Limits and responsible use

DISC is a descriptive framework, not a medical or psychological diagnosis. A color or score does not determine identity, ability, integrity or future performance. Instrument quality and evidence must be assessed for the intended use.

Use DISC as a descriptive language for behavior. Never treat one color, score or snapshot as a medical or psychological diagnosis.
