Is the DISC test really free?

Yes. The DISC test is free and gives you an instant result. You can receive a more detailed read by email if you want, but it's not required to discover your profile.

What does the DISC test measure?

DISC describes how you communicate and interact across four dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. It's not a fixed personality test: it sheds light on your tendencies to help you understand yourself and collaborate better with different profiles.

How long does the DISC test take?

About 5 to 10 minutes. You answer online, at your pace, and your profile shows as soon as you finish.

Can DISC be used in a team?

Yes. When each member takes the DISC, you can map the team's styles and run a cohesion or communication workshop. That's the focus of the team cohesion pack, worth a look if you're thinking about a group use.
