Maxwell DISC Assessment
The Maxwell DISC Method
The Maxwell DISC Method offers a comprehensive personality assessment tailored for the educational community, drawing on John Maxwell’s leadership insights.
This tool is designed to enhance self-awareness and interpersonal dynamics among educators, students, and school districts. By incorporating a detailed action plan grounded in Maxwell’s leadership strategies, the Maxwell DISC Method facilitates:
- A deeper understanding of personal and others’ behavioral patterns.
- Enhanced communication skills across different groups.
- Effective resolution of conflicts within the educational setting.
- Strengthened encouragement and motivation among team members.
- Optimal alignment of roles and responsibilities based on individual strengths.
- Insight into behavioral responses under stress.
This assessment delineates four primary aspects of an individual’s personality:
- Behavioral tendencies
- Communication preferences
- Strengths
- Approach to work
Participants respond to a series of statements on a scale from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree,” allowing for a nuanced exploration of personal characteristics without the imposition of right or wrong answers.
Rooted in the DiSC model, the assessment categorizes personality styles into four major types:
- Dominance (D)
- Influence (i)
- Steadiness (S)
- Conscientiousness (C)
While individuals exhibit a blend of these styles, most will find a dominant presence in one or two areas.
Tailored for the educational sector
The Maxwell DISC Method is an invaluable tool for fostering a supportive and productive environment, promoting a culture of mutual understanding and respect among educators, students, and administrative staff.
