In its modern form, DISC dates back to the 1920’s. Aspects of the system date back far further than this, however, to ancient Greek times and perhaps further.
The DISC system rests on two fundamental ‘axes’ of a person’s behaviour, Assertiveness/Receptiveness and Openness/Control.
Once the two axes have been defined, they can be developed into the more sophisticated DISC profiling technique.
The theoretical basis of the DISC system makes it possible to use different techniques to assess individual behavioural styles.
