This Innermetrix Disc Index was authored by Jay Niblick, the Founder and CEO of
Innermetrix. It is a modern interpretation of Dr. William Marston’s behavioral dimensions.
Marston’s research uncovered four quadrants of behavior which help to understand a
person’s behavioral preferences. This Disc Index will help you understand your behavioral
style and how to maximize your potential.
The DISC Index
Executive Summary
Natural Style:
The natural style is how you behave
when you are being most natural. It is your basic
style and the one you adopt when you are being
authentic and true to yourself. It is also the style
that you revert to when under stress or pressure.
Behaving in this style, however, reduces your stress
and tension and is comforting. When authentic to
this style you will maximize your true potential
more effectively
Adaptive Style:
The adaptive style is how you behave when you feel
you are being observed or how you behave when
you are aware of your behavior. This style is less
natural and less authentic for you or your true
tendencies and preferences. When forced to adapt
to this style for too long you may become stressed
and less effective.
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
