With such a wide range of personalities at work, it can be difficult to understand why people behave the way they do. Through behavioral science using the DISC personality assessment, we have determined that people have 4 personality types that make up their full DISC profile. Each component of their behavior is a spectrum of varying levels of preferences and tendencies for how they naturally behave. People are not just decisive or interactive. You have to consider all four dimensions of their personality to see the full picture. To help you understand your DISC profile or a DISC profile for someone else, learn about our polar personality types that are either high or low based on 0 - 100 range.
