DISC Theory Primer

Inventor of DISC…and Wonder Woman

In 1923, Dr. William Moulton Marston published a book called “The Emotions of Normal People,”. In it, he identified the four major patterns of human behavior as:

• Dominance
• Influence
• Steadiness
• Conscientiousness

No one person’s behavior ever falls 100% under one category,  but generally, one pattern will emerge as dominant with varying degrees of the other three providing the balance.

Trivia: The good doctor also wrote comic books and was the creator of Wonder Woman.
