	DISC (''Dominance'', ''Inducement'', ''Submission'', ''Compliance'') analysis is a strategic tool for evaluating behavior often used internally in an organisation by managers to improve group dynamics and the well-being of the individual. DISC is a very simple and easy to use tool for improving relations, resolving conflicts, enhances motivation, and supports self-growth by obtaining a better understanding of the individual’s personality. Misunderstandings happen daily and can lead to stress, unhappiness and low working effort. DISC was created by psychiatrist and professor William Moulton Marston, who believed all humans have psychological motives but they differ from human to human. The tool assesses the level of ''Dominance'', ''Inducement'', ''Submission'', and ''Compliance'' an individual possesses by referencing the norm. <ref>''Marston, W.

	It assesses the behavioral level of the four traits ''Dominance (D)'', ''Inducement (I)'', ''Submission (S)'' and ''Compliance (C)''. Different variations of the DISC letters exist such as ''Inducement/Influence'', ''Submission/Steadiness'', and ''Compliance/Conscientiousness''. However, the overall interpretation is the same. In the figure below the different ~~characteristica~~ is shown. DISC can be considered as a “color palette of personality” where every person has their own unique blend. It is possible but highly unlikely to only have one of the four traits. Usually it is a combination.
