Everything DiSC® is a personality assessment built for the workplace. It describes four basic styles, D, i, S and C, and shows each person where they fall and what that means for the way they work with others.
The Base Experience is where every Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™ program begins: one assessment, a personal profile each learner keeps, and a shared language your whole organization can use. The Complete Experience adds the two remaining core applications on top: Agile EQ™, for how each person reads a situation and chooses the response the moment calls for, and Management, for how each manager directs, delegates to, motivates, and develops the people who report to them.
A short overview of the Everything DiSC® model and the research behind it: the assessment is tested and retested for accuracy, engagement, and learner satisfaction.
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE
One assessment. Four applications. One shared language.
Many organizations begin with one or two applications, then find that the real value lies in the combination. The Complete Experience brings the full core suite of Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™ together: Fundamentals and Workplace® for understanding yourself and others, Agile EQ™ for responding well under pressure, and Management for leading the people who report to you. Every learner gets personalized insights from all four on Catalyst™.
One shared language at every level
Individual contributors, managers, and leaders use the same words for style, emotional intelligence, and management.
Greater adaptability under pressure
People learn to read a situation and choose a more valuable response, instead of defaulting to an automatic reaction.
Managers with personalized tools
Managers get strategies to motivate, delegate to, and develop each member of their team.
A platform that grows with your people
Everything lives on Catalyst™, where learners come back to their insights as roles change and new colleagues join.
CHAPTER 1 · EVERYTHING DiSC® FUNDAMENTALS
Understand yourself: what drives you and what drains you
Imagine you are halfway through a project meeting. One colleague wants a decision now, another wants to hear from everyone first, and a third keeps asking for the data. Nobody is wrong. Each person is working from a different style. Everything DiSC® Fundamentals shows each learner their own style and explains why they react the way they do.
1
Everyone is a blend of all four styles
Nobody is only a D or only an S. Each person uses all four styles, and one, two, or even three usually stand out.
2
No style is better than another
All DiSC® styles and priorities are equally valuable. Every style brings strengths, and every style has blind spots.
3
Not a box: a place along several continua
You lean more toward one side of some continua and less toward others. Close to the edge, in between, or near the center: a dot in the center is no better than one on the edge, and vice versa.
4
Style is one influence among many
Life experiences, education, and maturity also shape how you work. DiSC® describes tendencies, not limits.
Two questions sit under the model
Question 1 · Pace
Fast-paced and outspoken, or cautious and reflective?
Some people move quickly, speak up, and act with confidence. Others take their time, think before they speak, and weigh the options. Most people sit somewhere in between.
Question 2 · Focus
Questioning and skeptical, or accepting and warm?
Some people are logic-focused and objective, and they challenge ideas. Others are people-focused and empathizing, and they look for agreement. Put the two questions together and you get the four DiSC® styles.
Where do you think you are?
Slide each dot to where you think you naturally sit. There is no right answer.
DiSC
Move the sliders to place your dot.
A starting guess only. The Everything DiSC® assessment places your dot precisely from your answers.
Tap a style to see how it shows up at work:
D · Dominance
People with a strong D style tend to be: Direct, firm, strong-willed, forceful.
Know your prioritiesWhich of the eight priorities, from Results to Stability, shape your choices every day.
Know your natural paceWhether you push forward fast or step back to reflect, and when that helps or hurts.
Know your blind spotsHow others are likely to see you, so you can adjust before friction starts.
CHAPTER 2 · EVERYTHING DiSC WORKPLACE®
Understand everyone else, including people you haven't met yet
Everything DiSC Workplace® takes the learner from "this is my style" to "this is how I work with you." It analyzes what motivates and what stresses the learner, and then what motivates and stresses each of the other styles.
That second half is where behavior changes. A learner who knows that a colleague is energized by quick wins, or drained by constant change, stops taking friction personally and adjusts the approach.
Twelve styles, one team: each person on your team sits somewhere on this map, and Workplace® shows each of them how to work with the others.
Work with any stylePractical ways to present an idea, disagree, and ask for help with each of the four styles.
Lower the stressSpot what drains you and your colleagues, and change the situation instead of blaming the person.
Build a better working relationshipSpecific steps to improve one relationship that matters to you this month.
CHAPTER 3 · EVERYTHING DiSC® AGILE EQ™
Most teams know how they react. Few know how to shift.
Imagine you are in a tense planning meeting. Your instinct is to push harder; a colleague goes quiet; a third person starts picking the plan apart. Each reaction makes sense from where that person sits, and none of them moves the meeting forward. Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™ helps people recognize when their go-to responses, such as detaching, controlling, or avoiding, no longer serve them, and shows them how to shift toward more valuable responses, such as empathy, self-assurance, or collaboration.
An introduction to Agile EQ™: how people read a situation and choose the response the moment calls for.
How DiSC® styles shape the way people use emotional intelligence at work.
1
EQ is agility
Emotional intelligence is the agility to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly.
2
There are many ways to be emotionally intelligent
Some come naturally to you. Others are more of a stretch.
3
No style has more EQ
No DiSC® style is inherently more emotionally intelligent than any other.
4
Your EQ is not fixed
Developing it gives you the flexibility to adapt your responses to a wide range of situations and challenges.
Eight mindsets around the DiSC® circle
Each part of the DiSC® circle is associated with different EQ strengths, called mindsets. No mindset is more valuable than another: the situation decides which one is right. Each learner's profile shows the mindsets that likely come naturally to them and the ones outside their comfort zone.
Tap a mindset to see what it means:
The Dynamic mindset
Initiating action on your ideas, influencing people, and projecting a strong social presence.
Often a natural strength for: D and i styles
The Outgoing mindset
Establishing and maintaining relationships and expressing your emotions and unfiltered thoughts to others.
Often a natural strength for: i style
The Empathizing mindset
Reaching out with compassion, seeking to understand people's emotional needs and struggles, and being supportive.
Often a natural strength for: i and S styles
The Receptive mindset
Staying open to others' ideas and being willing to compromise or set aside your own needs and preferences.
Often a natural strength for: S style
The Composed mindset
Reflecting before acting, moderating your responses (even under stress), and exercising diplomacy.
Often a natural strength for: S and C styles
The Objective mindset
Separating facts from emotions and keeping the discussion focused on logic.
Often a natural strength for: C style
The Resolute mindset
Standing your ground in the face of opposition, speaking up about problems, and pushing through any resistance.
Often a natural strength for: C and D styles
The Self-Assured mindset
Asserting your opinions and rights, projecting confidence in your ideas and abilities, and taking charge of situations.
Often a natural strength for: D style
What powers each mindset
Behind every style's EQ strengths are psychological needs: progress and control for some people, harmony and reassurance for others. The poster shows the needs of each style around the DiSC® circle. Each learner's profile includes an EQ snapshot that names their own.
What the Agile EQ™ section of the profile covers
Your EQ strengthsThe mindsets that guide your interactions, the benefits and challenges that come with them, and how they shape your responses.
Beyond your comfort zoneThe mindsets outside your comfort zone, the benefits of stretching to each, and how much effort each stretch is likely to take.
Develop your EQBeginner, intermediate, and advanced steps for each stretch mindset, and an action plan for the one you choose to work on first.
CHAPTER 4 · EVERYTHING DiSC® MANAGEMENT
Every manager has a style. Every direct report needs something different.
Imagine you are handing off a new project to two people on your team. One wants the goal and the deadline, and then wants to be left alone. The other wants clear guidelines and to know you will be there if something goes wrong. Give both the same hand-off, and one feels micromanaged while the other feels left on their own. Everything DiSC® Management shows each manager their own management style, and how to adapt their approach to each person they manage.
An introduction to Everything DiSC® Management: how managers adapt delegation, feedback, and motivation to each direct report.
Three management principles
1
Your style shapes how you manage
Your DiSC® style has a strong influence on how you approach management. Life experience, education, and maturity also play a role.
2
No style is better than another
People with every style can be great managers, even when they approach the role differently.
3
Adapt to the people you manage
Whatever your own style, you need to adapt to the styles of the people you manage.
The Management map
The eight priorities around the circle show what different managers tend to emphasize in their work, and what the people they manage value. Each learner's profile places their dot and comfort zone on this map, then uses it in every part of the Management section.
Tap a part of the profile to see what each style needs:

REAL INTERACTIVITY
Where Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™ truly shines
Catalyst™ turns self-understanding and understanding of others into tools people use, in a practical and visual way. Learners come back to it in the moments that matter: before a meeting, when a new person joins, or when a project team gets stuck.
Your Colleagues
Pick any colleague and see your two styles side by side: what you have in common, where you are likely to misread each other, and tips for working together. Learners use it before a first meeting, a handover, or a difficult conversation.
Your Groups
Put any set of people on one map and see the group's style mix at a glance. Conversation Starters then give the group prompts for getting to know each other, making decisions together, and communicating clearly.
Group Continua
See where each member falls on spectrums such as logic versus feelings, or realities versus possibilities. The group spots its natural tilt and the perspectives it tends to leave out when it decides.
Get Advice
Ask for advice on a real situation, such as building a relationship, working through a tension, or getting buy-in, and receive tips written for your style and the other person's.
Learner privacy
Learners who prefer not to share their style can opt out from the Privacy tab in Catalyst™ and change the setting at any time.
Groups you can build with Your Groups
Your own teamSee the team's style mix before a planning session or offsite.

HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, and the fourth is where the value is
1
Order and set up
Order the learners you need. Symphony 100 sets up your administrator account on Catalyst™ and adds the credits, so you are ready to invite people.
2
Tell your learners why, then invite them
People engage when they know the reason. Communicate with your learners through the platform before they start:
why the organization is doing this, and what the team session will look like
when to complete the assessment, and that there are no right or wrong answers
who will see their results, and how learner privacy works
From your administrator account you can see who has completed the assessment, and send reminders and notices to those who haven't.
3
Each learner discovers their style
Learners complete the assessment, explore their profile on Catalyst™, and download their PDF report.
4
Gather the team
This is the step that turns individual insight into a team that works better together. In a facilitated session, the team shares styles, motivators and stressors, and agrees how it wants to work. Choose who facilitates below.
How big a group? There is no minimum. Groups of 10 to 12 participants work best: everyone has time to take part and stay engaged. Larger groups are possible, but the value for each person goes down as the group grows. Alone or in pairs, learners lose the chance to apply the group and team concepts right away.
THE REAL VALUE
Bring your team together
“The true value of Everything DiSC® comes from bringing the team together. It is not just about learning about yourself. It is about learning about others: people you know, people you don't know, and people you don't know yet. Understanding what motivates and stresses people, with a basic understanding of style underneath, can make all the difference in the world. It also gives everyone a communication tool to talk about it and be on the same page.”
Frank November, Founder & CEO, Symphony 100
