Assessment use in organizations emerged in the mid-20th century. At first adopted by Fortune 500s, they are now common practices for many organizations. Because the assessments are generalized, the result can be extremely valuable to employers from a wide variety of industries and organizations. Success is intricately connected to self-awareness and understanding of others.
DISC is one of the most popular behavioral assessments. It is simple, easy to remember, focusing on understanding the needs of self as well as adapting style to be more effective with others. The DISC assessment identifies four types: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. In describing the differences between the behavioral types, the tool emphasizes the uniqueness of each type and while expanding upon what is needed and expected by the behavioral type. Communication between and among types improves when an understanding of others based upon their type is achieved. It is through understanding ways to adapt to different behavioral types that tension is reduced and increased cooperation and trust in relationships can be built.
When the DISC assessment is combined with the Values assessment, individuals become aware of how behavioral types are influenced by what is valued. The results from the values assessment helps individuals better understand their value hierarchy and belief systems and how these two components interact to filter and guide decisions toward more effective relationships with self and others. Through building a greater understanding of the value dimensions in general, it becomes easier to see how they influence and guide behaviors to interact more successfully with all interactions.
The DISC Certification Program is offered in three 2-hour training sessions. A workbook with practice graphs and support material is provided. Candidates are required to demonstrate proficiency in delivering a DISC-Values debrief for completion of the program
