DISC
The DISC concept is based on William Marston's theories, which describe that people possess one or more personality types (styles):
(D) Dominance: This describes a person who is direct, determined, is a problem solver, a person who takes risks, and who takes the initiative.
(I) Influence: This describes a person who is enthusiastic, optimistic, persuasive, talkative, impulsive, and emotional.
(S) Steadiness: This describes a person who is good at listening, a team player, stable, predictable, understanding, and kind.
(C) Compliance: This describes a person who is accurate, analytical, conscientious, careful, accurate, careful, and systematic.
Research has shown that behavioral characteristics can be grouped into these four overarching groups, which are called personality types (styles). People with the same personality type show a tendency to exhibit behaviors that are common to this type. Most people have both a primary type and a secondary type but still move to various degrees within each of the four types.
