reSet Solutions specializes in the delivery and analysis of DISC Assessments.
While most online DISC profile services simply deliver a written report, reSet consults with clients to review, analyze and discuss the DISC Personality Test and how to turn it into a life changing action plan.
The DISC Assessment classifies four aspects of behavior by testing a person's
preferences in word associations (compare with Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).
DISC is an acronym for:
- Dominance - relating to control, power and assertiveness
- Influence - relating to social situations and communication
- Steadiness - relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
- Conscientiousness - relating to structure and organization
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.
- Dominance: People who score high in the intensity
of the "D" styles
factor are very active in dealing with problems and challenges, while low "D" scores
are people who want to do more research before committing to a decision.
High "D" people
are described as demanding, forceful, egocentric, strong willed, driving,
determined, ambitious, aggressive, and pioneering. Low D scores describe
those who are conservative, low keyed, cooperative, calculating, undemanding,
cautious, mild, agreeable, modest and peaceful.
- Influence: People with High "I" scores influence others through
talking and activity and tend to be emotional. They are described as convincing,
magnetic, political, enthusiastic, persuasive, warm, demonstrative, trusting,
and optimistic. Those with Low "I" scores influence more by data
and facts, and not with feelings. They are described as reflective, factual,
calculating, skeptical, logical, suspicious, matter of fact, pessimistic,
and critical.
- Steadiness:(Submission in Marston's time): People
with High "S" styles
scores want a steady pace, security, and do not like sudden change. High "S" persons
are calm, relaxed, patient, possessive, predictable, deliberate, stable,
consistent, and tend to be unemotional and poker faced. Low "S" intensity
scores are those who like change and variety. People with Low "S" scores
are described as restless, demonstrative, impatient, eager, or even impulsive.
- Compliance: Persons with High "C" styles adhere to rules, regulations, and structure. They like to do quality work and do it right the first time. High "C" people are careful, cautious, exacting, neat, systematic, diplomatic, accurate, and tactful. Those with Low "C" scores challenge the rules and want independence and are described as self-willed, stubborn, opinionated, unsystematic, arbitrary, and careless with details.
