Computation of DISC Profiles

DISC profiles are computed using a series of questions that measure an individual's tendencies and preferences — Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. The process involves the following steps:

1. The individual answers a questionnaire that consists of various behavior-related statements.
2. Each answer is assigned a value which corresponds to one of the DISC dimensions.
3. The values from each dimension are then added together to provide a total score for each DISC dimension.
4. These scores are then plotted on a graph to create the individual's DISC profile.

Evaluation of Intensity for Style and Percentage in Graphs

Intensity in a DISC profile is determined by the distance of a point from the center of the graph. The further away from the center, the more intensity, or preference, for that specific behavioral style. The percentage in graphs is the measure of how often one exhibits a certain behavior out of the four DISC dimensions.

Keep in mind that DISC assessments are not definitive, but serve as a tool to understand an individual's behavioral preferences and tendencies. It's important to use these results in a constructive and positive way to foster personal and professional growth. A certified DISC trainer or HR professional can help interpret these results most accurately and meaningfully.
