About the methodology
The DISC model was developed by William Moulton Marston in his book 'Emotions of Normal People' (1928). Marston proposed that human behavior is determined by two axes: active/passive and perception of the environment as favorable/antagonistic.
Combinations of these axes form four types: D (decisive, results-oriented), I (sociable, inspiring), S (patient, reliable), and C (analytical, precise). Since the 1970s, the model has been actively developed by Wiley (Everything DiSC), Thomas International, and TTI Success Insights.
DISC-based instruments have been validated in dozens of studies with hundreds of thousands of respondents. Today, DISC is used by over 75% of Fortune 500 companies for recruitment, team building, leadership development, and conflict management.
