Introduction
The DiSC Personality Assessment is a personal development tool that offers insight into a person’s priorities, motivators, and stressors. It offers information on the DiSC personality types, helping to better understand a person’s behaviours. Additionally, the DiSC Personality Assessment offers insight into the styles of others, and provides tips on how to work effectively with all DiSC personality styles, by facilitating the understanding of what their motivators and stressors are.
We all have a unique workstyle, whether we are aware of it or not. While we tend to know our strengths and weaknesses to a certain extent, the DiSC also provides insight into our stressors and motivators and offers tips on how to better communicate and interact with the various styles.
Objectives
- To improve work productivity, teamwork, leadership and communication;
- To measure personality and behavioural style;
Note this assessment does not measure intelligence, aptitude, mental health or values
