The D.I.S.C. Personality Model
The DISC Personality behavioral model explores one's behavior style based on their personality and the situations one finds themselves in. DiSC® Classic is a nonjudgmental assessment developed through research and repeated validation with the purpose of helping people with the skills to their and others' understanding behavioral styles and personality types.
DiSC uses a four quadrant model that looks at your primary dimensions:
Dominance: Direct and Decisive. These people tend to be independent and results driven. They are strong-willed people who enjoy challenges, taking action, and immediate results. The bottom line is their focus tends to be on the bottom line and results.
Influence: Outgoing and Optimistic. These individuals tend to be very social and out going. They prefer participating on teams, sharing thoughts, and entertaining and energizing others.
Steadiness: Stability and Status Quo. These people tend to be your team players and are supportive, cooperative and helpful to others. They prefer being behind the scene, working in consistent and predictable ways. They are often good listeners and avoid change and conflict
Conscientiousness: Cautious. These people are often focused on details and quality. They plan ahead, constantly check for accuracy, and what to know "how" and "why".More info:
