The "DISC" Model of Human Behavior

There are two predictable tendencies of behavior that are part of our basic DISC personality style as shown in the diagram below.

Tendency #1 is our Pace where we are on a scale between being more Outgoing (top of the diagram) or more Reserved (bottom of the diagram).
Tendency #2 is our Priority where we are on a scale between being more Task-Oriented (left side of the diagram) or more People-Oriented (right side of the diagram).

The 2 tendencies can be combined to create 4 quadrants which represent the four main personality styles. We refer to these personality types by the letters, "D," "I," "S" and "C." We use descriptive words for each of the DISC personality styles to help understand each type as you will see below. "D" stands for the DOMINANT Type which is Outgoing and Task-Oriented. "I" stands for the Inspiring Type which is Outgoing and People-Oriented. "S" stands for the Supportive Type which is Reserved and People-Oriented. "C" stands for the Cautious Type which is Reserved and Task-Oriented.

Remember: Each person has a blend of ALL four personality traits to a greater or lesser extent.
