DISC Profiling
The DISC Test
First, let’s deal with terminology.
The DISC is commonly called the DISC Test. The word ‘test’ is a misnomer. ‘Test’ implies that there is a ‘fail’ or ‘pass’ result which is definitely not the case. There are no right or wrong results.
DISC Profiling is a more accurate name but, for the sake of everyday language, and because it is such a widely used name, we decided to call this system the DISC TEST!
Essential Tool
The DISC Test is an essential tool in the search for organisational and personal success. Administered more than 100 million times, the DISC Test allows individuals to identify and maximise their talents, and it allows organisations to select and develop the right people for every role.
Originally developed in the 1920s by psychologist and educational consultant William Marston, DISC testing has since been refined and validated by many eminent psychologists, social scientists and HR professionals. Today it is considered to be the preeminent workplace assessment tool.
The DISC Model
Some people believe that using the DISC Model to describe personality is an over-simplification. Before coming to such a conclusion please consider this…
“There are only three primary colours and yet they allow us to produce every single colour, tone and hue in the world”.

DISC Control Panel
The DISC Test Questionnaire
The DISC questionnaire consists of 28 sets of four multiple choice statements and takes around 10-15 minutes to
complete. The test-taker is asked to choose one ‘Most Like’ them and one ‘Least Like’. They are asked to be
spontaneous and relaxed.
This style of questionnaire is called ‘self-reporting’.
A self-reporting questionnaire (also called a self-report questionnaire) is a tool that asks people to answer questions about themselves, rather than having someone else observe or assess them. They are widely used in psychology, healthcare, education, workplace research, and market research.
