Dr.William Moulton Marston, an American psychologist, feminist theorist, inventor, and comic book writer who created the character Wonder Woman, developed the DiSC model in 1928.
His interest was in understanding and describing how people felt, behaved, and interacted with the world around them, rather than outlining core personality traits which was the focus of most of the other personality assessment models.
The DiSC model is based on how people behave on 2 dimensions.
Task-Oriented vs. People-Oriented
Depending on where we are on these 2 dimensions, our behavioral tendencies can be described as one or more of the following types:
Dominant
Influencer
Steady
Compliance
