What is DiSC

“DiSC is the universal language of observable human behaviour”

 - The Universal LanguageTM by Bonstetter, Suiter & Widrick

DiSC was first espoused by Dr William Marston in 1928 as a behavioural model with 4 emotional and personality traits. DiSC stands for Dominance, influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness.

What is the DiSC Assessment

In usage today, DiSC is recognised as a self-assessment, psychometric tool, the first such tool being published in 1956 by William Clarke. It tells individuals their behavioural styles.

Isnt DiSC the same as other psychometric tools

No! What makes DiSC different to other psychometric tools is that we can teach your people to read the behavioural styles of any people they meet outside of the organisation. This is possible because DiSC is based only on observable behaviours. So what? See next…

So what

The ability to read the behavioural styles of people they meet in real time enables your people to adapt to their style thus increasing rapport. For salespeople especially, this means they can alter their pitch to suit the buying style of their prospect, thus increasing their chances of clinching the sale. DISC profiles UK’s emphasis on this business aspect of DiSC differentiates us in the marketplace.
