Understanding TeamsOne of the things that DISC models particularly well is the way that a person will interact with others, and a natural development from that fact is an examination of a individual in the context of a team. 
Discus includes a new extension of DISC theory designed specifically to examine a members attitudes towards work in a team, and to identify the likely types of role that individual will adopt. Discus doesn't stop with the individual member: it includes a complete team profiling suite, that's capable of describing the make-up of any team in DISC terms, and analysing the team as a whole, its leadership and the relationships within it.
Beyond describing and assessing teams, Discus also includes a Team Profiler - a tool that can actually construct ideal teams. Based on a behavioural definition that you provide, the Team Profiler will search through all the combinations of DISC profiles it can find to locate the best possible matches to your ideal team definition. Four Team FactorsThe four factors used by Discus to describe teams are derived from the standard DISC factors. They are: Unlike ordinary DISC factors, each of these also has an 'inverse' value to complement the main team factor: There are also a host of 'subfactors' deriving from these: the Understanding Teams handbook supplied with Discus explains all these terms in detail.

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.

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.

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.
