Description of DiSC
DiSC or the Personal Profile System (PPS) is an instrument which measures surface traits or characteristic ways of behaving in a particular environment. It is based on William Moulton Marston’s theory of traits model developed in 1929 and explains how normal human emotions lead to behavioural differences among people as well as to changes in a person’s behaviour in different situations. The system theorised that human behaviour could be studied on a bipolar model according to people’s perception of their work environment as favourable or antagonistic and their perception of being more or less powerful than their environment. This system explores behaviour across four primary dimensions. DiSC has 4 measures - each representing one of 4 types of behaviours: D - Dominance, I - Influencing/Inducement, S - Steadiness/Submission, C - Conscientiousness/Compliance The DiSC system has four scales represented graphically for each of the four adjectives above, collectively called a person’s profile. There are 15 classical profile patterns, each representing a popular pattern of most and least characteristics. The DiSC system has been designed for improving communication in the workplace. Its applications range from enhancing customer service, sales training, reducing stress, and improving relationships between employee and managers and enhanced organisational development.
Relationship between Insights Discovery & DiSC
DiSC based models are distributed by several different companies. Due to the vast number of providers it is difficult to show a direct comparison, however, reviewing descriptions of the four dimensions of DiSC we can hypothesise they are loosely correlated with the Insights Colour Energies as follows: D - Fiery Red I - Sunshine Yellow S - Earth Green C - Cool Blue Insights Discovery Profiles are highly customised to the individual and contain extensive descriptive text and graphs for clarity. The language used in the Discovery Profile is simple, and the model clear, ensuring accessibility to a wide variety of clients. In the DiSC system, descriptions of each letter of the acronym DiSC convey the DiSC model. Some programs use colour, but the colours are not consistent across the DiSC range of providers. DISC is used extensively in recruitment procedures by organisations, based on the assumption that certain traits are likely to make an individual more or less suited to certain jobs. The Discovery Profile can be used to support recruitment processes however Insights philosophy is an individual’s potential is not bound by their personality. To perform in any job an individual will need to adapt and draw on different colour energies depending on the context; however the ability to draw from different colour energies can be nurtured and developed through self-awareness. For those with an investment in DiSC, Insights Discovery is a “complementary add” that can leverage their current investment.
