What is DISC Profiling?

And why should you utilise it in your workplace?

What is DISC Profiling?

DISC is a behavioural profiling system that helps individuals and teams understand their communication and behavioural styles. It is based on the concept that people have four distinct behavioural styles, each with its own unique strengths and challenges. By identifying and understanding these styles, individuals, and teams can improve their communication, productivity, and collaboration.

What is DISC Profiling?

Here are the four behavioural types used in DISC profiling:
Dominance (D):

People with a dominant behavioural style are assertive, decisive, and results-oriented. They are typically confident and competitive, and they value efficiency and productivity. They tend to be goal-driven and enjoy taking charge of situations. However, they may come across as impatient and aggressive and may sometimes overlook the feelings of others.

Influence (I):

People with an influential behavioural style are outgoing, persuasive, and social. They enjoy interacting with others and thrive in social situations. They tend to be enthusiastic, optimistic, and creative and value relationships and teamwork. However, they can also be impulsive and talkative and may sometimes struggle with focus and follow-through.

Steadiness (S):

People with a steady behavioural style are supportive, patient, and loyal. They tend to be empathetic and value harmonious relationships. They prefer stability and predictability, and they are often reliable and consistent. However, they can also be indecisive and resistant to change and may sometimes struggle with assertiveness.

Compliance (C):

People with a compliance behavioural style are analytical, detail-oriented, and precise. They tend to be methodical and systematic in their approach to tasks, and they value accuracy and quality. They are often organized, focused, and good at managing complex projects. However, they can also be overly critical and perfectionistic and may sometimes struggle with flexibility and adaptability.

It’s important to note that most people exhibit a blend of these behavioural styles, with one or two styles being predominant. By understanding their own style and the styles of others, individuals and teams can learn to adapt their communication and behaviour to better work together and achieve their goals.

DISC profiling is a valuable tool for personal and professional development, as it helps individuals and teams gain insights into their strengths and challenges and learn how to communicate and work more effectively. Whether you are a leader looking to build a high-performing team or an individual looking to improve your communication skills, DISC can help you achieve your goals.
