The Four DiSC® Styles

DiSC® describes four primary behavioural styles. Everyone is a blend of all four, but most people naturally lean toward one or two. Each style brings different strengths and priorities to the workplace—there is no “better” or “worse” style.

D — Dominance

Direct, driven, and results-focused. D styles tend to value action, progress, and achieving results.

i — Influence

Social, enthusiastic, and relationship-focused. i styles tend to value connection, collaboration, and influencing others.

S — Steadiness

Supportive, dependable, and team-focused. S styles tend to value cooperation, stability, and positive working relationships.

C — Conscientiousness

Detail-focused, analytical, and quality-oriented. C styles tend to value accuracy, expertise, and well-considered decisions.
