Do they have an unusually Low “I” (Influencing) score? If so, you may want to avoid fast, loud talking and tone down your emotional enthusiasm.
Think about people you know who might have very high or low DISC scores in any category. Pay the most attention to your highest and lowest scores, especially if any of them are above 70 or below 30. Humans are incredibly unique every type of combination is necessary and valuable. In the same vein, people with more extreme scores are not more “special” than people whose scores hover closer to the 50 line (average). A high Dominance score is not better or worse than a low Dominance score, and vice versa. The most important thing to know when it comes to behaviors is: There is no wrong or right style. If scores are toward the middle, it means that this person’s style in the given category tends to be more moderate, allowing them to easily adapt to different styles. How High or Low the score is shows how strongly that attribute is or is not displayed in your behavior and communication style.Īnother way to look at this is that the scores the furthest away from the “50” are the most pronounced behavioral traits for a person (“High” or “Low”). On the DISC graph, scores above 50 are “High” in that behavioral style. Your score just indicates which behaviors come more naturally to you, which we will cover more of in this section.
Remember, there is no good or bad in DISC. We call it the energy line because if you have to adapt and behave in a way on the opposite of this line from your natural style, this may drain your energy. Take note of the 50 line on the graph, which we call the energy line. Your DISC scores each fall somewhere between 0-100, and are indicated by a colored bar with your numerical score listed underneath.
