The Secrets
of Great Teamwork

A Modern Theory with Ancient Roots

Aliquam malesuada The idea of building a picture of a personality by combining a set of basic elements is a very old one, though its original incarnations have little to do with modern personality profiling. It was the ancient Greeks who first thought about the workings of the human personality, at least in a systematic manner. The roots of this idea may even predate the Greeks, but it was Hippocrates who first made a consistent attempt to describe behavior.  

William Marston and DISC

The DISC Personality System was inspired by and based on William Marston’s book the Emotions of Normal People, a seminal work that was influenced by the works of Hippocrates and Carl Jung among others. Dr. William Moulton Marston (1893–1947) leaves a vast legacy. This was the ultimate prototype of the DISC profiling technique: a pair of axes producing a set of four interconnected factors, initially called Dominance, Inducement, Submission and Compliance. (Inducement and Submission are now more generally known as 'Influence' and 'Steadiness'.)

He was a renowned lawyer and psychologist, invented an early form of the lie detector, created the DISC model of Personality, authored self-help books and created the popular Wonder Woman comics. He was a man ahead of his time in terms of his ideas and philosophies. He was born in Cliftondale, Massachusetts, and obtained a law degree in 1918 and graduated from Harvard with a PhD in Psychology in 1921. After teaching at American University in Washington DC, Marston travelled to Universal Studios in California in 1929, where he spent a year as Director of Public Services. Marston, though well respected by the psychological community, was often critical of their approach and set about developing tools that emphasized observable behavior and practical applications to everyday life. These tools were developed to increase motivation, understanding and adaptation of behavior. The Marston DISC model has been in the public domain for many years now, and several publishers have developed universally accepted tools based on it that are valid and reliable for use in schools and the workplace.
