With the release of Everything DiSC Workplace® and the Everything DiSC Comparison Report®, there are more reasons than ever for people to compare the two best-known assessments for training.  People who know MBTI and DiSC® agree that they both are valuable learning tools. But to select the best tool for the job, you need a clear understanding of the organization’s goals.

 

People Prefer DiSC® When:

  • Their goal is to get people to work more effectively together.

    • Do you have a team, group, or even a whole organization that you need to help work more effectively together? Everything DiSC Workplace® gives everyone a common language that helps them build more effective working relationships — one relationship at a time.

    • Do you need something that participants understand quickly and can apply right away? DiSC® is an intuitive and useful model that people can get their heads around — fast. Everything DiSC Workplace ® and the new circumplex model make it easier than ever to use and apply DiSC®.
  • They want follow-up to ensure the training is used.

    • Follow-up makes training stick, and no one can afford training that doesn’t stick. That’s why Everything DiSC Workplace® comes with unlimited access to the Everything DiSC Comparison Reports® — the most powerful follow-up tool available.
