What is the DISC?
The DISC Behavioral Assessment has a high degree of face validity as evidenced by research conducted by Dr. Russell J. Watson.
A study of face validity conducted by Dr. Russell J. Watson, Wheaton College substantiated the perceived accuracy of the DISC reports with a 89% average and a standard deviation of 6.43%. This confirms what behavioral researchers have discovered, that different styles see the world in different ways and the DISC is a valid instrument for measuring that affect.
The DISC can help you gain insight into your own behaviors and others, including the management of:
- Problems and challenges—Dominance (D factor)
- People and influencing of others—Influence (I factor)
- Change and pacing yourself at work—Steadiness (S factor)
- Rules and procedures set by others—Compliance (C factor)
How does the process work?
After you register, you’ll receive a letter with directions for accessing your online DISC assessment. Prior to the consultation session, you’ll take this 30-minute exercise, which will result in a detailed, comprehensive report (approximately 20-25 pages long) giving you information about how you interact with others as well as style indicators for other people’s behaviors.
After completing the DISC, staff from UI Learning & Development will contact you to arrange for your consultation. Consultations can be done over the phone (we can call you.) At the 1.5 hour consultation session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the DISC language. What is your natural style, and what adaptations do you make in your environment? You’ll also receive ideas for applying your DISC in your life through goal-setting.
What are the benefits of learning and applying the DISC?
- Gain commitment and cooperation
- Build effective relationships and teams
- Resolve and prevent conflict
- Gain endorsement and support
- Increase motivation and sales or resources
