Overview

The DISCp4, an acronym of Dominant, Influent, Stable and Conscientious, is a grid for interpreting and understanding how Julien reacts to and interacts with his/her environment. This report uses the DISCp4 model to decipher Julien’s profile, examining how each component guides his/her actions, how he/she responds to different situations, and his/her mode of communication. Such an approach makes it easier to understand his/her personality in both professional and personal contexts.

These graphs illustrate Julien's profile from complementary angles...

DISCp4 profiles are presented on a color wheel divided into four quarters, each representing one of the components: Dominant (red), Influential (yellow), Stable (green) and Conscientious (blue). Each quarter has its own characteristics, but adjacent quarters share common traits. For example, the Dominant (D) and Influential (I) profiles are typically associated with extraverted traits.

Roue DISC 4 quartiers, avec légende
The DOMINANT profile is characterized by an overflow of energy, a resolute focus on action, and constant dynamism. Naturally inclined to a positive, pragmatic attitude, although they may sometimes be perceived as aggressive, they are endowed with an extroverted temperament and great perseverance as well as a strong drive for achieving results. In their interactions, they adopt a direct and authoritative approach towards others.
The INFLUENTIAL profile places great importance on building strong, satisfying personal relationships. Typically positive and outgoing, they enjoy the company of others and believe that life should be a source of pleasure. With their warm, friendly attitude, they interact with others in a convincing, democratic way, radiating enthusiastic energy.
The STABLE profile is characterized by their seriousness and reliability. They value constancy in their lives, and can show great determination in defending a cause. They are often uncomfortable with impersonal structures and ambiguous situations. In their interactions, they come across as reserved or shy.
The CONSCIENTIOUS profile prefers to think before they act. This tendency can sometimes be misinterpreted as coldness or indifference. They have a strong inclination to seek knowledge and figure out their environment. They may find it difficult to deal with pressure from above and have a definite preference for written communication.

It's perfectly normal for one person to straddle several components of the DISCp4 model and to have similar scores in different categories. As Marston explained, Julien's profile is made up of the four colors to varying degrees of intensity. To interpret his/her profile each of these behavioral styles must be taken into account, reflecting the diversity and complexity of his/her personality.

Looking at people with a profile similar to his/hers, at first glance*, we can say that Julien...

  • is direct in what he/she says. This frankness, which is sometimes excessive, can occasionally embarrass people or even make them uncomfortable.
  • may seem insensitive.
  • gets straight to the point with neither tangents nor embellishments.
  • is direct in his/her actions; he/she makes decisions, initiates projects and moves forward without hesitation.
  • does what it takes to achieve his/her goals. If there are obstacles in the way, he/she will find ways to overcome them. When faced with a challenge, he/she finds strategies to meet it successfully.
  • expresses him/herself with a loud voice and speaks fast.
  • exudes an aura of confidence and self-assurance.
  • holds themselves upright, shakes hands vigorously and has a direct, even confrontational gaze.
  • is uncomfortable with pauses in conversation and (often) interprets them as a signal to intervene, which may lead them to interrupt.
  • likes to see the big picture, and prefers to adopt a global perspective.
  • has a logical, rational approach when making decisions.
  • avoids details, regarding them as superfluous and tedious.
  • is stimulated by trials and challenges.
  • finds little interest in monotonous activities and repetitive tasks.
  • is action-oriented, preferring dynamic situations in which things progress and evolve rapidly.
  • is happy to own up to his/her mistakes, with no fear of failure. Prefers action to inaction, even at the risk of getting something wrong.
  • is able to decide quickly, even without all necessary information.
(*) Some of these points may seem contradictory at first glance. Julien's profile is described in more detail below.

Adapted vs Natural

In addition to defining how Julien's profile corresponds to the DISCp4 components, the model indicates his/her "adapted" and "natural" profiles.

The Adapted style represents his/her "public self", i.e. the facets of Julien's personality that he/she presents in response to his/her environment. Described by Carl Jung as "the mask", it's the side of him/herself that he/she shows to others, reflecting the way he/she "appears" and adapts to external situations.
The Natural style embodies his/her "private self", revealing the aspects of his/her behavior that are most stable and least subject to variation. It corresponds to the facets of Julien's personality that he/she has unconsciously adopted, and which remain the least influenced by the expectations of those around him/her. This style highlights Julien's "true self", the one to which he/she instinctively returns when he/she struggles to keep up the appearance he/she has adopted in reaction to his/her external situation.

Here's what it's like for Julien...

73-7-1-15
48-21-1-31

Discrepancies between the adapted profile and the natural profile are common. They indicate that the person concerned consciously or unconsciously feels the need to adjust to their environment, whether this means their team, their constraints, their task, etc. For example, an accountant may accentuate their conscientious side and a salesperson may seek to be more sociable, while a team leader may adopt a more authoritarian attitude. However, excessive discrepancies could suggest that Julien has over-analyzed the test questions. In this case, it may be wise to repeat the test at a later date, answering as spontaneously as possible, in order to obtain more reliable results.

Adapted 73 % 7 % 1 % 15 %

Tends to make quick decisions.
Can appear impatient or demanding.
Dominant in his/her interactions.
Independent and autonomous.
Competitive and goal-oriented.

(*) Logically, and depending on variations in his/her profile, Julien won't completely correspond to all of these points, which remain general. And it's worth remembering that Julien's adapted profile and natural profile are not necessarily identical. His/her profile is discussed in more detail below.

It's also interesting to examine how Julien's profile is positioned in terms of the dominant-stable and conscientious-influential diagonals and the extravert-introvert and task-people oriented axes...

About this study

The DISCp4 model is based on a thorough statistical analysis of behavioral styles among the general public, identifying common characteristics and trends. This model is designed to describe the behavior of so-called "normal" people i.e. those who do not have specific pathologies such as insomnia, mental disorders or other conditions significantly affecting behavior. Thus, the DISCp4 provides a framework for understanding and interpreting different behavioral and communication styles in a daily context, outside of any specific medical or psychological considerations.

This report draws its conclusions from the analysis of population statistics and establishes Julien's profile based on that of people with a similar one. However, it is important to remember that each person is unique, including Julien, so some of his/her character traits may be slightly different from those presented here, depending on the context and circumstances.

(*) When under stress, can, tends to...
(*) And also, in general and to a lesser extent...
Recognize signs of stress and adjust the environment or management style to mitigate these reactions and maintain effective performance and teamwork.
It is usually enough to put things straight simply, with no frills.

Although moderate stress is not intrinsically worrying, it is important to ensure that it does not persist and, above all, that it does not get any worse.

When under mild stress, people modify their behavior in response to external circumstances. Generally, stress tends to exacerbate their habitual traits. However, if what's causing their stress gets worse, their behavior can undergo drastic changes.

In general, stress is harmful. This said, a low level of stress can help in some situations, provided it is used sparingly and not abusively, although this is generally not recommended.

encourage him/her to take breaks and disconnect from work to prevent burnout.
help him/her to improve his/her communication to reduce potential conflicts due to telling others what to do.
encourage leadership approaches that value listening and the consideration of others' ideas, thereby reducing tensions.
Avoid placing him/her in overly restrictive work environments or imposing constraints that limit his/her ability to make decisions.
Don't exclude him/her from decision-making processes or leadership opportunities.
Avoid publicly criticizing or challenging his/her authority in a confrontational manner, as this may cause a defensive or aggressive reaction.
(*) To avoid, or Julien will feel even more stressed.

In general, people with dominant (red) and influential (yellow) profiles are inclined to work faster, which can be described as positive acceleration. To motivate them, they can be set challenges or dares, potentially with a financial reward. It's effective to create specific challenges for Dominant profiles and to stimulate Influential ones. Focusing on short-term objectives, resetting performance indicators at the end of each task or cycle, segmenting tasks, organizing exceptional and intense work days, as well as celebrating milestone events such as Christmas, Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve, are all strategies that can be beneficial.

People with Stable (green) and Conscientious (blue) profiles, on the other hand, feel a greater need to slow down. This can be called positive deceleration. To meet their needs, it's advisable to prioritize relaxing activities, particularly those carried out in groups, rather than competitive ones. It's important to respect and promote breaks, such as meal times. Celebrating collective successes or team actions, organizing meetings, mentoring new arrivals, offering tutoring and training are all practices that can benefit them.

Manager Tools*

(*) to help manage Julien.

Management is a determining factor in company success, combining the use of strategic tools and a variety of skills to plan, organize and direct resources. In addition to achieving corporate objectives, good management plays an essential role in retaining talent.

By mobilizing technical skills and leadership qualities, it creates an environment in which employees feel valued and motivated, thus contributing to their fulfillment and to company stability. This holistic approach is the key to a harmonious and productive workplace, where objectives are achieved and the right people remain committed and loyal to the company.

Profil 4 recommends the Outils du Manager methodology for the tools presented in this section. OdM is the most listened-to French podcast dedicated to management. For over ten years, OdM has been providing managers with simple, pragmatic advice and tools they can use on a daily basis.

The Outils du Manager method grew out of observing the behavior of top managers, i.e. those who achieve two results:

  • Outstanding performance, and
  • Team loyalty

These observations then gave rise to a number of principles, in particular the importance of developing an exceptional level of communication with employees, and of using a management style based on influence rather than hierarchical power or expert authority.

One-to-one meetings

One-to-one meetings are crucial for direct communication between a manager and their co-workers. These regular sessions provide an opportunity to discuss performance, objectives and personal concerns, offering precise follow-up on projects and strengthening professional relationships. They foster a transparent and motivated work environment, aligned with team and company objectives.

The one-to-one meeting is a manager's fundamental tool for building a trusting relationship with their co-workers. It's a condensed management meeting that makes management visible and measurable. Ideally, managers should schedule weekly 30-minute 1-1 meetings with each of their subordinates throughout the year, and make a ritual of it. The time that the manager spends on their co-workers is an investment. It's worth it, because it will reduce interruptions during the week and create greater performance and autonomy.

The basics of a successful 1-to-1 meeting:

  • It's a face-to-face conversation with Julien, during which he/she must be able to say whatever he/she wants
  • It must be weekly and compulsory
  • It lasts 30 minutes and is scheduled in advance, always at the same time of the week.
  • The manager takes notes to favor listening and asking questions.

It's a 3-part interview:

  1. The manager lets Julien speak without interrupting (this is their top priority).
  2. The manager asks questions (without stepping in to solve problems), provides information, passes on messages from above and gives feedback.
  3. It's the right time for delegating tasks, enabling autonomy and for the occasional career discussion.
Be prepared for a very direct approach. He/she can immediately dive into what needs to be improved or changed with little forewarning.
Focus on results and performance. Feedback should be direct and action-oriented. Point out how he/she can channel his/her energy to maximize efficiency.
Suggest roles or projects where he/she can lead and have a significant impact. Career discussions should highlight his/her leadership skills and growth opportunities.
In tailoring the 1-to-1 to his/her profile, the goal is to channel his/her energy towards achieving ambitious goals while recognizing his/her need for challenges and leadership. This will maximize his/her contribution to the team while supporting his/her professional growth.

Feedback

Feedback is a gift a manager gives to their co-worker. Giving Julien feedback means telling them what's going well and what's not. Feedback comes in two main forms: positive feedback, which aims to reinforce existing behavior, and negative feedback, which aims to correct it. It's an essential tool, enabling awareness and continuous improvement in terms of skill and behavior. When adapted to Julien's personality profile, it can transform his/her perspectives and encourage significant growth.

Whether positive or negative, feedback must be factual, i.e. based on observable behavior that can be seen, heard, measured and described, and non-judgmental, as it is not aimed at the person but at the way they act.

The basics of successful feedback in 4 steps:

  1. Invite Julien to receive feedback.
  2. Describe his/her behavior factually.
  3. Describe the impact, results and consequences of this behavior.
  4. Ask for the behavior to be adjusted or reinforced.

When is best for Julien?

Preferably late morning.

Negative or corrective feedback

Negative feedback, when presented constructively, identifies areas requiring improvement. It is not intended to discourage, but provide guidance towards better performance by highlighting areas that require attention and adjustment.

Approach the topic very directly and without any fuss. Be specific about mistakes and omissions.
Emphasize the significant impact of these mistakes on performance and results.
Define clear expectations for change and set challenges to redirect his/her energy towards improvements.
Please note: this should be adapted to the specific context...
Balance effective decision-making with consideration of team needs and contributions.

Positive or reinforcing feedback

Positive feedback recognizes and values effective actions and behavior, reinforcing motivation and commitment. It plays a crucial role in encouraging the repetition of positive behavior.

Acknowledge his/her strong leadership skills and ability to make quick and effective decisions in difficult situations.
Highlight the impact of his/her leadership on overall performance and team dynamism.
Encourage him/her to continue to lead boldly, while developing a greater sensitivity to the needs of the team.
Please note: this should be adapted to the specific context...
Acknowledge his/her ability to lead and make decisions, while encouraging him/her to balance effectiveness and collaboration.

Delegation

Delegation is a management tool that involves entrusting team members with tasks and responsibilities, while encouraging employee development. It encourages trust, autonomy and efficiency within the team, contributing to greater productivity and a dynamic work environment.

Any task that can be delegated should be delegated! Delegation is essential, because there's only so much work a manager can do on their own. By shunting tasks down the hierarchy, a manager can concentrate on managing people and focus on high value-added tasks.

A delegation process must be put in place to delegate complex and risky tasks:

  • Define the minimum requirement, i.e. the expected result
  • Set a precise deadline
  • Identify the risks of possible mistakes and take the necessary steps to help co-workers avoid them
  • Detail the progressive steps required to achieve results. Each step must have a specific objective and a date
  • Hold a delegation meeting to ask the co-worker to accept their new tasks and explain the process.
  • Monitor the delegation progress by means of 1-to-1 meetings (see above). At each stage, check the date and whether the objective has been achieved.
assign tasks that require quick decision-making and determined action. Significant challenges mobilize his/her attention and energy.
give him/her full responsibility for projects or tasks, allowing him/her to demonstrate his/her ability to deliver results under his/her own leadership.
when delegating tasks, be succinct and focused on impact. He/she prefers communication that gets straight to the point, with a focus on effectiveness and efficiency.
Maximize commitment and performance, leveraging his/her focus on action, need for autonomy and desire for quick results.
Clarify the importance of respecting procedures and interpersonal relationships while pursuing objectives.
Risk of bossiness, which can lead to team resistance or poor communication.
Request a presentation of the results with specific data and facts that show how the objectives were achieved. He/she will want to demonstrate his/her success in a tangible way.
