WHAT IS EXTENDED DISC&REG


EXTENDED DISC&REG/FINXS&REG – THE WHAT AND THE WHY

There is no doubt that the ‘people factor’ is one of the most important issues
to be dealt with as organizations strive to increase productivity.

People skills are central to personal and organizational success.

The Extended DISC® System and the revolutionary FinxS® Platform represent a
structured framework for the more effective management of people and for
fostering effective collaboration and enhanced productivity.

If the issue involves people, our assessments can make a difference!


EXTENDED DISC® VS. DISC


ORIGIN

Carl G. Jung created the foundations for DISC theory in his book The
Psychological Types by defining a four dimensional behavioural map.  His ideas
were based on defining two behavioural axes; sensing-intuition and
thinking-feeling, and the four main behavioural traits that they composed.

As a result, the four-quadrant thinking of human behaviour was developed. A few
variations of the theory also exist that use, for example, eight or sixteen
categories of behavioural styles.  The over-simplification of behaviour and its
classifications have proven to be a weakness of these DISC systems.

Extended DISC® assessments are based on the DISC model. However, there are
fundamental differences.


PERCEIVED NEED TO ADJUST

Traditional DISC tools only measure conscious behaviour, despite the fact that
we do respond to changes in the environment.

By overlooking this perceived need to adjust that is reflected in
the unconscious behaviour, there is no so-called test-retest validity. This has
the potential to skew developmental plans.

 

Extended DISC® provides insights into both the conscious and unconscious
domains. The reports address the individual’s Natural Style and the Perceived
Need To Adjust.

This means that the individual and those who utilize the reports can make
assessments as to range of considerations.

Does the Perceived Need To Adjust appropriately reflect the situation?If so, is
the adjustment evident, can it be supported?

Could the individual be better deployed?

Could these explain to the individual some of the stress that they are
experiencing in the role as the desired behaviour is too far from their comfort
zone?


DEPTH OF ANALYSIS

Extended DISC® identifies 160 behavioural styles – 40 for each of the four
quadrants. Many DISC tools identify a fraction of those styles.

This gives the appearance of generic reporting and impacts negatively on the
credibility of the tools among users. In large groups, there is the high
probability that participants may get identical reports.

In addition to the depth of the identified styles, Extended DISC® has over
200,000,000 unique DISC results to ensure individuals receive very personalized
and specific results.

For example, Extended DISC® results reveal the traits that may be hidden during
the interview but show up once new recruits get settled.


TECHNOLOGY

From the outset, Extended DISC® has been a pace setter with respect to the
deployment of technology in the area of behavioural assessments.

However, no single leap has had the impact of the revolutionary FinxS® Platform.
FinxS® offers at no additional cost the equivalent of an electronic blank canvas
on which you can create the kinds of reports that you desire.

From own branding to images, text and access to the vast FinxS® Competency
Library there is no limit to what you can create. At the same time, the FinxS®
Platform allows you to be as hands-off as you wish.

We offer turn-key assessment services with options for coaching and formal Power
User Certification.
