Don’t let the title of this blog concern you; the DiSC assessment is not a test. It’s a valuable tool that allows you to gain valuable insight into how your style interacts with others at work – one-on-one, in a team, cross-departmental and company-wide. We’ve seen a 110% increase in demand for DiSC assessments and training, prompting us to offer them as a retail option on our website. As an authorized Wiley partner, we provide the full suite of DiSC assessments and trainings for teams and companies. This includes tailored solutions for those seeking leadership training in Napa County to enhance team dynamics and organizational success.

Recently, I stumbled upon companies offering discounted, knock-off DiSC assessments. This sparked a concern for the integrity of our offerings. However, Wiley reminded me of a simple truth: the validity of their product is unparalleled. It’s a reminder to focus on our own journey and the value we provide, rather than worrying about competitors.

Now for some facts on the authentic DiSC products. DiSC assessments have been rigorously tested and validated over decades. Studies have shown high reliability and validity, meaning they consistently measure what they intend to measure. For instance, the Everything DiSC assessment, one of the most popular DiSC tools, has been validated against established psychological assessments like the NEO PI-R and 16PF. These validations confirm the accuracy and predictive power of DiSC in understanding behavioral styles and preferences. Simply put, at any given moment the assessment is between 94-97% accurate.  Even when we facilitate the workshops, people remark at how accurate is it and how they want to provide it to the rest of their teams. When all members of a team take the assessment, it provides great insight on how individuals in a team and how the entire team can most effectively work together.

When choosing a DiSC assessment, consider the provider’s reputation and the validity of their tool. Invest in a reliable product that will provide accurate insights and meaningful development opportunities for your team.
