DiSC® Personality Profiling
Understanding Oneself and Others
Overview
The Personal Profile System® is designed to help individuals understand their own behavioural characteristics more clearly, as well as the behaviour of others.
This is achieved by combining a paper questionnaire and computer technology to provide an accurate analogy of an individual through DiSC®.
The results can be used to help in a wide range of training applications within an organisation.
The website, Dimensions of Behaviour , provides more information about DiSC® and downloadable sample reports.
Methodology
DiSC® is a non-judgmental language for exploring behavioural issues.
It enables people to explore behaviour across four primary dimensions:
- Dominance - relating to control, power and assertiveness
- influence - relating to social situations and communication
- Supportive - relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
- Conscientious - relating to structure and organisation

These four dimensions can be grouped in a grid with D and i sharing the top row and representing extroverted aspects of the personality, and C and S below representing introverted aspects. D and C then share the left column and represent task-focused aspects, and i and S share the right column and represent social aspects. In this matrix, the vertical dimension represents a factor of "Assertive" or "Passive", while the horizontal represents "Open" vs. "Guarded".
