What Is DiSC?
DiSC is a behavioral assessment tool used worldwide by businesses, non-profit companies, government agencies and independent coaches to help people learn to work together more effectively. One of the most important questions about any assessment is: how well does it measure what it claims to measure? And more appropriately “how reliable is this tool”?
Reliability and Validity
Psychological instruments are used to measure abstract qualities that we can’t see–like intelligence, honesty, extroversion or introversion. How are DiSC assessments validated? It can be tricky.
Validation is the process through which researchers assess the quality of a psychological instrument by testing the tool against different standards. This post is designed to help you understand these different standards DiSC assessments are extensively researched and tested over time to maintain the highest standards of instrument development and application through very careful research and development processes.
Studies indicate Everything DiSC is a highly reliable tool and valid in terms of statistical analysis and in terms of actual feedback from people with first-hand, real-world experience.
