How To Obtain DISC Assessment Certification

By Charles Graham


If you are a manager or a business owner, it is important that you understand how each of your employees differ and how they can contribute to the organization. Getting certified in administering assessments, such as the DISC assessment certification, will give you more tools in knowing how to lead your organization better.

Before you apply for certification, the first thing that you need to know is what the profile classification is about. There are many profile exams that can be given to new employees and this is just one of them. It is founded on the behavior theory by William Moulton Marston and it revolves within the four personality traits. This assesses how a person responds to rules, challenges and influences. It has nothing to do with a person's intelligence.

The four classifications for this profile evaluation are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. A person will need to answer a questionnaire that classifies their behavior under each classification. This will determine what type of tasks suit them and the type of work environment in which they will thrive.

To better understand this profile system, take the evaluation yourself. Assess the results if they match similar profile assessments that you have taken in the past. Does the result reflect how you perceive yourself? Did it reveal something about yourself that you could not explain before? Will your company benefit from the same evaluation?

There are several certificates being offered to those who would like to be licensed evaluators for this personality exam. Check out the advantages and the benefits for each and determine which one is best suited to your role in the company and to the company's needs. You also need to consider how much of your time can be used for getting certified.

You have to schedule time every week to attend classes. This will be done for four weeks prior to the examination. Classes may either be offline or online. Regardless of which you choose, these are still instructor-led and with predetermined schedules. There will also be some self-paced study.

The exam will take place soon after your four weeks of study. Familiarize yourself with the four traits, the questions that determine a person's classification and common applications of the profile system. These will help you be well-prepared to get your certificate.

The cost of the certification can greatly influence your choice in the type of certificate that you would like to get. Generally, the online classes and exams cost less than the offline ones. Be sure to register for your desired schedule early, since class slots are limited to around twenty. If you already bought your copy of the Workplace Facilitation Kit, you may also be given a discount by the administrator.

Becoming certified in DISC can bring positive changes for your organization. As each person has a different response to difficulties, you will know how to manage each person's performance and help them become better through your development interventions.
