DiSC ® Indra ™
In-depth Relationship Assessment
This Assessment reveals an individual's preferred style of behavior in relationships. It will also explain reasons you are more or less comfortable in a relationship and why some relationships take more energy than others. It highlights areas of compatibility and incompatibility, pinpointing individuals' differences and providing insight about how to work and be together more effectively.
Many people think that by eliminating our differences conflict will go away. However our differences don't cause conflict, the judgments we make about our differences do. DiSC ® Indra ™ provides a map for understanding each other's view of how we handle the relationship dynamics of comfort and effectiveness
Two dimensions are measured:
• How you perceive your environment: favorable or unfavorable
As a result whether you want to affiliate or detach in relationships
• How you perceive yourself: more or less powerful than your environment
As a result whether you want to control or adapt in your relationships
It is a circumplex model with 16 patterns:
Demanding
Competitive
Pioneering
Convincing
Expressive
Sociable
Cheerful
Receptive |

|
Cooperative
Patient
Modest
Careful
Private
