TURNING TTI SUCCESS INSIGHTS’ ASSESSMENTS INTO . . .

in the fall of 2024 as the primary graphical representation for Style
Insights reports.

The DISC Continuum is a new view of DISC—a new way to
graphically represent the results of the Style Insights DISC assess-

ment. The horizontal orientation of the continuum graphs helps to
more effectively represent how DISC scores provide a complete and
balanced picture of an individual’s characteristic behaviors. TTI has
always used all scores of DISC, not just the highest score, to create
the most accurate and effective behavioral profile. The continuum

makes this much easier to grasp.

Instead of reporting DISC results as high or low in the four dimen-
sions, the horizontal continuum assigns scores for eight behavioral
styles and represents them on an intensity scale to show the stron-
gest tendencies. The most intense (highest) scores reflect the stron-

gest tendencies, and they are the scores farthest from the midline for
each dimension, either to the left or the right.

Just like the traditional vertical graphs, the horizontal continuum
graphs have a midline at a score of 50. However, all “low” scores,

below 50, are converted to the left side of the continuum by sub-
tracting them from 100. This creates an independent scoring of the
unique behavioral styles represented by the left side of each of the
four continuums (dimensions).

This approach eliminates “high” and “low” scores for each dimen-

sion, which were often interpreted as “good” or “bad” by many
people. Instead, we have distinct behavioral styles that can appear
anywhere in the continuum of behavior for that dimension.

Instead of saying a person is a “low D” to describe their approach
to dealing with problems and challenges, instead they are displaying
