The
Discovery
Personality Test
|
This test is based on the highly successful
DISC model of personality. Tests based on this model have been
administered more than 100 million times throughout the world to help
select and develop people.
The DISC Theory was developed by William Moulton Marston in the 1920's.
(W. M. Marston: 1893-1947, Harvard graduate, lawyer, psychologist and
educational consultant.) Since then the theory has been refined and
validated by many eminent psychologists and HR professionals.
The Discovery Personality Test takes this a
step further. This test applies the 'Blink' Decision Making Technique that
is revolutionising the accuracy of psychometric testing.

The Questionnaire
The questionnaire consists of 28 sets of culture-free multiple choices and takes about
8/10 minutes.
The Report
The report provides scores and narratives for the DISC traits and places
the test-taker into a specific 'Pattern' or Classification.
The report is designed to provide information for you and to provide 'feedback' to
the test-taker in
a non-threatening, everyday language.
This Discovery Test was created in response
to a high demand by HR professionals, counsellors and coaches. They all
indicated that they wanted a report that is succinct and to the point. No
need for pages of speculative predictions and fancy graphics.
We promise you that the
facts you get will be
as accurate as any other test based on the DISC model of personality.
Plus, we provide personal telephone and email client support. (That is not only

DISC Patterns or Classifications
To help communication and understanding,
researchers and experts in the DISC Personality Model have defined what are
known as 'Patterns' or 'Classifications'.
These Patterns are based on the relationship
between the scores for the four DISC areas measured ...
on the 'shape' of the profile.
The frequency of different patterns amongst
the general population has also been taken into consideration.
