Understanding the basics behind behaviors

DISC is a behavioral assessment tool that measures an individual's Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.

The highs and lows of DISC refer to an individual's natural tendencies or preferences in each of these four behavioral styles.

👉 Dominance (D):

⬆ A person with high D tends to be assertive, competitive, and results-oriented. They are often direct, decisive, and goal-driven.

⬇ A person with low D tends to be more reserved, cautious, and cooperative. They may be more inclined to listen and take direction from others.

👉 Influence (I):

⬆ A person with high I tends to be outgoing, optimistic, and sociable. They often enjoy being around people and thrive on social interaction. They are typically creative, enthusiastic, and persuasive.

⬇ A person with low I tends to be more introverted, reserved, and reflective. They may be more comfortable working independently or in smaller groups.

👉Steadiness (S):

⬆ A person with high S tends to be patient, dependable, and cooperative. They are often good listeners, and they value harmonious relationships. They may be more methodical, cautious, and detail-oriented.

⬇ A person with low S tends to be more assertive, decisive, and task-focused. They may be more willing to take risks and prioritize achieving results over maintaining relationships.

👉Compliance (C):

⬆ A person with high C tends to be analytical, detail-oriented, and precise. They often value accuracy, quality, and thoroughness in their work. They may be more cautious, systematic, and process-driven.

⬇ A person with low C tends to be more flexible, adaptable, and open to new experiences. They may be more willing to take shortcuts or improvise when necessary.

Each person has a unique blend of these four behavioral styles, and we can display different levels of each style depending on the situation.

Understanding your DISC profile can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, communicate more effectively with others, and adapt your behavior consciously to different situations for better connections.
