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
Your response pattern, Sallymar, indicates that you tend to be considerate of others, and that you are able to persuade
them in an assertive manner, without being demanding. This can be an asset to the team, especially on complex
projects in which different types of people may be involved.
Sallymar, you show the ability to be both people-oriented and detail-oriented, with equal skill and confidence. This is a
rare and valuable skill, as it allows you to enlist the help of a wide variety of people who may not ordinarily work well
together, and focus their efforts in the same direction.
You score like those who bring an appropriate balance between logic and emotion when communicating to others. Your
"people skills" and natural ability as a communicator enable you to respond quickly on your feet, and maintain a positive
climate of communication.

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.

Your Behavioral Style: Assessor
Assessors apply creative focus to practical, workable concepts and make them doable. They display
competitive and results-oriented interactions but engage others with persuasion rather than through
aggressive methods. They are good at explaining their ideas and the steps required to reach their goals. They
are organized and often have a step by step action plan to assure a good result. They can be quite verbal in
stating their dissatisfaction and in criticizing others who are not contributing.
Below are some key behavioral insights to keep in mind and share with others to strengthen your relationships.
Emotional characteristic: Strong desire to look good to others.
Goals: To win and to win with style.
How others are valued: By their ability to trigger action and activities.
Influences group: Acknowledgement of others' competitive ideas.
Value to the organization: Players who work through others.
Cautions: Can overstep bounds of authority and be overly clever.
Under Pressure: Can become overly critical and impatient with others.
Fears: Looking bad in the eyes of other people and/or not being viewed as a winner.

Summary of Sallymar'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.

The Aesthetic Motivator: Strong desire and need to achieve equilibrium between the world around us and ourselves (within)
while creating a sustainable work/life balance between the two. Creative, imaginative, arty, mystical and expressive, this style
may redefine or resist real world approaches to current challenges.
Universal Assets:
• You likely believe creative people waste time and are too focused on non-essentials.
• You are not likely to connect with impractical ideas emotionally or professionally.
• You are a strong advocate of productivity and functional processes, and don't want to waste resources on things
that don't effect the bottom line.
• You may view "feeling good" as a secondary and not a primary driver at work.
The Economic Motivator: The motivation for security from self-interest, economic gains, and achieving real-world returns on
personal ventures, personal resources, and focused energy. The preferred approach of this motivator is both a personal and a
professional one with a focus on ultimate outcomes.
Universal Assets:
• People who score like you not only compete with others; they compete with themselves.
• Sales, technical, or management training programs must demonstrate a bottom-line gain as a result of your
participation.
• You are typically interested in what makes logical sense and gives a greater return for your efforts.
• When it comes to getting what you need, you likely believe the end justify the means.
The Individualistic Motivator: Need to be seen as autonomous, unique, independent, and to stand apart from the
crowd. This is the drive to be socially independent and have opportunity for freedom of personal expression apart
from being told what to do.
Universal Assets:
•
•
•
•
You are not one to steal the spotlight or gain excessive recognition.

The Power Motivator: Being seen as a leader, while having influence and control over one's environment and
success. Competitiveness and control is often associated with those scoring higher in this motivational dimension.

13
The Altruistic Motivator: An expression of the need or energy to benefit others at the expense of self. At times,
there’s genuine sincerity in this dimension to help others, but not always. Oftentimes an intense level within this
dimension is more associated with low self-worth.
Universal Assets:
•
•
•
•
You'll likely see certain people as a means to any given end.
You will be difficult to take advantage of most of the time.
You will protect your own turf at times and want to qualify people you don't know.
You may view others as "in your way" as opposed to "on your side" in certain situations.
The Regulatory Motivator: A need to establish order, routine and structure. This motivation is to promote a black
and white mindset and a traditional approach to problems and challenges through standards, rules, and protocols
to color within the lines.
Universal Assets:
•
•
•
•
You think in terms of, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out," when dealing with unruly children.
You may believe "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."
You'll hold others to your standards and may become vengeful when people break your rules.
You usually color within the lines and expect others to do the same.
The Theoretical Motivator: The desire to uncover, discover, and recover the "truth.” This need to gain knowledge for
knowledge sake is the result of an “itchy” brain. Rational thinking (frontal lobe), reasoning and problem solving are
important to this dimension. This is all about the “need” to know why.
Universal Assets:
•
•
•
•
Knowledge isn't the most important thing to you.
You might know something and not know why you know it.
You will likely depend more on intuition than getting caught up in theory.
You might appreciate technical support in areas where you have limited understanding.
