DISC Analysis

ASSESSMENT OF WORKPLACE BEHAVIOUR

DISC is a web-based, on-line questionnaire that can assess the person's individual working behaviour style. Leaders can better understand their colleagues and potential candidates with the support of the questionnaire results. It helps workers to recognise their own strengths and areas of opportunities. It takes 15-20 minutes to complete the DISC survey. Then, a 15-20-page personalised report, analysis with text, will be generated by the system on the basis of these results. A BM - motivations, values questionnaire can be an excellent supplementary tool for the DISC questionnaire. The developer of both DiSC profile questionnaires: Maximum Potential / Essential Insights.
