DISC vs MBTI

For the past 2 days, attended the DISC training by Thomas International. It was a really good one! Learned loads... Yup, and found out that I'm a CS profile. And surprisingly that my work mask & self image is pretty much the same - which means that I'm not masking myself at work, am very comfortable with myself and my work environment.

And finally learned how to read the DISC graph as a whole and make logical conclusions about it. It's just interesting when you can make conclusions of a person's behaviour by only reading the graphs ;) Well, if I'm to be a pro at it - would need to constantly read graphs, interpret them & get my colleagues to verify my interpretations. Practice makes perfect!

Also did some googling on my own time about the differences between DISC & MBTI. And what I found out is that MBTI is more of a personality assessment while DISC is on "how" you react to your environment profile. DISC was developed for the workplace - which means that it is used for recruitment, leadership development, succession planning, managing people etc. While MBTI is more on just understanding your own self.
