A DISC Profiling System identifies the behavior characteristics of an individual. The DISC Profiling System is based on four areas of influence including:

1. Dominance - the person's ability to get their point across in a challenging environment, which range from Passive to Aggressive. They can be competitive, aggressive, decisive and results orientated. They can at times be impatient, overbearing, rude, not good listeners and prone to making snap decisions.

2. Influence - Their ability to persuade others, people rating high are friendly and suited to customer service or sales. They are talkative, sociable, optimistic and lively, however, they can be inattentive to details, overly talkative and emotional.

3. Steadiness - They like to remain in one job and don't like a lot of change or variety, this is a good trait for data entry jobs. They are calm, helpful, patient and modest but can require stability and security. They can also be indecisive and stubborn.

4. Compliance - Their ability is to follow rules. They are a stickler for regulations and guidelines and have little flexibility. This is good for auditing, standards or accreditation. They are precise and logical, analytical and careful. They can get lost in analysis and can possibly be critical, distant or pessimistic.

Most people are a blend of two of the above personality traits. Different personality traits have different benefits for different roles in the organizational. The key is to get the right personalities in a team, with each individual working in roles reflective of their personality traits.

The system gives a clear understanding of the following:

• What the person thinks of themselves

• How they work under stress

• What their natural working style is

• What working style they are trying to be

• It will give an indication of the ideal position for the candidate

• How the candidate will work in their new environment

• If there are variations in the DISC results and the meeting, it may indicate that the person knows how to get though the meeting in order to get the job, pay rise etc. and they may have overstated their abilities. If this is the case, then the person may not be appropriate for that role.
