Things to Remember about the Personal Analysis
Based on the DISC model
This is not a test The analysis has NO right or wrong answers, but there are 24 forced-choice questions which are challenging
It is a behavioral inventory based on self-evaluation and designed to clarify in what order and relation to others an individual prefers the areas
of the four-quadrants
Measures your natural behavioral styles or natural reaction mode in different
situations The report shows who you actually are, not just who you think you
need to be in your current work environment
Extended DISC Personal Analysis
Does NOT measure intelligence, experience,
professional skills, ability or attitudes
Does not limit a person's ability to develop in another direction or work environment Everyone has the ability to adjust their behaviors
- our style should not be used as an excuse for us or for other
people
Not just a “pretty picture” report – shows things we like to see
about ourselves, things we may not necessarily like, and things
we may be unaware of (our blind spots)

to make an impact on your performance
• Items that you agree with generally do not generate a change in your behavior
• “What is the compelling reason to change?”
Considerations When Faced with Push Back
If individual disagrees with certain statements in the report, ask him/
her to:
• Consider the statements in various contexts, especially in new situations
• Consider if the statements used to be true until s/he consciously worked on
these areas of development
• Have other individuals provide feedback on the statements Often we are blind to certain aspects of our own style while others see them clearly
• Set the statement aside and return to it later after having a chance to
reflect on the entire report
• Disregard the statement Again, no assessment can provide 100 percent
accurate statements every time Focus on the big picture
Items that you generally agree with tend not to initiate change Need a compelling reason to change Strong statements in the report are designed to identify blind
spots and illicit change

• We overlook our strengths We need to
recognize and utilize them
• We take strengths for granted “Everyone
can do that.”
• Stress, pressure and fatigue are the enemy
of behavioral modification
• “I’m successful! Why change?”
Numbers are not scores, but indicators of energy
Someone with a blended style (2-3 styles) may have
a tighter distribution than someone with one style who may have more extreme distribution (“hot spots”)
