Everything DiSC® identifies four primary dimensions of behaviour:

Dominance - Influence - Steadiness – Consciousness

Everyone is a blend of 4 styles and has a unique behavioural style.

DiSC® styles do not identify abilities or strengths. There is no right or wrong /pass or fail. A style demonstrates priorities or behavioural style.

Each profile is based on this circumplex model but the priority words around the outside are different for each one.
