The Process In Getting A Disc Assessment Certification

By Charles Graham


If you are a manager or a business owner, it is important that you understand how each of your employees differ and how they can contribute to the organization. Getting certified in administering assessments, such as the DISC assessment certification, will give you more tools in knowing how to lead your organization better.

To find out if this is the right profile classification tool for your organization, you need to understand the basics of this system. This was created by William Moulton Marston and it was an application of his behavior theory that is based on four personality traits. The evaluation will be based on how a person responds to challenges, influences, rules and pace of work.

The four classifications for this profile evaluation are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. A person will need to answer a questionnaire that classifies their behavior under each classification. This will determine what type of tasks suit them and the type of work environment in which they will thrive.

One of the good ways to better understand this is to take the evaluation yourself. This can be done by a certified practitioner offline or online. In doing this, you can better understand yourself and you can also assess if the results seem closer to how you perceive yourself. This can help you decide if you will need to get a certificate for administering this.

There are several certificates being offered to those who would like to be licensed evaluators for this personality exam. Check out the advantages and the benefits for each and determine which one is best suited to your role in the company and to the company's needs. You also need to consider how much of your time can be used for getting certified.

Once you have decided to become certified, attend the scheduled classes. There are options for both offline and online classes. These have fixed schedules that you have to adhere to for you to understand the personality evaluation. You also need a copy of the Workplace Facilitation Kit, which may be included with the purchase.

After four weeks of instructor-led study, you have to take the test. Exams are also being scheduled so make sure that you include the exam schedule into your calendar. Determine how this profile system can be applied into your organization and how it can help in resolving conflicts, so that you will be better prepared for your exam.

The cost of the certification can greatly influence your choice in the type of certificate that you would like to get. Generally, the online classes and exams cost less than the offline ones. Be sure to register for your desired schedule early, since class slots are limited to around twenty. If you already bought your copy of the Workplace Facilitation Kit, you may also be given a discount by the administrator.

While there are many profile assessments that you can use for your employees, the DISC assessment is still one of the most popular ones. This could be because of how close it is in predicting a person's workplace performance. Then, as a leader you will have a guide on how you can develop this person to become better.
