The theory behind The Discovery Personality Test
This test is based on the highly successful DISC model of personality. Tests based on this model have been
administered more than 50 million times throughout the world to help select and develop people.
The DISC Theory was developed by William Moulton Marston in the 1920's. (W. M. Marston: 1893-1947, Harvard
graduate, lawyer, psychologist and educational consultant.) Since then the theory has been refined and validated by
many eminent psychologists and HR professionals. The Discovery Personality Test takes this a step further.
Introduction
Your personality - as well as skills and experience - has a tremendous impact on your work success, personal growth
and relationships.
The Discovery Personality Test analyses your personality and behaviour - both in work and non-work situations.
Based on the widely used DISC personality model, your report indicates your strengths and possible areas for
self-development.
