When we look around our classroom or workplace, we see several different types of personalities. Some people are naturalleaders, whereas others excel at keeping the peace. Some people breeze through social interactions, while others prefer a more analytical approach.

The DISC model, comprising four primary personality profiles, offers valuable insights into our behavior, communication style, and how we relate to others, saysAnand Mehta, LMFT, Executive Director, AMFM Healthcare.

5 Signs of Workplace Cliques

This quiz is for anyone who wants to develop a deeper understanding of their behavior, particularly in work settings. Whether you’re a professional, a team leader, or a job seeker, knowing your DISC personality can help you understand your strengths and weaknesses in the workplace.

Knowing what you bring to the table can help you communicate more effectively, find the right roles for you, and build strong relationships with your colleagues. What’s more, understanding your weaknesses can help you identify areas for growth and development.

The DISC model is particularly useful in helping you understand yourdecision-making methods, communication style, and problem-solving approach.

As you start to understand your DISC personality type, you may also be able to understand others’ behavior better. This can help you adjust yourcommunication styleto vibe with their personality, says Mehta. “Got a ‘D’ in the room? Be bold and brief. Entertaining an ‘I’? Crank up the charm and enthusiasm. It’s like having a cheat sheet for human interaction.”

Understanding DISC personality types does wonders for our empathy muscles. Seeing through the DISC lens, we realize people aren’t just being difficult; they’re just different.—ANAND MEHTA, LMFT

These are the four DISC personalities:

While most people tend to more or less fit one of the personality types, some people might embody more than one of these personality types. For example, you may primarily be a dominance personality with some influence traits thrown in, making you a dominance-influence (DI) personality. Or, you may primarily be a steadiness personality with some conscientiousness traits, making you a steadiness-conscientiousness (SC) personality.

If you’re worried that your personality may be having a negative impact on your life, whether at home, at work, or in your relationships, it may be worth reaching out to a therapist or other mental health professional. They can help you assess the impact your behaviors may be having on others, and help you make positive changes in your life.
