About this test

DISC describes four styles of behavior: Dominance (direct, results first), Influence (outgoing, persuasive), Steadiness (patient, supportive) and Conscientiousness (accurate, careful). The model goes back to the psychologist William Moulton Marston, who described four patterns of emotion and behavior in his 1928 book Emotions of Normal People. Others later turned his ideas into workplace questionnaires.

The statements here were written for cv.cm. This is not Everything DiSC or any other commercial assessment and has no link to their publishers; DiSC is a registered trademark of its owner. DISC is widely used in training but is less well supported by research than the Big Five, so use your result to start a conversation, not to make hiring decisions.

FAQ

What do the four DISC letters stand for?

D is Dominance, I is Influence, S is Steadiness and C is Conscientiousness. Some versions use slightly different words, but the four styles are much the same.

How is the DISC result worked out?

Each style has five statements, scored 0 to 4. Your result is the style with the highest score, and the bars show all four. If two styles tie, the page names both.

Which DISC style is best?

None. D gets things moving, I brings people along, S keeps a team steady and C keeps the quality high. Good teams need all four, and most people use more than one.

Is this the official DiSC assessment?

No. It is a free, independent test based on the same public idea. Commercial reports are longer and have their own scoring, so your result there may differ.
