The DISC test offers these insights for your candidates by asking them to conduct a self-evaluation by scoring each of 40 statements from 1 (very inaccurate) to 5 (very accurate). The way candidates score these statements shows their preferences for each type of behavior in the DISC model: dominance (D), influence (I), steadiness (S), and conscientiousness (C). Candidates can sit squarely within one of the four main behavioral types or exhibit a combination between one type and one of its two adjacent ones, giving a total for 12 possible outcomes.

Finally, the report offers tips for effectively communicating and working with that type, as well as suggested questions to use in an interview.
