To answer that important questions we've put together a list of 8 reasons why you should try the DISC personality assessment. After reading our list, we think you'll see how this is different than anything you might have tried before. That's why it really works!
1. You get clearer insights into yourself and others. The 
DISC personality assessment is a dramatically different tool that gives you a clearer understanding of yourself and your employees. This can then be used to understand your behaviors and motivators, as well as those of your employees.
2. DISC defines each person’s unique personality traits. DISC stands for the 4 personality traits, which are measured by the assessment: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance.DISC profiles are not pigeonholes but represent a continuum along a scale. Everyone who takes the assessment will have one or two of these traits predominate to greater degrees while other traits will rank lower. It is the combination of these scales that reveals how each person, according to their personality, differs in behaviors and motives.
3. Empowers you to place people where they are the most effective. Once you understand your employees' behaviors and motivators on a deeper level, then you can begin to see why they may or may not be performing well in their current role.
You can now begin to modify the roles of your staff members to fit their personality. When people are placed in roles where their unique personality traits can be used as an asset, they tend to be most effective.

Why Communication Fails
We all think others see the world, hold personal values, and think and communicate like we do. They don’t. By understanding the different communication styles and personality traits that DISC reveals, it revolutionizes your ability to communicate with and understand others.
Failing to understand and account for these differences, it’s like others are listening on FM while you are broadcasting on AM. With DISC, you’ll know almost immediately how to communicate clearly with employees and hear what they are telling you. More importantly, you’ll find you suddenly become a super communicator so they get what you’re saying!

4. DISC fosters communication. Understanding your employees' personality profiles helps you to understand the best way to approach communication. Sharing your DISC profile will help them to communicate more effectively with you as well.
Some people respond best to clear and direct instruction. Others may be motivated by words of encouragement along the way.
When you know how to communicate with your employees, based on what works best for the individual, you can approach each one in a manner that fits their communication style.You may still have times when toes get stepped on, or misunderstandings occur. However, by applying the information that you learn from the DISC personality assessment, these occurrences are likely to happen less often.
Plus, when they do, it will be easier to address any issues that may arise.
DISC Reveals What Motivates an Employee
DISC provides insight into the motivating factors of each employee. Different situations are terribly de-motivating and stressful for one person yet highly motivating and rewarding for another. For example, different people thrive or die in situations like:
- Being in charge, having to make things happen, making decisions,
- Feeling they have a connection to the person they are talking with,
- Having predictability, careful planning so there are no surprises, and
- Dealing with facts, being detailed, having prese instructions and feeling they understand all the factors before starting to work on something.
Failing to know these motivating factors means you may have problems with employees simply because you are driving square pegs into round holes.
5. You can identify what drives employees. Not only can you identify what motivates your employees, you can place them in roles where they are likely to be happy and self-motivated.

This is especially true if you restructure your employees’ roles to fit their personality type. When people can do what they do best, they tend to have a more positive outlook, be more engaged and contribute more.
