UNDERSTANDING DISC & MOTIVATORS
DISC STYLES
DISC is a simple, practical, easy to remember and universally applicable model. It focuses on individual
patterns of external, observable behaviors and measures the intensity of characteristics using scales of
directness and openness for each of the four styles:
Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientious.
Adapted Style
Natural Style
You take calculated, educated risks only after a thoughtful analysis of the facts and data, and after you have examined
all options and potential outcomes. This is a strength. However, when the team has a deadline, you could be perceived
as a bottleneck to the process. Not maliciously, but because you want to analyze the facts and data and determine all
possible outcomes as a result of a decision. Be aware of this, and be prepared to abbreviate the analysis a bit when the
clock is ticking.
Your score pattern indicates that you tend to maintain a keen awareness of time. You tend to be on time or early for
appointments, and expect the same consideration of your time from others. It annoys you when certain people are
perpetually late, or when meetings drag on with no assigned time to end.
Your response pattern on the instrument indicates that you appreciate the security of efficient systems and procedures,
and strive to maintain or improve them to the highest possible standards. This also might mean that you spend more
time thinking about various processes and procedures than others on the team, and as a result, may act as an oracle for
those who are uncertain. They ask you because they know you'll have the correct answer, but you may wonder why
they didn't learn the correct procedure in the first place.

WORD SKETCH - Adapted Style
DISC is an observable “needs-motivated” instrument based on the idea that emotions and behaviors are neither “good” nor “bad.”
Rather, behaviors reveal the needs that motivate that behavior. Therefore, once we can accurately observe one’s actions, it is easier
to “read” and anticipate their likely motivators and needs.
This chart shows your ADAPTED DISC Graph as a “Word Sketch.” Use it with examples to describe why you do what you do and what’s
important to you when it comes to (D)ominance of Problems, (I)nfluence of People, (S)teadiness of Pace, or (C)onscientiousness of
Procedures. Share more about the specific needs that drive you in each area of FOCUS. If your DISC intensity scores at levels 1 and 2,
your emotions and needs are the opposite of those at Levels 5 and 6 in that area.

Summary of rochelle's Motivation
Values
Score/Ranking
Percentile Score
1. The lightly colored, shaded area for each Motivator highlights the majority of the population’s scores. This
means that if you took a normal sample of motivator scores and ranked the scores from 1 – 100, you can
expect that a majority of the scores would fall inside the shaded area. This indicates if most of the population
scores higher or lower in the dimension. Are you similarly driven in your Motivators as most others are?
2. The norm box (small box plot) represents the AVERAGE scoring range. The scores inside this box represent the
scores of people who are more like everyone else (therefore, it is considered normal). When your score falls inside
the norm box, it is situational; you consistently ranked the statements of that dimension both high and low.
3. The line in the center of the box plot represents the median score. Like the median in a road, the median
divides the range of scores into equal halves. 50% of the scores are above the median line and 50% of the
scores fall below the median line.
4. The colored bar is aligned to your score from 1-100. These reveal the level of importance of that motivator to
you. Higher numbers mean you consistently ranked the motivator as more important & lower numbers mean
the motivator was consistently ranked less important. The number also reveals placement in Very Low, Low,
Average, High and Very High. The people who score within each group share common traits and descriptions
(i.e. those who have Very Low scores will share common values with one another).
5. Your ranking reveals how influential the Motivators are to your behavior and decisions in order from 1-7.
Keep in mind that some Motivators have relationships with other Motivators that strengthen them, but this is
a true 1 through 7 ranking based on which are individually most impactful.
