What is DISC — and Why It Matters
DISC is a proven behavioral assessment that reveals how you prefer to communicate, make decisions, and approach challenges. In just 10 minutes, you gain insights that can improve collaboration, reduce conflict, and increase productivity — whether you’re leading a company, managing a team, or working to advance your own career.
How It Works
DISC identifies four primary behavioral styles:
- D – Dominance (results-driven, decisive)
- I – Influence (persuasive, people-focused)
- S – Steadiness (supportive, dependable)
- C – Correctness (detail-oriented, analytical)
You’ll discover where you naturally excel, where you may face friction, and how to adapt your style to get better results with others.
Why Organizations Use DISC
- Creates a common language for communication across all levels
- Increases self-awareness for leaders and employees
- Helps teams work with less conflict and more trust
- Improves hiring, onboarding, and role alignment
- Enhances leadership development and succession planning
Whether used for individual coaching or team workshops, DISC is a fast, practical way to unlock better performance.

PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
When you’re looking for your next hire, this assessment will provide you with the necessary requirements to look for in your candidates. The evaluation best matches the candidate to the job and helps set them up for success. Learn how to help coach and inspire your employees while diving deep into developing them for their role.
What sets Extended DISC® apart from other profiling tools is that it provides an assessment of both conscious and unconscious behaviors giving new levels of insight into the responses or learned behaviors we try to use to be successful in the work environment (including meeting implicit cultural expectations). It also shows us how our inherent styles either match or mismatch situations and expectations in the workplace (revealing indicators of tension/stress and task, role and workplace fit).
Being able to separate these two profiles leads to a deeper understanding of what shapes our decisions and provides a powerful opportunity to interrupt habitual patterns with more considered responses allowing for greater success in a number of workplace arenas.
Pre-employment screening and hiring assessments have become an indispensable tool for assessing “Right Fit” and successful employee development in the workplace. The right employee screening process is key to finding and retaining your most talented personnel. Research reveals the effectiveness of data-driven recruitment and people analytics. Extended DiSC® provides a user-friendly, validated suite of hiring tests and tools to maximize your ROI per employee.
TEAM ASSESSMENTS
Extended DiSC® has a model and development program that guides intact teams through a course to improve in five different areas that are key to productive team dynamics. The essence of the five behaviors is trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. This assessment will evaluate the team’s dynamic across the behaviors in order to help members decide what improvements are necessary.
Extended DISC® is validated – and periodically re-validated – around the world to insure reliability and accuracy.
