FAQ

What You Need to Know

How long does it take to complete the assessment and how long does it take to receive it once completed?

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.

Who can use DiSC? Small/large businesses, individuals etc?

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.

What is the method of assessment, online or paper-based?

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.

How do I know if my profile is a good fit for my team?

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.

What can I expect from my team after they do DiSC?

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.

There are many versions of DISC. What makes Everything DiSC stand out?

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! 

What’s the best job for each DiSC style?

You might think that Dominance types are suited to leadership roles, Conscientiousness will thrive in accounting professions, Steadiness types perform well in Human Resources and Influence types are star performers in the arena of sales, but this is not always the case. This is because DiSC style is no indication of skill or job suitability.  People may be drawn to particular roles because they appeal to their preferred behavioural tendencies, however DiSC should never be used to predict job suitability or pigeon hole people to particular industries.
