DiSC® Behavioral Profiles have evolved from line graphs to a circular graph.
> 
For over thirty plus years, the DiSC® Classic Model has been used to help people understand themselves and others.
Just as personal and ganizational needs continue to evolve, so do the ways in which the DiSC® Profiles can be measured and presented.
Inscape has developed a new approach to measuring DiSC®, moving away from the line graph used in the DiSC® Classic© products, to a more contemporary circle graph which is used in the Everything DiSC® Profile Line.
The Inscape Circumplex model closely resembles the earliest representation of the DiSC® Model as described by William Moulton Marston, the pioneer of DiSC® theory. Marston’s depiction of DiSC® was presented as a circle on a color wheel, which illustrated the fluid nature of behavior. By illustrating an individual’s DiSC® style with a dot on a circle graph, participants can quickly see where they fall on the DiSC® Continuum in comparison to other DiSC® Styles. It also provides a more visual representation of the differences and similarities among the styles.
DiSC® Circle – Benefits to YOU:
- The Circular representation of the DiSC® graph provides a new way to understand and apply DiSC®. The circle illustrates the blend of behaviors and better reflects the flow of personality styles – the result is a more intuitive and memorable representation of the DiSC® Model.
- Shading on the circular graph shows the areas where an individual might easily adapt, flex or modify in a specific situation, and areas that may require a person to stretch some behaviors.
- The Circle also allows the DiSC® Facilitator to quickly assess the composition of a group. Group Reports present the entire team as individual dots on the circle map. This information enables the facilitator to quickly identify the implications of the dynamics of group-culture.
The “Priority” words around the perimiter of the circle map provide an easy and memorable way for participants to appply their DiSC® knowledge to daily life. Instead of learning about DiSC® theories, participants can quickly grasp the relevance of their DiSC® styles to their own personal and professional goals and objectives.
The Scoring Process for Everything DiSC®:
The scoring in the Everything DiSC® products is more precise. With Everything DiSC® Profiles, participants assess themselves based on 79 questions, rated on 5-point scale.
Below is agraphic view of what the Everything DiSC® response form looks like:
Respondents plotting points are weighted on 8 scales, (D, Di, I, IS, S, SC, C or CD) This allows respondents more freedom to answer in a way that best describes them. The circle graph helps people to visually interpret relationships while realizing patterns in group dynamics.
The Line graph depiction of the DiSC® Classic Model, using the traditional 4 scale forced choice scoring process is still viable and useful, and will continue to be available.
