![]() It combines the way someone believes they are expected to behave in their current situation or environment with their core behaviors from learned past responses. The third graph is an average of the 1st and 2nd graphs and is most depictive of one’s natural behavior. For example, one’s "S" might spike quite high in this graph when under pressure, revealing their preference to take a step back, slow things down, and evaluate a situation before proceeding or making any rash decisions. This graph is sometimes referred to as the stress graph because of a person’s tendency to revert to their core behaviors under pressure. ![]() This graph is the least likely to change because it represents ingrained, learned responses to past events in life. This graph is generated by the "least like me" answers in the DISC assessment, and most represents how a person's core behavior or even how a person behaves under stress. For example, if you assess someone and see they have an "I" well above the midline in this first graph, but it’s below the midline in Graphs 2 and 3, this person might believe they are expected to be more outgoing and relational, when they may actually be more task-oriented or passive. This graph is based on the "most like me" answers in one’s DISC assessment and has the greatest potential for change. We call this the "Mask" because it might not accurately represent who the person really is. This graph can be quite different from Graphs 2 and 3, or quite similar. The first graph in the DISC report shows how someone believes they are expected by others to behave within a particular environment. Before we break down the ten things you need to know, there are two very important things you must keep in mind when you are reviewing someone’s DISC profile: (1) the environment the person took their DISC assessment and (2) each of the four DISC styles are represented in every person in varying intensities. The good news is, the more you work with the DISC report the better you will learn the ins and outs of it. While it’s definitely not rocket science, being presented with these three graphs can seem overwhelming when you’re new to learning DISC theory. 10 Important Things to Know When Interpreting DISC Graphsīeing able to interpret DISC graphs proficiently is an important skill to develop when using the DISC assessment in your business or coaching practice.
