DISC Assessment (DiSC).
DISC / DiSC
- What it measures
- Four behavioral styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness (originally Marston's emotions model; many publisher-specific variants and 8-region circumplex extensions)
- Length and format
- Varies by publisher: DiSC Classic = 28 forced-choice items; Everything DiSC = ~80 items (adaptive). Forced-choice (most/least like me) or Likert depending on version (self-report questionnaire)
- Language versions
- Translated into 25+ languages across the many DISC publishers; very large global training market
- Normative data
- No normative data held in our reference library for this instrument. That is a statement about our library, not about the published literature.
- Licence
- mixed
Licence classification is a research judgement by the catalogue’s authors, not legal advice, and it can be out of date. Confirm terms with the copyright holder or publisher before using an instrument, especially for commercial use.

Choosing between this and the alternatives
We do not deliver this instrument. If you are selecting a measure for a research programme, a national survey or an assessment product, and the question is which instrument, in which language, against which norms and under which licence, that is the work we do.
