What is a DISC Personality Assessment?
The DISC Personality Type model is most effective when teams, individuals, and organizations use the language of DISC to help explain their needs and motivations. It allows organizations to become more open and inclusive and helps individuals feel more connected.

What are the four DISC Personality Styles?
DISC was theorized in 1928 by William Moulton Marston. He recognized that you could categorize people into four different types or styles. Marston didn’t see people stuck inside of these types.
Instead, in his book The Emotions of Normal People, he describes personality as a color wheel with one prominent color that blends into the other three colors.
Marston’s theory has gone through many language changes since its inception. However, the four unique styles remain the foundation of the DISC Assessment Profile that we offer today:
Dominance
The D Personality Type stands for Dominance.
Individuals with this style seek to control their future and accomplish any challenge in front of them. Don’t mistake their result-oriented attitude for a lack of empathy. They may lose sight of the more relationship-oriented needs of the other styles, but they do still care for others.
Influence
The I Personality Type stands for influence.
Often, you can identify these individuals because they are friendly and talkative. Individuals with this style may come across as flighty or flaky; however, they are the glue that holds teams together.
Steadiness
Calm and collected. The S Style maintains a level of stability that gives them their style’s name: Steadiness. When times are tough, you can depend on individuals with this style to listen and offer support.
Conscientious
The C Personality Type stands for Conscientious. Many people mistake this style as being shy. While they are often reserved – they aren’t afraid to speak their mind, they are waiting for the opportunity to display their accuracy and knowledge of a subject, and they will maintain a position when they know they are right.

How Does DISC Compare to Other Personality Assessments?
The power of DISC is that it offers a simple model without being simplistic.
DISC doesn’t aim to put someone into a box of one of the 12 Personality Types. Instead, the goal is to use the descriptions from the model to understand someone’s perspective. Through DISC, you can gain a clearer picture of someone’s motivations. This more precise picture makes it easier to connect and work with someone you might have had difficulty working with before.
Personality assessments are becoming more common to help professional organizations improve communication and interpersonal relationships.
DISC is one of the longest-studied and used assessments, and we wanted to outline how it compares to other popular assessments available to help improve interpersonal relationships and communication.
DISC and the Big 5 Personality Traits
In the early 2000s, researchers from a number of academic institutions wanted to develop a model that would capture the most common personality features. The model they developed was called the Five-Factor Model (or the Big 5 Personality Traits).
DISC measures the following comparable traits to the Big Five Personality assessment:
- Extraversion
- I Personality Types = High Extraversion
- C Personality Types = High Introversion
- Agreeableness
- D Personality Type & C Personality Type = Highly inclined towards Skepticism
- S Personality Type & I Personality Type = Highly inclined towards Accepting
While these traits showed a high correlation with these Big Five Traits, it’s important to note that the descriptions offered by each tool are still unique and highlight different aspects of personality.
DISC and 16 Personalities / Myers-Briggs Types
The Myers-Briggs and the 16 Personalities assessment is based on the work of Carl Jung’s psychological types. While separate assessments with different research and ownership, both assessments measure a person based on a set of individual scales which produces 16 different personality types (16 Personalities measures 5 scales, MBTI measures 4 scales).
Below are the DISC Personality Types that show a strong correlation with the Myers-Briggs scale:
- Introverted / Extroverted Scale = C Personality Type / I Personality Type
- Thinking / Feeling Scale = D Personality Type / C Personality Type & I Personality Type / S Personality Type

DISC Frequently Asked Questions
This question will be answered differently based on which country you are asking it!
Social norms often dictate personality. If a society praises cooperation and criticizes independence, you will likely see more of the I-Style and S-Style and less of the D-Style and the C-Style.
In the United States, the D-Personality Type is the rarest of the four DISC-Styles.
No. DISC and Myers-Briggs are two different assessments that measure different aspects of your personality.
However, DISC and Myers-Briggs both measure the traits of extraversion and agreeableness.
If you take the Myers-Briggs assessment and receive an "E" for extraversion, you will likely receive a D-Style or an I-Style on your DISC assessment.
