Rediscovering DiSC: What’s Next After Your Assessment?

If you’ve taken the DiSC assessment—whether it was back in 1972 or just a couple of years ago—you might find yourself wondering, “What’s next?” The answer might surprise you: sometimes, the best next step is to revisit what you already have. There is often more value in diving deeper into your existing DiSC profile than in chasing the latest assessment trend.

Why Revisit Your DiSC Assessment?

1. Unearth New Insights: Your DiSC profile is not a one-and-done document. As you grow and face new challenges, the insights within your assessment can take on new meaning. The same assessment that seemed straightforward years ago may now offer profound guidance in your current circumstances.

2. Recognize Growth and Opportunities: When you review your DiSC results with fresh eyes, you can see both how far you’ve come and where you still have room to grow. Perhaps you’ve developed strengths in areas where you were once challenged, or maybe new challenges have arisen that your profile can help address.

3. Avoid the Shiny Object Syndrome: It’s easy to be tempted by new assessments and tools, but the truth is that deepening your understanding of an existing tool like DiSC can be far more valuable. Rather than continually seeking new frameworks, mastering the insights of your current assessment can lead to lasting improvement.

How to Get the Most Out of Your DiSC Profile Now

• Review Your Results Regularly: Set aside time to go through your DiSC profile, highlighting areas that resonate with your current situation.
• Apply What You Learn: Look for practical ways to implement the insights from your assessment in your daily interactions—both at work and at home.
• Engage in Reflection: Consider what has changed since you first took the assessment. What new strengths have developed? What challenges persist?

My Personal Experience with Revisiting DiSC

Recently, while preparing for a productive conflict Q&A session, I revisited my own DiSC Productive Conflict Assessment. I was amazed by the insights I had previously overlooked or forgotten. Some areas showed significant progress, while others reminded me of work I still needed to do. This experience reinforced that even a well-known assessment can reveal new insights when approached with a fresh perspective.
