The disc system was created by William Moulton Martson in one of his books which explains in detail the behavior and emotions of a human in an effective way. In his book he has described four styles of personality i.e. submission, dominance, compliance and inducement. Everyone of these types manages their interpersonal emotions and behaviors in their own unique way.
The Disc system is there for us to help understand the behavior or people and how they interact in their normal lives and under certain situations.
After learning about each of the personality types one can further tailor his communication towards the specific type of personality.
It is easy to understand each of these personality types as they have fundamental differences.
The Disc system consists of four compass points which are influence (I), conscientiousness (C), dominance (D) and steadiness (S). Marston observed that a person can define his personality through one or two of these 4 traits that fit them most closely.
This gives us a total of around 12 combinations of different personalities, here we will be focusing only on SC personality.
