we can stand confidently in our most comfortable style and its strengths, in all our daily business or personal interactions.
