DiSC & Myers-Briggs Assessments
Assessments: Empower Employee Understanding & Workplace Harmony
Assessments provide valuable insights into how individuals think, communicate, and work, helping organizations build stronger teams and more effective leaders. Our team is certified to administer and analyze both the DiSC and Myers-Briggs assessments.
Using DiSC in HR
DiSC® is a personal development learning experience organizations can use to help their employees get to know their behavioral preferences and tendencies based on the scientifically backed DiSC® model.
With DiSC personality assessment results in-hand, everyone has a quick and intuitive way to understand themselves and their colleagues, resulting in better workplace communication. DiSC results may also serve as a tool to reskill or upskill employees based on their best attributes, as determined by their DiSC profiles.
What Is the DiSC Model?
DiSC has four basic behavioral styles:
D
I
influence
S
Steadiness
C
Conscientiousness
According to the DiSC Model, everyone exhibits a mix of all four styles and has a distinct behavioral profile characterized by varying priorities.
Using Myers-Briggs in HR
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) helps individuals understand their personality preferences across four dimensions:
By identifying these preferences, teams can better appreciate different working and communication styles.
Organizations use MBTI to strengthen collaboration, enhance leadership development, and improve team dynamics. It is particularly effective for building self-awareness and fostering mutual understanding — enabling individuals to adapt their approach and work more effectively with others.
Myers-Briggs for Leadership Development
Myers-Briggs is especially valuable for developing leaders. For more than two decades, it has been used in leadership and executive coaching to help managers understand how their natural preferences shape both their leadership style and the culture they build.
There is no single "best" type for leadership; people of every type can lead effectively. What sets strong leaders apart is self-awareness and the willingness to flex their approach to the needs of the people they lead. With leadership-focused reports and coaching frameworks, MBTI helps HR leaders and the executives they support:
- Recognize how their preferences influence decision-making, communication, and team culture.
- Surface blind spots that can pull an organization out of balance.
- Build a fuller, more well-rounded range of leadership behaviors.
- Anchor longer-term development plans and executive coaching engagements.
DiSC or Myers-Briggs: Which Assessment Is Right for the Job?
Both tools build self-awareness and stronger teams, but they work at different depths and serve different goals. The table below can help you decide which is the better fit for a given initiative — or whether to use them together.
| DiSC | Myers-Briggs (MBTI) | |
| What it measures | Observable behavior and communication style | Underlying cognitive preferences—how you gain energy, take in information, make decisions, and approach structure |
| Framework | Four behavioral styles (D, i, S, C) blended into a personal profile | Four preference pairs combining into 16 personality types |
| Best for | Improving day-to-day team communication, collaboration, and reducing friction | Deeper self-awareness, leadership development, and executive coaching |
| How it’s applied | Fast and intuitive — easy to put to use right away | More in-depth — rewards reflection and coaching over time |
| Typical use cases | Team building, onboarding, communication and sales training, manager–employee dynamics | Leadership and management development, individual coaching, understanding decision-making and motivation |
| Choose it when… | You want practical, immediate gains in how a team communicates and works together | You’re developing leaders or pursuing lasting individual growth and self-insight |
