Agree on this first
- Only those who want to. Don't pressure anyone. A group is fine with someone sitting out.
- Each person decides what to share. How much of a result to show is personal.
- Say why together. "So we get along more easily" changes the mood.
Things not to say
D"You're D, so you're bossy"
Don't use a type to corner someone.
I"I types can't be trusted"
Don't judge reliability by type.
S"You're S, so you do it"
Don't use a tendency to hand off roles.
C"C types are no fun"
Don't leave people out because of their type.

Use it like this
- To describe yourself. "I do better hearing the conclusion first" invites others to share too.
- To make agreements. Like the team report's suggested agreements, settle what to be careful about in advance.
- To find gaps. A missing tendency isn't anyone's weakness; it's something everyone covers on purpose.
Remember thisGood use never ends in "you're like that because"; it ends in "let's do this."
Try it together
- Those who want to make a team link and take the test. The team report opens from two people.
- Each picks one sentence that fits and one that surprised them.
- Pick one suggested agreement from the team report and adopt it.
Questions that lead to good conversations
- "Which sentence in your report fits you best?"
- "Which one surprised you? Why?"
- "Is there anything we should be careful about with each other?"
- "If I look worn out, how would you like me to say something?"
Think of it as swapping user manuals, not guessing the right answer.
Common questions
What if someone doesn't want to share?
Respect it. The team report shows only those who joined. Not asking why matters too.
Can a group leader judge members by DISC?
No. DISC results can't be grounds for evaluation, selection or forcing roles. Use them only to understand each other.
What if someone teases others about their result?
Even as a joke, point out "That's their choice, not their type." Agree at the start that DISC is for understanding each other.
