The DISC Index Introduction
About This Report
Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common trait of
self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and this makes it easy for
them to find ways of achieving objectives that fit their behavioral style. They also understand their
limitations and where they are not effective and this helps them understand where not to go or how not
to be as well. Those who understand their natural behavioral preferences are far more likely to pursue
the right opportunities, in the right way, at the right time, and get the results they desire.
This report measures four dimensions of your behavioral style. They are:
• Decisive — your preference for problem solving and getting results
• Interactive — your preference for interacting with others and showing emotion
• Stability — your preference for pacing, persistence and steadiness
• Cautious — your preference for procedures, standards and protocols
• The Elements of DISC — Educational background behind the profile, the science and the four
dimensions of behavior
• The DISC Dimensions — A closer look at each of your four behavioral dimensions
• Style Summary — A comparison of your natural and adaptive behavioral styles
• Behavioral Strengths — A detailed strengths-based description of your overall behavioral style
• Communication — Tips on how you like to communicate and be communicated with
• Ideal Job Climate — Your ideal work environment

The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior
The Elements of the DISC-Index
This DISC-Index report is unique in the marketplace for a number of reasons. You just completed the
first ever click & drag DISC instrument on the market. This was constructed in a precise manner to allow
for ease of responses, even in the midst of many difficult decisions. This intuitive interface allows you to
focus on your answers, not the process.
Also, unlike other DISC instruments, this instrument allows you to rank all four items instead. As a result,
this instrument produces zero waste in responses. Some instruments ask you to choose two items out
of four, and leave two items blank. Those instruments have a 50% waste of terms, and do not provide
for an efficient response process. The DISC Index instrument eliminates that response problem.
Another unique aspect of this DISC-Index report is that we present the DISC aspects of your behavior
both as separate entities and as a dynamic combination of traits. This report presents the first time that
as an important learning tool as you explore the deeper aspects of DISC. Your unique pattern of DISC
traits is developed through the context of this report. Additionally, the following four pages will be
devoted to exploring your DISC scores as separate components within the unique combination of traits
that you exhibit.
A comment on contradictions: You may read some areas of this report that may contradict other text.
This is due to the fact that many of us show contradictory behaviors in the normal course of our daily
operations. Each of us are at times talkative and other times more reflective, depending on how we are
adapting our behavior. The expression of these contradictions is a demonstration of the sensitivity of
this instrument to determine these subtle differences in our natural and adaptive style.

The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior
Decisive
Your approach to problem-solving and obtaining results
The D in DISC represents Decisiveness. Your score on this scale, represented below, shows your location
on the D spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low
score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:
Higher D —
Tend to solve new problems very quickly and assertively. They take an active and direct approach to
obtaining results. The key here is new problems such as those that are unprecedented or haven't
happened before. There may also be an element of risk in taking the wrong approach or developing
an incorrect solution, but those with a High D score are willing to take those risks, even if they may be
incorrect.

Lower D —
Tend to solve new problems in a more deliberate, controlled, and organized manner. Again, the key
here is new and unprecedented problems. The Lower D style will solve routine problems very quickly
because the outcomes are already known. But, when the outcomes are unknown and the problem is
an uncertain one, the Lower D style will approach the new problem in a calculated and deliberate
manner by thinking things through very carefully before acting.
The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior
Interactive
Your approach to interacting with people and display of emotions.
The I in DISC represents Interactive. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on
the I spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score
doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:
Higher I —
Tend to meet new people in an outgoing, gregarious, and socially assertive manner. The key here is
new people whom one hasn't met before. Many other styles are talkative, but more so with people
that they've known for some time. The Higher I scores are talkative, interactive and open even with
people whom they have just initially met. People scoring in this range may also be a bit impulsive.
Generally speaking, those with the Higher I scores are generally talkative and outgoing.

Lower I —
Tend to meet new people in a more controlled, quiet and reserved manner. Here's where the key word
"new people" enters the equation. Those with Lower I scores are talkative with their friends and close
associates, but tend to be more reserved with people they've just recently met. They tend to place a
premium on the control of emotions, and approach new relationships with a more reflective approach
than an emotional one.
The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior
Stabilizing
Your approach to the pace of the work environment
The S in DISC represents Stabilizing. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on
the S spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score
doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:
Higher S —
Tend to prefer a more controlled, deliberative and predictable environment. They place a premium on
security of a work situation and disciplined behavior. They also tend to show a sense of loyalty to a
team or organization, and as a result, may have a greater longevity or tenure in a position than some
other styles. They have an excellent listening style and are very patient coaches and teachers for others
on the team.

Lower S —
Tend to prefer a more flexible, dynamic, unstructured work environment. They value freedom of
expression and the ability to change quickly from one activity to another. They tend to become bored
with the same routine that brings security to the Higher S traits. As a result, they will seek opportunities
and outlets for their high sense of urgency and high activity levels, as they have a preference for
spontaneity.
The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior
Cautious
Your approach to standards, procedures, and expectations.
The C in DISC represents Cautiousness. Your score on the scale represented below shows your location
on the C spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low
score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:
Higher C —
Tend to adhere to rules, standards, procedures, and protocol set by those in authority whom they
respect. They like things to be done the right way according to the operating manual. "Rules are made
to be followed" is an appropriate motto for those with higher C scores. They have some of the highest
quality control interests of any of the styles and frequently wish others would do the same.
Lower C —
Tend to operate more independently from the rules and standard operating procedures. They tend to
be bottom-line oriented. If they find an easier way to do something, they'll do it by developing a variety
of strategies as situations demand. To the Lower C scores, rules are only guidelines, and may be bent
or broken as necessary to obtain results.

The DISC Index Natural Style Pattern Overview
Natural Style Pattern:
Your natural style is the way you tend to behave when you aren't thinking about it. This is where you are
most comfortable (natural). This is also the style you will revert back to when under stress or moving too
quickly to be consciously thinking about modifying your behavior. Finally, this is the style you should
seek to be true to in your daily roles. Being natural will return better results with less effort and stress.
The following statements are true to just your unique natural style:
• Good organizational skills in building complex processes and following through to completion while
maintaining a positive climate.
• Has sincere interest in both internal and external stakeholders on a project.
• Very inclusive of others on the team. No one feels left out.
• Excellent team player and supportive of team efforts.
• Will not show hostility toward others, even if it is present. No good can come from creating hostility
or dissent.
• Ready, willing, and able to help others to grow and become more effective and successful.
• Persuades others by offering empathy, understanding, and friendship.

The DISC Index Adaptive Style Pattern Overview
Adaptive Style Pattern:
This is the style of behavior you adapt to when you are conscious of your own behavior, when you feel
you are being observed or whenever you are trying to better fit a situation. This is not a natural style
for you, but still one of your two styles none-the-less. In other words, it is the way you feel you "should"
behave when thinking about it. The statements below are specific to your individual Adaptive style:
• Because of your high inquisitiveness and your high sense of urgency, you may not take time for a
formal course on a subject, but yet learn on your own as much as someone who may have taken a class.
• You set an image of high goals for yourself and others and expect both to meet those goals and live
up to the image established.
• You are a strong self-starter who shows a high sense of urgency to get things done… now.
• You work long hours in creating the best solutions possible and have expectations of others to do
• You want authority equal to your area of responsibility.
• You prefer a change-oriented environment and may become bored when the pace slows or the
challenge has been conquered.
• You want to be seen as a strong individualist who likes to make your own path.
• You like to be seen as one who will take the credit or the blame, with a comment like, "The buck
stops here."
