DISC distinguishes four behavioural styles: Dominance, Influence, Stability and Conformism.
Many people are visually oriented. This makes the colours stick better than the names of the behavioural styles or DISC letters. Red, Yellow, Green and Blue are linked to the behavioural styles. In this blog, we will focus specifically on DISC Blue.

Blue DISC behavioural style: conformism

The colour blue belongs to the behavioural style Conformism. DISC blue measures the way a person deals with procedures and rules set by others. The blue colour can be traced to crystal blue. People who score high on this blue style ask themselves the question: “Do you think as logically as I do?”

This behavioural style is a combination between Thinking and Introvert in the quadrant. People who score high on the blue behavioural style feel most comfortable in an environment where facts and rational thinking prevail. They also do not want to have to make hasty decisions. This is because they want to take their time and go through all the details.

Behaviour of DISC blue

People with a high blue behavioural style are perfectionist and detail-oriented. They like to analyse and get to the bottom of things. It is therefore very likely that the information they come up with is well-founded and verified. They are very reliable and loyal. They will ensure that they honour their commitments. They are focused on quality and details. Therefore, they can sometimes get a bit lost in that. Especially if they have tried very hard (which is almost always the case), they may find criticism of their work difficult.

Communicating with the blue DISC behavioural style

When communicating with someone who scores high on conformism, they may come across as somewhat distant in the first contact. They prefer to get to know someone a bit better before opening up. Stick to the facts, people who score high on conformist behavioural style prefer that. Therefore, keep social talk short. Do not sugarcoat your stories and keep your appointments. Be on time: not too late, but not too early either. People with a high-blue behavioural style do not like it if you come in with a lot of energy, loud or have a nonchalant attitude.
