Respondents should try to provide instinctive answers to the Everything DiSC questions, focusing on the perspective of: “Who am I?” If this approach is followed, it should take approximately 12-20 minutes to complete an Everything DiSC Workplace assessment. This timing could vary, depending on the type of profile and the adaptive testing approach of the assessment. The respondent’s profile report is available as soon as they have completed questionnaire. They can be given immediate access to the report by the administrator, or it can be withheld by a facilitator, for example, until the date of a team DiSC debrief session. With the new Catalyst platform for Everything DiSC, respondents see their DiSC Profile in the online platform as soon as they have completed it.

The Everything DiSC profile range has been successfully used by organisations of all sizes and has also been used with individuals as part of a coaching program. Any situation where increased understanding of self and others can lead to improved communication and team work is an ideal application for Everything DiSC.

The Everything DiSC assessment is administered via an online portal. The assessment utilises adaptive testing technology, which means that the questionnaire adapts to the variance in a respondent’s answers. This provides for a more accurate and personalised profile report.

The Everything DiSC profile establishes some “Cornerstone Principles,” such as: all DiSC styles are equally valuable; every individual is a blend of all four primary styles; and you are more than just your DiSC style. No DiSC Profile is better than any other DiSC Profile. The aim all using DiSC is to create self-awareness and provide strategies for self-management. As each person uncovers where they sit on the DiSC map and what this means in relation to the rest of their team, the intended result is that the strengths and limitations of each style are identified, understood and respected. Individuals are also equipped to adapt their behaviour to the needs of other team members and, in doing so, to create more effective workplaces one relationship at a time.

DiSC is a valuable tool for creating engagement in an organisation from the bottom, up. Participants in a DiSC session will be provided with resources to enable them to take ownership of their working relationships, and to better understand their own needs and how those differ from others. As they become aware of how to meet their needs, and the needs of their colleagues, through the work they do, we would expect to see enhanced trust, respect and openness among team members. A significant body of research exists to show that increased levels of trust and collaboration in an organisation has a notably positive effect on business results.

DiSC is particularly effective at creating a common behavioural language in an organisation or team. The profile uses objective, neutral terminology to enable team members to talk about how their behaviour is perceived and affects the dynamics of the team. It is important that this language is kept alive by incorporating it in team meetings, one-on-ones with leaders, performance reviews and the like. In addition, tools such as the Everything DiSC Comparison Report and the Catalyst online platform support teams to keep the DiSC culture alive by enabling colleagues to compare their behavioural styles and learn practical tips for interacting more effectively in common, work-day scenarios.

Great question! The short answer is, no they are not all the same. The DiSC assessment has been around since the 1950s. Wiley Workplace Learning Solutions have invested significant resources and research to develop the tool into a modern, scientifically valid and reliable instrument. The backing of an academic publishing powerhouse like Wiley has certainly taken DiSC to places where it’s never been before!

EPIC, or the Electronic Profile Information Center, is the online platform that is used to administer the Everything DiSC and Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team profiles. Intégro can create an EPIC account for your organisation, which will allow you to send out assessment links to participants; generate profile reports; and track profile usage data, among others. EPIC uses a credit system, which is effectively the currency of the platform. Credits can be purchased from Intégro and will then be deducted from your account according to the type of profile generated.

The Everything DiSC assessment is not designed to measure situational behaviour – it measures aspects of personality which are quite stable. Research conducted by Wiley found that when people completed the Everything DiSC assessment focusing on themselves at home and then a second one on when they’re at work found that over 85% of people got the same result. Yes, we feel different at home to what we do at work and it is natural that we would also behave differently as we adapt to different environments. But personality is much more stable than situation behaviour, and that is what Everything DiSC measures.
