I was pleased to receive a DISC Technical Supplement with the profile (I was able to download at no charge from their website). IML has the most recent validation and reliability study on the market which was conducted by Texas State University and Dr. Price. There are other DISC products on the market but this one by far is the easiest to use and the most reliable.The DISC Personality System - Enhance Communication and Relationships

I used this DISC system for a self-discovery training at work. It's a very useful version, because it provides several different assessments, and a wealth of information on all of them, even cross-assessments (people that might border or fit into more than one category). The assessment itself is a little quirky with the graph, but once people caught on, the results were enlightening.

The information itself is fantastic. However, what I was looking for was a test with a way to figure out your personality style. Yes, there is a test, but the instructions for how to determine your personality style did not make sense in any way. I was unable to use it for a class I was teaching on learning your personality style, so my opinion is that I totally wasted my time in researching this product as well as my money.

I was introduced to the DISC test via my affiliation with Keller Williams Realty of South Easton, MA. The DISC test is given to people who want to work for or with KW on their first one or two meetings. It helps the Team Leader identify a potential candidates "wiring" to see how they might fit into the organization, what their hidden talents might be, and how they can be matched with a coach. I became so fascinated with the initial test that I sought more information on the subject and have read several other books that delve deeper into the subject. This book is one of them! I found it a fascinating read from the beginning. The content and impact of the information applied has had a huge impact on my understanding other's behaviors and motivations, and subsequently enhancing and improving communication with buyers, sellers, co-brokes, colleagues, family friends...well, just about everyone you come into contact with. The detailed examples make it a quick and easy read for anyone--from children to adults (yes, I had my kids take the test and read it as well =-) I LOVE IT and highly recommend it to you!

A straight forward copy of the DISC personality divisions. It is helpful in dealing with co-workers.

I used this with my leadership team and then with our staff. Everyone found the insight enlightening. After 3 months, we are still talking about it. Coupled with other Disc tools, we have used this format to significantly improve communication within our organization.
