The Process In Getting A Disc Assessment Certification

By Charles Graham


Leading people within an organization can be challenging especially if you do not have the knowledge or experience in dealing with different types of people. One way to help you understand people better is through profile evaluations that will determine the type of personality that they have. You can also get certified in these so that you are licensed to administer or teach this method. One of your options is the DISC assessment certification.

Before you apply for certification, the first thing that you need to know is what the profile classification is about. There are many profile exams that can be given to new employees and this is just one of them. It is founded on the behavior theory by William Moulton Marston and it revolves within the four personality traits. This assesses how a person responds to rules, challenges and influences. It has nothing to do with a person's intelligence.

The four personalities used for classification are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. There is a questionnaire that a person need to answer. His score will determine how he will behave in his work environment, how he addresses issues and how a person will thrive within your company.

To better understand this profile system, take the evaluation yourself. Assess the results if they match similar profile assessments that you have taken in the past. Does the result reflect how you perceive yourself? Did it reveal something about yourself that you could not explain before? Will your company benefit from the same evaluation?

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.

Be prepared to attend four weeks of classes. There will be one instructor-led session every week. You should also expect some self-paced study materials that you have to complete. Offline and online classes are being offered. Both options have fixed schedules that you are required to attend.

After completing the study requirements, you will soon be given the exam schedule. To better prepare for the exam, review the personality profiles, their evaluation responses and how these people will behave within the work environment. You can also study possible interventions based on their profiles. Even before you become certified, you can start applying what you learned in your office.

A major factor in getting your certificate is the cost of the classes and exams. Costs differ between the offline and online classes. Included in the fees is the Workplace Facilitation Kit. If you have already purchased this separately, you may be given a discount after you have contacted the certifier.

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.
