How To Use DiSC Profiles
HOW TO USE A DiSC BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT
Many DiSC Behavioral Profiles To Fit Varying Needs
Many different types of a DiSC Behavioral Profile are available, from core personal awareness to profiles that address specific needs - such as sales styles and management styles.
The foundation of the DiSC Profile system is the DiSC Classic Profile. Because of the deep self-awareness it creates, it is the most used DiSC Behavioral Assessment. We recommend it as an ideal starting point for most new customers. It is available both as an online generated profile and a paper booklet format.
Generating An Individual DiSC Behavioral Assessment Report
In order to generate a DiSC Behavior Profile, an individual DiSC Test must be completed.
The DiSC Classic Profile questionnaire is 28 questions that uses word or phrase associations. It is easy to complete, and generally requires about 15 minutes.
Scoring An Individual Report
DiSC Behavioral Profiles are "self-scoring" - meaning that you don't have to wait for the results and you don't require interpretation by a specially trained person.
The paper booklet versions of DiSC Profiles have scratch-off answers (like a lottery ticket), and easy scoring instructions. The result is a general key that describes different aspects of behavioral styles, and guides the respondent to understanding of their behavioral style.
The online versions of DiSC Behavior Profiles have many advantages. The questionnaire is completed on a secure website, and the website automatically scores the results. The profile is immediately delivered in Adobe PDF format (easily saved and printed). The Online DiSC Reports include helpful expanded personal narratives that give the respondent much more information that is specific to their behavioral style.
Unless internet access is unavailable, we highly recommend the online report versions.
The Power of Group Reports
When implementing DiSC in a team environment, group reports (also called "Facilitator Reports") provide a detailed analysis of the team - common strengths, weaknesses, gap analysis and recommendations for managers and trainers to get the greatest results from the team as a whole.
Group reports are only available in an online format. To utilize a group report, each team member must have ordered and completed an individual profile, also in the online version.
Maximizing Value With Training
Everything DiSC Training Kits (or "Facilitator Kits") are available for all DiSC and Other Profiles. We highly recommend that organizations implementing DiSC into their culture obtain and utilize the training kits. Training Kits include fully scripted seminars, PowerPoint presentations with supporting handouts, and detailed trainer materials. Some even include DVDs with modular training footage that helps train more effectively.
