3.17. Psychometric test – DISC Personality Profile

The DISC Profile is a nonjudgmental tool for understanding behavioural types and
personality styles. It helps people explore behaviour across four primary dimensions:

There are many ways of evaluating an individual's skills or approach, and predicting
their likely behaviour from the results. At one end of the scale are fairly simple tests
designed to evaluate specific skills and abilities. At the other end of the scale lie batteries
of personality tests, designed to build a complete picture of a person's style and
approach, in general terms, as possible.

Dominance: To the point, decisive and bottom line oriented. These people tend to be
independent and results driven. They are strong-willed people who enjoy challenges,
taking action, and immediate results.

Influence: Optimistic and outgoing. They tend to be highly social and outgoing. They
prefer participating on teams, sharing thoughts, and entertaining and energizing others.

Steadiness: Empathetic & Cooperative. These people tend to be team players and are
supportive and helpful to others. They prefer being behind the scene, working in
consistent and predictable ways. They are often good listeners and avoid change and
conflict

Conscientiousness: Concerned, Cautious & Correct. These people are often focused on
details and quality. They plan ahead; constantly check for accuracy, and what to know
"how" and "why".
