Knowledge of oneself is the biggest modifier of behavior.
What is DISC? The Application of DISC
DISC is the universal language of observable human behavior, or “how we act”. DISC does not measure education, experience, values or intelligence. It simply measures an individual’s behaviors, or how they communicate.
With the knowledge of DISC, you can learn to understand and appreciate your behavior style, and then adapt your style in communication with others. In fact, you can change the golden rule. Rather than treating others as you would want to be treated, you can treat others the way they want to be treated.
DISC assessment accurately measures four dimensions of behavior, which are each associated with a behavioral style:
How you respond to problems or challenges ? Dominance
How you influence others to your point of view ? Influence
How you respond to the pace of the environment ? Steadiness
How you respond to rules and procedures ? Compliance
The results of DISC assessment reveal an individual’s high and low placement in each of the four dimensions that make up their unique natural and adapted behavioral styles. This is depicted by two illustrations, Style Insights® Graphs and the Success Insights® Wheel.
Synergy 1 provide the most valid DISC assessment in the marketplace.

Success Insights® Management-Staff™ - Behavioral knowledge will empower both the manager and employee to take action towards effective communication in the workplace. Values & Motivators
What is it that motivates people to take action? What is the source of their desire to become involved in certain activities – or to avoid them? Why do people behave the way they do?
The answers lie deep within their unique set of personal interests, attitudes and values. These powerful motivating forces are the drivers of our behaviors, or the “why” of our behaviors, and will motivate us to take specific action. Identifying individuals’ values is important to understanding what makes them effective, satisfied and personally successful.
Six attitudes lay the foundation for Motivation Insights® assessment. Those six major attitudes form a window through which individuals view the world and seek fulfillment in their lives.
The Six Attitudes
Success Insights® Executive Version - Individuals in upper level management can become more effective when they understand the true value they bring to the organization.
Success Insights® Sales Version - With tips and characteristics applied directly to the sales area, an individual can understand and utilize their own behavioral style in creating effective customer relationships.
The results of the Motivation Insights assessment produce a report that identifies an individual’s level on each of the six attitudes and determines his or her dominant motivator. With the knowledge of values in the workplace, we can encourage employees in a way that satisfies their inner drive, so their passions are fulfilled and they are “plugged in” on the job. Based in the values they hold, a we can determine if a position will be rewarding and can understand what motivates them right from the start, rather than waiting for time to tell. An understanding of values will reduce conflicts, improve talent selection and increase retention, expand efficiency and productivity, and energize a group working toward common goals.

Job Benchmarking Process & Tools
In a continually evolving workforce, jobs are changing and their requirements are not always clear. The patented job benchmarking process is a unique and effective solution because it benchmarks a specific job, not the people doing the job. To do this, we let the job talk through an interactive process and an assessment on the job, not the individual. Many of our assessment products can be used to complete a job benchmark, depending on the position itself and the company’s needs. However, the job benchmarking process remains the same for all benchmarking tools.
