Extended DISC® Personal Analysis
Extended DISC® Personal Analysis allows a person to gain clarity about who they are, their strengths, development areas and motivators.
Profile II illustrates a person’s natural response to an external stimulus. It is the behavioural style that takes the least energy and effort, requires the least amount of concentration and is usually the most pleasant to the individual.
It is possible to define action and thinking models to a person’s natural behavioural style by using Profile II. Any significant and large changes in it usually mean significant events and changes in the immediate environment of the individual that are forcing him or her to seek new ways to succeed.
Profile I illustrates how the person feels he/she has/wants to adjust his/her behaviour to cope with the requirements of the present environment. Profile I demonstrates the individual’s conscious understanding of one’s self and own behaviour in the present situation (conscious self image).
By comparing these two Extended DISC® Personal Analysis profiles we can tell whether a person has tried to answer the questions the way he/she believes the interviewer wants him appear, we can tell whether there is a key feeling of uncertainty or lack of clarity, whether the person feels insecure or whether a person is frustrated. We can even interpret a key feeling of helplessness and again whether a person is under pressure. We can tell whether a person feels the need to adjust, the amount they feel they need to adjust, and whether that adjustment is likely to lead to stress in the long haul.
Tools for behavioural change
Finally, assessments that provide results for behavioural change.
Extended DISC® Open 360 Feedback
Extended DISC® Open 360 was developed in 1995. Since then tens of thousands of people have given and received feedback to and from their team members with the help of the tool. Extended DISC® Open 360 tool was originally defined to support organizations in team development.
The purpose of the tool was to help team members learn how to communicate and how to give and get peers feedback. Later it was found that the tool is applicable in several other applications that relate to increasing effectiveness in communication.
Open 360 is a tool that team members remember for years afterwards. It gives the team a unique atmosphere of open communication and sincere honesty. For an individual it provides an opportunity to be the center of attention with everyone trying to support and encourage. It is also a tool for receiving feedback.
It is often recommended that Open 360 not be the first tool to begin with. It doesn’t allow you to hide in your room or behind your job position. It is a tool that enables one person to give feedback to another person. The Extended DISC® Open 360 feedback session should always be facilitated by an external (to the team) facilitator.
Extended DISC® Job Analysis
Extended DISC® Job Analysis was developed to its present format in 1996. The preceding versions date back to 1992. At that time, the Extended DISC® System was already used extensively to support the interview process when recruiting new people. It was felt that the interviewers needed more support to assess the Personal Analysis results and to understand the behavioral requirements of a job.
Extended DISC® Job Analysis was created to increase that understanding, by providing a best match between the benchmarked job requirements and the interviewed candidates. The power of the tool soon enabled Extended DISC to include in the list of its applications many consulting processes, and that was when the assessment system got it’s reputation as a significant and important consultancy tool.
Extended DISC® Job Analysis is a very down-to-earth product; it aims for perfection by pinpointing even very small parts within a job description that do not fit in the ideal Job Profile, therefore forcing the organisations to succeed. The result and the benefit you can get from this tool is a powerful and effective organisation where every individual can perform in tasks where their biggest natural strengths are utilized.
