DISC is the four quadrant behavioral model based on the work of William Moulton Marston Ph।D. (1893 - 1947) to examine the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation. DISC looks at behavioral styles and behavioral preferences.
DISC is an acronym for:
Dominance - relating to control, power and assertiveness
Influence - relating to social situations and communication
Steadiness (submission in Marston's time)- relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
Conscientiousness (or caution, compliance in Marston's time) - relating to structure and organization
I had done this test during nyp school times. We were all amazed by the result because it was so accurate! During our trip one day , seowling talked about the DISC again. I remembered I was a "S" person. It was so true that "S" people is introvert and they usually mask their true emotions. In other words, whether these folks are experiencing a great deal of personal strife or just won the lottery, their behaviors offer few clues to their inner feelings. (This is also why we tend to get misunderstood by people without us knowing why). The plus side of "S" people - These folks have a need to serve and help other people (they get energy from serving). The High S tends to be very loyal and they prefer the status quo to sudden change. This loyalty causes them to maintain business and personal relationships for long periods of time. People who are low on the S factor would tend to be more visibly emotional people, prefer a faster paced-environment.
