How To Obtain DISC Assessment Certification

By Charles Graham


If you lead people in your organization, it is good if you have knowledge on different behaviors and classifications of personalities. This can help you in dealing with various people within and outside your organization. What is even better is if you have a license to train or practice personality evaluations. One of your options is the DISC assessment certification, which will determine how a person will behave as a part of your company.

Your first step is to learn how this profile evaluation differs from others. DISC was based on a behavioral theory by psychologies William Moulton Marston. A person is evaluated based on four personality traits. The questions being asked revolve around how a person will handle challenges, how he influences, how he responds to rules and how he prefers his work pace.

The four traits used for this classification are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. Certain behaviors fall within each of these characteristics. By knowing how a person's characteristics can be classified, you will be better equipped in predicting a person's future behavior and providing intervention for them.

Before you get certified, it will be good if you take the evaluation yourself. That way, you can learn what the profile system reveals and how it compares with other assessments that you have taken. You can also compare it with how you see yourself to find out how close to the truth it is. You may also be able to explain things about yourself that used to confuse you.

Determine the type of certificate that you will need. Consider the needs of your company and your role in addressing behavioral issues. You may also ask for advice of other leaders in the company. You can also seek the opinion of people with similar accreditations to find out how those are working for them.

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.

Because there are a number of personality assessments, you have lots of choices when it comes to classifying your employees' characteristics. After evaluating them, make sure that you also get to know them more personally in terms of what motivates them, what causes them pressure and how they want to be successful in your company.
