The Universal Language of Behavior: DISC

Have you ever felt like you were a deer caught in the headlights, or lost in translation when trying to communicate with someone? If so, you’re not alone. The way we communicate can be a complex and confusing thing, especially when we’re dealing with people who have different communication styles.

That’s where DISC comes in. DISC is a personality assessment tool that helps people understand their own communication style and the styles of others. It’s based on four main personality types: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.

Each of these personality types has its own unique way of communicating. Dominance types are direct and assertive, while Influence types are outgoing and expressive. Steadiness types are calm and reliable, while Conscientiousness types are organized and detail-oriented.

When we understand our own communication style and the styles of others, we can start to communicate more effectively. We can learn to speak each other’s “language” and avoid misunderstandings. This can lead to better relationships, both personal and professional.

So how can you use DISC to improve your communication skills? Here are a few tips:

  • Take a DISC assessment to learn your own personality type.
  • Learn about the other four personality types.
  • Pay attention to the way people communicate.
  • Adjust your own communication style to match the person you’re talking to.

Using DISC can help you become a more effective communicator. It can help you build better relationships, resolve conflicts, and achieve your goals.
