DISC Test (Behavioural Profile): What It Measures and Your Score
The DISC model, derived from the work of William Marston, describes 4 dominant behavioural styles: Dominance (results/control orientation), Influence (relationship/persuasion orientation), Steadiness (cooperation/consistency orientation) and Compliance (rigour/quality orientation). Widely used in business for communication, management and team cohesion, this test sheds light on your natural reactions and your relational levers. You can also put this into words with Psy Lounge, an AI specialized in CBT.
In the article that follows, I explore your behavioral profile. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a DISC test that helps you take stock of your dominant behavioral style. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.
What the test measures
- Results orientation, taking control, taste for challenge and quick decision-making.
- Relationship orientation, enthusiasm, persuasion and social expression.
- Cooperation orientation, consistency, patience and need for security.
- Rigour orientation, quality, analysis, respect for rules and standards.
How to read your score
The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:
- Weakly marked profile: The tendencies measured are low or balanced.
- Nuanced profile: Moderate tendencies emerge along the various axes.
- Assertive profile: Clear tendencies structure the way you function.
- Highly assertive profile: Dominant, strongly structuring tendencies stand out.
