DISC Birds: A Fun and Memorable DISC Training

The DISC Birds assessment takes the insights of DISC and offers them in a memorable format: Bird Types.

While it might initially seem unusual, it’s a clever way to lower the barrier to discussing personality differences.

The assessment uses the standard 28-question DISC questionnaire, where learners will self-identify answers about their behaviors and preferences. Don’t worry; this profile has been validated and researched for accuracy by the ASI. You can learn more about the research on our website.

After completing the self-assessment, a learner will learn their DISC Style, err DISC Bird:

Eagles are time-sensitive and move at a quick pace. They prefer to spend their time getting things done and being efficient.

People with the Parrot style seek social interactions. They are a strong presence, stimulating, and entertaining. Enjoy their liveliness and socialability.

The Dove Style is relationship-oriented. Due to their relationship-focused style, they will seek to solicit opinions from the larger group to build stability and cohesion. 

People with the Owl Style seek to be accurate and precise in their work and lives. They are often organized and systematic. They need time to make decisions and prefer to work independently.

What does the DISC Birds cost?

Interested in bringing the DISC Birds to your organization or team? This fun and memorable training tool will increase self-awareness and improve communication.

DISC Birds for Leadership Training?

Like other DISC Assessments, you can use the DISC Birds profile for leadership development.

The DISC Birds assessment won’t tell you if someone is a leader. Rather, it will help your leaders understand the style that they will most likely use in a leadership position. Each DISC Birds style is important and adds value to any organization.

The DISC Birds profile showcases how leaders both need to learn their behavioral strengths and when leaning on those strengths might become a weakness.
