BEHAVIORAL TEST OR BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

DISC is a four quandrant behavioral styles test and model based on the work of William Moulton Marston, Ph.D that measures the behaviors of individuals in their environment.

The four quadrants of behavioral styles test are
D for Dominance, Drive, Direct;
I for Innfluence or Inducement;
S for Steadiness, Stability or Submission;
C for Compliance, Conscientious, or Cautious.

Since that time, DISC has undergone many adaptations. Today there are
8 classic personality categories with
52 specific personality patterns within these.

My initial experience was to do a personality test to see where I want to be in my career path and what degree would best help me succeed in the business world. The test reinforced the idea of finance and that a degree in that field would be my best course of action. These tests help me to better understand myself and realize why I do some of the things that I do. It also showed that I was able to go back to school. It encouraged me, and kept me going class after class.
