DiSC® PPSS (Personal Profile System® Software)
Instant, In-Depth DiSC® Experience
For nearly 30 years, the Personal Profile System® has helped over 40 million people
unlock the door to productive communication, positive relationships,
and increased performance through its DiSC®-based learning approach.
The DiSC PPSS combines the power of DiSC with
personalized technology to create exciting new dimensions in PC-based
instrumented learning.
DiSC Dimensions of Behavior provide a nonjudgmental language for exploring behavioral issues across four primary dimensions:
- Dominance: Direct and Decisive
D's are strong-willed, strong-minded
people who like accepting challenges, taking action, and getting immediate results.
- Influence: Optimistic and Outgoing
I's are "people people"
who like participating on teams, sharing ideas, energizing and entertaining others.
- Steadiness: Sympathetic and Cooperative
S's are helpful people
who like working behind the scenes, performing in consistent and predictable ways,
and being good listeners.
- Conscientiourness: Concerned and Correct
C's are sticklers
for quality who like planning ahead, employing systematic approaches, and
checking and re-checking for accuracy.
The DiSC PPSS is a multi-level learning instrument
that helps individuals assess how much they use each Dimension of Behavior
in a particular situation.
The software then provides detailed, personalized information to help
individuals and teams apply DiSC learning immediately.
The feedback, available in hard copy or electronic form,
covers a broad range of behavioral characteristics, including:
- behavioral strengths and weaknesses
- motivating and demotivating factors
- communication approach
- management and selling style
Enhance Personal Effectiveness
Experts agree that people can significantly enhance personal effectiveness
by honestly evaluating their behavior and selecting those self-management
strategies that will maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses.
Organizations around the globe use the DiSC PPSS
to improve effectiveness in four main application areas:
- Self-Awareness/Self-Management
- Peer Relationships/Team-Building
- Performance Coaching/Managing Others
- Client Relationships
Comprehensive Reports Provide Powerful Insights
DiSC PPSS software provides individuals and teams
with detailed, personalized information to help them apply DiSC® learning
in a wide variety of today's business applications.
Choose from a General Characteristics report, a Management report,
a Peer Relationships report, or a Sales report.
Built-In Versatility Expands Learning Opportunities
- Learners can respond on-screen, online, or on paper.
- "Team view" displays, stores, and compares multiple learner profiles.
- Learners can easily navigate menus and screens to find the information
they need at a moment's notice.
- Personalized reports provide meaningful data from which to create
strategies for improved effectiveness.
Companion Instruments Maximize Impact
The DiSC PPSS includes the Role Behavior Analysis(TM)
and the InterPersonal Profile System for enhanced DiSC applications.
The Role Behavior Analysis, also available in a paper assessment, collects and processes perceptions of the
behavioral characteristics that would most effectively fulfill a job,
position, or role.
These perceptions are based on the role itself,
not on the person in the role.
The RBA provides a specific set of DiSC statements to clarify and define
role expectations - how to do a job, as opposed to what to do in a job.
The InterPersonal Profile System expands on the insights gained
from the Personal Profile System by collecting and processing up to
five other people's perceptions about the learner's behavior.
The comparison of the responses provides useful information for improving
interpersonal communication and building relationships.
