Why You Need To See Your Personal Profile

Invest in your future with a reliable and objective view of yourself

A clear and unbiased understanding of your personal style is one of the most valuable insights you can gain. Achieving that perspective is a vital first step in planning your career and work life, understanding your greatest strengths, and learning how you need to develop yourself further. A Discus profile can provide important guideliness to help you in all of these areas, and many others besides.

Assess your ideal career path

The basic details of your personal behavioural style are a key ingredient in deciding and developing a career path. Understanding this style will help you to find a rewarding role where you can use your fundamental strengths to their fullest advantage. Discus even provides an free automatic Job Match feature to help you judge how well you suit a whole range of different roles.

Take a realistic look at the strengths and weaknesses in your approach

Everybody - without exception - has their own innate set of strengths, and their own set of corresponding weaknesses. These strengths (and weaknesses) affect every aspect of your working life, from the ways you to interact with others to your effectiveness in your role. A realistic understanding of your own unique strengths can help you make the most of your unique advantages.

Develop your potential by understanding your key motivators and abilities

What are the fundamental driving factors in your personal style? That's a question that can be surprisingly difficult to answer without help, but Discus can quickly identify these key motivators in your style. That's information that can be paramount in helping to develop your career, and make the most out of your personal abilities.

Enhance your recruitment potential by adding a professional overview to your CV

The information Discus provides is not only useful to you, but also to a potential employer. You can enhance your job-seeking potential by providing a copy of your personal report as part of your resume or CV. Discus even provides an optional feature to create a report version that's ideal for doing just that.

What's Different About Discus?

Discus is a professional profiler in use across the world.

Discus is much more than just another online 'personality test' - it's a profiling solution used commercially across the world. The report you'll see is identical to those used by professional recruiters. That means that you'll learn about more than just your own style: you'll also have access to the same information a potential employer will see.

Your profile is built on validated psychological principles.

DISC, the profiling system used by Discus, was developed in the 1920's, and first used as a major recruitment tool by the US Army during the 1930's. Since then, it has been enhanced and developed to meet the changing needs of industry, to become one of the most widespread profiling tools in business today.

Discus has been the subject of rigorous independent testing to investigate its effectiveness. The Roodt Report is an investigate of its reliability (how stable its results remain over time) and its validity (how well it measures what it claims to measure). Discus passed both levels of assessment, and you can discover the details if you follow the link below.

The range of reporting and extra options is second to none.

When you create your report, you'll receive a 'Classic' report. That's a standard Discus report, and it contains a wealth of information in itself. Discus also provides an array of optional extras to expand your results even further. If you choose to use all the optional features, you'll receive:

• A fully Enhanced report covering twenty-one different subject areas
• A Job Match reporting, examining how well you match a particular role
• A detailed Glossary, tailored to your own report
• A high-quality PDF version of your report, suitable for use in a CV

How Does It Work?

Take a ten-minute test directly online

For the depth of information your report can provide, the test itself is relatively quick and simple. You'll be asked a series of just twenty-four questions, in a process that normally takes about ten minutes to complete.

Your results will be available instantly

Once you complete the last question of the test, your results will be calculated and analysed instantly. There's no waiting for the report to be compiled and sent to you - the process is completely automatic, and you'll see your results the moment you finish the test.

Return to review and expand your report at any time

Once your report is complete, you'll be given your own unique password that you can use to return at any time. Whenever you want to study your report further, or expand its contents, you can just enter the code to view it directly online.

Affordable Profiling

Discus is not only one of the most powerful personal profiling systems available, it's also one of the most affordable.

Depth and Detail
