 The DISC Index Introduction

About This Report

Research conducted by Innermetrix shows that the most successful people share the common trait of
self-awareness. They recognize the situations that will make them successful, and this makes it easy for
them to find ways of achieving objectives that fit their behavioral style. They also understand their
limitations and where they are not effective and this helps them understand where not to go or how not
to be as well. Those who understand their natural behavioral preferences are far more likely to pursue
the right opportunities, in the right way, at the right time, and get the results they desire.

This report measures four dimensions of your behavioral style. They are:
Decisive your preference for problem solving and getting results
Interactive your preference for interacting with others and showing emotion
Stability your preference for pacing, persistence and steadiness
Cautious your preference for procedures, standards and protocols

 The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior

The Elements of the DISC-Index

This DISC-Index report is unique in the marketplace for a number of reasons. You just completed the
first ever click & drag DISC instrument on the market. This was constructed in a precise manner to allow
for ease of responses, even in the midst of many difficult decisions. This intuitive interface allows you to
focus on your answers, not the process.

Also, unlike other DISC instruments, this instrument allows you to rank all four items instead. As a result,
this instrument produces zero waste in responses. Some instruments ask you to choose two items out
of four, and leave two items blank. Those instruments have a 50% waste of terms, and do not provide
for an efficient response process. The DISC Index instrument eliminates that response problem.

Another unique aspect of this DISC-Index report is that we present the DISC aspects of your behavior
both as separate entities and as a dynamic combination of traits. This report presents the first time that
each of the DISC elements are separated and developed as pure entities of themselves. This can serve
as an important learning tool as you explore the deeper aspects of DISC. Your unique pattern of DISC

skye blue
traits is developed through the context of this report. Additionally, the following four pages will be
devoted to exploring your DISC scores as separate components within the unique combination of traits
that you exhibit.

A comment on contradictions: You may read some areas of this report that may contradict other text.
This is due to the fact that many of us show contradictory behaviors in the normal course of our daily
operations. Each of us are at times talkative and other times more reflective, depending on how we are
adapting our behavior. The expression of these contradictions is a demonstration of the sensitivity of
this instrument to determine these subtle differences in our natural and adaptive style.

 The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior

Decisive

Your approach to problem-solving and obtaining results

The D in DISC represents Decisiveness. Your score on this scale, represented below, shows your location
on the D spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low
score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:

Higher D
Tend to solve new problems very quickly and assertively. They take an active and direct approach to
obtaining results. The key here is new problems such as those that are unprecedented or haven't
happened before. There may also be an element of risk in taking the wrong approach or developing
an incorrect solution, but those with a High D score are willing to take those risks, even if they may be
incorrect.

Lower D
Tend to solve new problems in a more deliberate, controlled, and organized manner. Again, the key
here is new and unprecedented problems. The Lower D style will solve routine problems very quickly
because the outcomes are already known. But, when the outcomes are unknown and the problem is
an uncertain one, the Lower D style will approach the new problem in a calculated and deliberate

skye blue
manner by thinking things through very carefully before acting.

Natural 49 / Adaptive 35 Your score shows a low average score on the 'D' spectrum. The
100 comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your
90 unique score.

80 You are a calculated risk-taker, but only after you have had
70 sufficient time to consider all potential outcomes.
You like to think things through before acting.
60
You are quite self-critical of yourself and demand a lot out of
50 yourself.
You prefer a culture that allows ample time for analysis of new
40
ideas before implementation takes place.
30 Under high pressure, you may become somewhat indecisive or
resistant to making a very quick decision.
20
Sometimes you demand too much of yourself.

 The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior

Interactive

Your approach to interacting with people and display of emotions.

The I in DISC represents Interactive. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on
the I spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score
doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:

Higher I
Tend to meet new people in an outgoing, gregarious, and socially assertive manner. The key here is
new people whom one hasn't met before. Many other styles are talkative, but more so with people
that they've known for some time. The Higher I scores are talkative, interactive and open even with
people whom they have just initially met. People scoring in this range may also be a bit impulsive.
Generally speaking, those with the Higher I scores are generally talkative and outgoing.

Lower I
Tend to meet new people in a more controlled, quiet and reserved manner. Here's where the key word
"new people" enters the equation. Those with Lower I scores are talkative with their friends and close
associates, but tend to be more reserved with people they've just recently met. They tend to place a
premium on the control of emotions, and approach new relationships with a more reflective approach

skye blue
than an emotional one.

Natural 53 / Adaptive 39 Your score shows a high average score on the 'I' spectrum. The
100 comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your
90 unique score.

80 You tend to meet new people in a confident and appropriate

70 manner.
You present yourself in a poised manner to both small or large
60
groups of people.
50 You may sometimes promise a bit more than you can deliver
because of your natural optimism.
40
You prefer working in a social environment rather than one that
30 is remote or isolated.
You can be an effective coach or counselor for others.
20
You could be a bit more organized and attentive to details.

 The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior

Stabilizing

Your approach to the pace of the work environment

The S in DISC represents Stabilizing. Your score on this scale represented below shows your location on
the S spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low score
doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:

Higher S
Tend to prefer a more controlled, deliberative and predictable environment. They place a premium on
security of a work situation and disciplined behavior. They also tend to show a sense of loyalty to a
team or organization, and as a result, may have a greater longevity or tenure in a position than some
other styles. They have an excellent listening style and are very patient coaches and teachers for others
on the team.

Lower S
Tend to prefer a more flexible, dynamic, unstructured work environment. They value freedom of
expression and the ability to change quickly from one activity to another. They tend to become bored
with the same routine that brings security to the Higher S traits. As a result, they will seek opportunities
and outlets for their high sense of urgency and high activity levels, as they have a preference for

skye blue
spontaneity.

Natural 77 / Adaptive 60 Your score shows a moderately high score on the 'S' spectrum. The
100 comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your
90 unique score.

80 You can be an excellent calming influence on people who are

70 upset.
You are very patient.
60
You are typically very cool, calm, and collected on the job.
50 You always demonstrate a high degree of follow-through.
You tend to resist confronting or rebelling against the
40
established norm.
30 Increasing your sense of urgency could benefit your
performance in many instances.

 The DISC Index Four Components of Behavior

Cautious

Your approach to standards, procedures, and expectations.

The C in DISC represents Cautiousness. Your score on the scale represented below shows your location
on the C spectrum based on the pattern of your responses. A high score doesn't mean good, and a low
score doesn't mean bad, as this is a spectrum or continuum of behavioral traits. For example:

Higher C
Tend to adhere to rules, standards, procedures, and protocol set by those in authority whom they
respect. They like things to be done the right way according to the operating manual. "Rules are made
to be followed" is an appropriate motto for those with higher C scores. They have some of the highest
quality control interests of any of the styles and frequently wish others would do the same.

Lower C
Tend to operate more independently from the rules and standard operating procedures. They tend to
be bottom-line oriented. If they find an easier way to do something, they'll do it by developing a variety
of strategies as situations demand. To the Lower C scores, rules are only guidelines, and may be bent
or broken as necessary to obtain results.

skye blue
Natural 53 / Adaptive 53 Your score shows a high average score on the 'C' spectrum. The
100 comments below highlight some of the traits specific to just your
90 unique score.

80 You are quite analytical and enjoy a higher level of details and
70 data.
You are sensitive to high quality control and have a need for
60
accuracy.
50 Your preference is to adhere to the defined and proven way of
doing things.
40
Your approach to brand new ideas and change is one of caution
30 and careful consideration.
You really like to get things done correctly the first time.
20
You like to keep a neat and clean workplace.

behave when thinking about it. The statements below are specific to your individual Adaptive style:
