Personality Profiling (DiSC)

Unlock Team Potential with DISC Personality Profiling

Have you ever wondered why you can’t seem to get on with a coworker? Why do they do the things they do? Are your projects falling behind because of difficulties between team members? Is there conflict bubbling up, or even out in the open? Such conflict and misunderstanding is inevitable in the workplace.

DISC provides a common language by which teams can bridge their differences, and improve their communication and efficiency.

What is the DISC Personality Profiling Assessment?

The DISC theory was first proposed in 1928 by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist. He proposed that there were four forms of emotional expression: Dominance (D), Influence (I), Submission (S), and Compliance (C). These four types stemmed from people’s perceptions of themselves in relation to their surroundings. It wasn’t until the 1940s that an assessment was made to categorize people into the four behavioural types.

The DISC assessment is now used by businesses worldwide to help their employees gauge how they and their teammates handle conflict, how they communicate, and the motives behind their actions.

Those with this personality are confident and bold. They are all about accomplishing goals and tasks that improve the company’s bottom line.
These people are good at networking, building relationships, and persuading others.
People with steadiness enjoy collaborating and cooperating with others and are often team-oriented.
These people depend on their competency and expertise to produce accurate, high-quality work.

Unlock Your Leadership Potential with DISC Profiling

DISC profiling empowers corporate middle managers with valuable insights into their own and their team members’ behaviors. This self-awareness, combined with an understanding of preferences, contributes to a more harmonious and productive work environment, ultimately benefiting staff engagement, productivity, relationships, and promotion prospects within the corporate landscape.

Four key benefits of personality profiling

The DISC assessment gives you a better understanding of how you deal with conflict, your motivations, what causes you stress, how you communicate, and how you solve problems. You walk away with a smaller blindspot by identifying your problematic tendencies, and you can inform coworkers on how best to engage and communicate with you.
Leadership naturally involves working with others. DISC helps you to understand the personalities and preferences of those you lead. This will allow you to then flex your style effectively to improve both engagement and productivity.
Managers learn how to navigate conflicts by understanding the root causes based on personality differences. This promotes a more harmonious work environment. With DISC personality assessment, your team’s conflicts can become learning opportunities to grow closer and improve results.
DISC helps you to better understand and communicate with team members. Through common understanding, you will be more likely to be on the same page, thereby completing projects on time and to quality. DISC is also a great tool for recruitment, building consciously balanced and complimentary teams for improved collaboration.

DISC personality profiling assessments can be carried out and debriefed with individuals, but also for teams through the “Group Dynamics”  profile. This not only gives individual insights around how you operate with your strengths and weaknesses, but also how your personality profile fits in with the group. This is essential insight both to know how you fit in, but also whether the group as a whole has particular strengths and weaknesses that may need addressing. 

 

As you become familiar with DISC personality types, you can also start applying its lessons to others in your environment: internal clients, and external customers. You become able to identify their personality types, improving your communication as you understand their preferences and inclinations.
