DISC Assessment
DISC assessment is a personality assessment tool based on the DISC personality theory of psychologist William Marston. Marston's theory centers around four different personality traits: Dominance, Inducement, Submission, and Compliance. This theory was then developed into a personality assessment tool (personality profile test) by industrial psychologist Walter Vernon Clarke (July 26, 1905 - Jan. 1, 1978). The version used today was developed from the original assessment by John Geier, who simplified the test for better, more concise results. While DISC assessment is used in many fields to gauge things like work habits, management potential, conflict resolution, and leadership style, there are still many questions concerning its validity and reliability.

“Soundless as dots—on a Disc of Snow—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
