Everything DiSC® Assessment Tool – $100
Everything DiSC is the premier adaptive behavioral style assessment used by over 45 million people globally. Unlike other DiSC assessments, Everything DiSC is the original DiSC developer with over 40 years of expertise. We offer a proven, scientifically validated assessment with a 90%+ accuracy rating from learners worldwide.
Learners respond to behavioral statements on a five-point scale to measure their preferences and tendencies based on the DiSC model—a simple, yet powerful model that describes four basic behavioral styles: D (Dominance), i (influence), S (Steadiness), and C (Conscientiousness).
The results of the assessment are translated into a proven solution that actively develops those hard-to-learn social and emotional skills—all through the lens of each learner’s unique DiSC style.
Learners will receive lifelong access to DiSC resources. A link will be sent one month prior to the course.
