DISC Behavioral Style Indicator

The CriteriaOne® DISC Behavior System is the universal language of behavior. Everyone has an observable and recognizable behavioral style. Style can be described as "how" people approach the 4 P's of every day living. In other words how do people approach Problems, influence and interact with People, handle the Pace, and follow rules and Procedures.

What do the letters D-I-S-C stand for?

People with similar behavioral styles tend to exhibit specific characteristics common to that profile. The acronym DISC stands for the four personality styles represented by the letters:

Direct:  how people approach Problems

Influence:  how people influence other People

Steadiness: how people approach Pace

Compliance:  how people approach Procedures

CritieraOne DISC identifies and describes these behaviors and how each style is seen by others in a work environment. It uses a model of behavior developed by William M. Marston known as DISC. Marston's model has been tested, proven accurate and effective with millions of people for more than 40 years.

Individuals respond to the 4 Ps with different levels of intensity and energy. These factors may work independently or in tandem with the other behavioral factors. The interrelationship of these factors describes how an individual responds to situations and interactions in a work environment. CriteriaOne DISC puts in writing how an individual's DISC behavioral style may impact their performance at work.

The report generated by this analysis is designed to help individuals and management achieve a better understanding of this person's behavioral style. It will provide helpful insight into the individual's behavioral strengths as well as areas in need of possible improvement. The P4 report can also be used to develop strategies and methods to help individuals increase their personal flexibility in working with clients, managers, peers, and staff.
