Overview of D.I.S.C.

D.I.S.C. Theory of Behaviour In Brief

Have you ever wondered what makes people 'tick'? Why people do the things they do? And why you, act and react the way you do? Well, you're not alone. These questions have fascinated humanity for millennia. Now, you can discover the answers and with your new understanding and the clarity you need you will be a more effective communicator with other people. You can know what to say and how to say it in any situation to achieve the best win-win result for everyone. Understand your internal DNA of success programs. Learn to read and understand other peoples internal DNA programmed success style.

D.I.S.C. model is based on the work of Dr. William Marston done during the 1920's and documented in his book 'The Emotions of Normal People'. Target Training International (TTI) has advanced the model and tested it worldwide while developing the amazing Managing For Success™ computer software. The software analyses your responses to a simple 10 minute questionnaire and produces a 20+ page report that is in plain language and full of amazing insights into your behaviour style. The reports clearly show you your DNA of Behaviour Style.

Dr. Marston did a unique thing, for a Doctor, he studied success. He studied 'normal healthy behaviour'. Most Doctors study disease and abnormality. Dr. Marston wanted to discover how to recognize and honour the natural abilities and talents of the healthy human being. Marston discovered that the behaviour of all human beings can be divided into four basic dimensions, Core styles, all of varying intensity: Most important to note how all four factors (and their intensities) relate to each other.

This chart is an overview of the four Core styles identified by Dr. Marston and some of the key traits identified by him and further research done over the years. The basic concept introduced over 80 years ago has been studied, verified, tested, and advanced by many researchers since the original model was defined by Dr. Marston. No one is only one style. Everyone is a unique combination of all four styles, although we tend to have one or two stronger than the others creating a Core or dominant style.

The D.I.S.C. measurement system analyses these four factors and reveals one's strengths and potential weaknesses, one's actual behaviour and tendencies toward certain behaviour. By understanding yourself and others potential behaviours, you will be better able to achieve success in any situation-- on the job, at home or in society at large.

D.I.S.C. is one of the most popular tools ever used to measure and analyse human behaviour. Since the early 1970's, it has been used to screen, hire, manage, train, counsel, and coach more than 20 million individuals throughout North America.

While other instruments exist which are longer, more expensive and more complex, none are as easy to administer, interpret, more accurate or as economical as Managing For Success™ software. Other systems offer only 15, 16 or 103 basic personality style types. This D.I.S.C. model has been advanced dramatically and verified to offers over 336 unique style combinations, which means to you more specific, accurate and useful information to manage with. TTI software from Software for the Mind yields more useful information per dollar and minute spent in using it, than any other system.
