DISC History

 

The DISC assessment is usually a series of questions administered over a test, usually online. Results and a report are generated based on the answers of those questions. It is based on the DISC theory of psychologist William Marston. Marston's theory centers on four different personality traits: Dominance, Inducement, Submission, and Compliance.

 

Marston was an accomplished man who was not only a lawyer and a psychologist; he also produced the first functional lie detector polygraph, and authored self-help books.

 

His major contribution to psychology came when he generated the DISC characteristics of emotions and behavior of normal people. Marston, after conducting research on human emotions, published his findings in 1928 in his book titled Emotions of Normal People.

Marston explained his theory that people illustrate their emotions through behavior using the four behavior types called Dominance (D), Inducement (I), Submission (S), and Compliance (C).

 

Today, over 50 million people have taken a DISC assessment.
