Two DISC scores come out of the DISC analysis. One representing your basic style and one representing your response style. The basic style is the behaviour you show unconsciously, without thinking about it. You do this in a safe environment where you can be 100% yourself and where you are relaxed, but also in stressful situations. Under stress, your true nature emerges and corresponds to your basic behaviour. Your response behaviour is the behaviour you show in your work environment, which you think is desirable. We call this adapted, conscious behavioural style the response style.
Both basic and response styles are measured using a questionnaire. From this comes a score from 1 to 100. The midline is at 50. In the behaviour graphs, this limit is represented by a thicker horizontal line. All behavioural styles with a score above 50, are perceptible to others.
Low scores also count and partly determine your behaviour. Only a low score on a behavioural style involves different behavioural characteristics than the high score. Many people disregard the scores below 50% and, in our view, that is incorrect. After all, it is a combination of the behavioural styles that reflect your preferred behaviour, in which the low scores also play a role. But what do these scores really mean? What does a high red and a low green DISC score tell you? We will explain it to you below.
The red behavioural style (Dominant) reflects how you deal with problems and challenges.
The yellow behavioural style (Influence) reflects how you influence and convince others of your ideas and views.
The green behavioural style (Stability) reflects how you react to changes and tempo changes.
The blue behavioural style (Conformism) reflects how you deal with prescribed rules and procedures.
