How do I get started with Discus?

Getting started with Discus is easy. You'll just need to take a few minutes to sign up for an account, and then you'll be ready to start creating profiles right away.

Can I send questionnaires to my candidates online?

Discus provides an entire suite of features to make this process easy and automatic. At the simplest level, you can simply enter a person's e-mail address, and Discus will send them an invitation and then display and manage the questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is complete, a report will immediately be compiled and added to your accounts.

Discus also provides lots of options for your to customise this process to meet your exact requirements. For example, you can arrange to be automatically notified and sent a copy of the report as soon as it is available.

Can a person completing a questionnaire read their own report?

This is a decision you can make as you set up an invitation. There's no requirement to share the report, but you have the option of doing so if you wish.

Discus can also provide an intermediate solution through the 'Feedback' report, which is an alternative version of the report specifically designed for this purpose, providing a readable and accessible summary of the results.

Do I have access to all my profile reports?

Every DISC profile produced on your account is held in your own secure Discus database. You can access, review and manage those reports at any time. Discus even provides extra features to assess the results in combination, such as comparing candidates against the needs of a role, or assessing how individuals would work together in a team.

How can I recover a lost or forgotten Discus password?

It's easy to reset your Discus access details. You can start the process from the Discus sign-in page, or by following the link below. Discus will handle resetting your access through your registered e-mail address.

Is training available?

We offer a comprehensive online video training course introducing the DISC system and its workings. The course is free if you sign up for an account with fifty credits or more.

Discus itself offers an interactive guide to get your started, and extensive help resources throughout the system.

I received a test invitation, but I'm not able to use it.

There can be various reasons for this. The invitation code might already have been used, or it might simply have expired, or been cancelled by the user who originally set up the invitation.

Your best course of action in a situation like this is to get in touch with your invitation provider and ask them to set up another invitation for you.

I completed an invited questionnaire, but I didn't receive a copy of my report.

When a Discus user sends out an invitation, they can choose whether to give you access to your report or not, so it may simply be that this option isn't active.

If you think you should have received a report, your best course of action is to contact the person who sent you your invitation; they will have the option of sending you a copy.

Can I try Discus for free?

Sorry, we aren't able to offer free trial profiles, but if you want to try the service, remember that you can set up a Discus account with just a single credit.

If you want to see what Discus can produce, take a look at our extensive library of sample reports.

Using DISC Profiles to Manage Relationships

Using DISC to understand and develop working relations

By comparing the factors in two DISC profiles, we can explore and explain the dynamics of a relationship between two personalities.

A DISC relationship assessment is created by directly comparing the DISC factors in one personality profile with the factors in another. The ways in which these factors match up with one another, or show significant differences, give us a basis for understanding how two personalities will relate to one another.

Relationship assessment is based on the concept of DISC dynamics, connections between different factors in two different personalities. For example, when two independent High-D's work together, there'll be a competitive element in the relationship, while High-D working with a patient, steady High-S will introduce in a quite different relationship dynamic.

When we compare two complete personality profiles, the result is a network of dynamics that give us a rounded picture of the working relationship, at least in personality terms.

Viewpoint 2

Each assessment looks at the relationship from both perspectives, describing alternative viewpoints.

Often a relationship can appear quite differently to each of the two people involved, and for that reason a relationship assessment is always made up from two parts, explaining the relationship from each person's own point of view. Depending on the profiles involved, these perspectives can be quite similar to one another, or they can be remarkably different.

DISC Relationships in Practice

Using this approach of understanding a relationship from both perspectives is what makes a relationship assessment so useful. Being able to see where expectations and motivations differ means that we can anticipate or defuse conflicts within the relationship. Not only that, but we can use a relationship assessment to judge the likely compatibility of individuals who may not even have met, and so use relationship assessment to build effective partnerships and develop truly effective teams.

For any combination of two candidates from your database, we can create a relationship assessment describing the dynamics within their working relationship, from the perspective of each individual.
