What Is Extended Disc®?

Extended DISC® is a behavioral assessment tool designed to help individuals better understand their natural behavioral tendencies and how those tendencies influence communication, interactions, and workplace relationships.

The assessment explores four primary behavioral styles—Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Compliance (C)—providing insights into how individuals approach challenges, interact with others, respond to change, and navigate their work environments. 

Unlike approaches that simply identify a personality type, Extended DISC® helps individuals recognize behavioral patterns and develop greater flexibility in how they communicate and work with others.

At AWI Leadership, we use these insights as a starting point for meaningful development—not simply as information in a report. Through facilitated discussions, practical exercises, and customized training, participants learn how to apply behavioral awareness to everyday workplace situations.

Understanding the Four DISC Behavioral Styles 

Each behavioral style brings unique strengths, communication preferences, and approaches to working with others. Understanding these differences helps individuals adapt their communication, strengthen relationships, and collaborate more effectively.

Discover More Than Your DISC Style
