Traditional DISC vs. DISCflex™: What’s the Difference?
Core Concept
Report Personalization
A self-assessment tool based on the four behavioral styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance.
Often provides general, "cookiecutter" information and tips based primarily on the highestscoring factor(s).
An enhanced DISC assessment that focuses on flexing (adjusting) one's natural behavior to better suit different situations. Includes sub-factor analysis, providing a deeper level of insight.
Reports are highly personalized to the individual's specific scores for all four factors, providing unique insights and tailored tips.
360° Feedback Component
Typically does not include an external perspective in the standard report.
Incorporates a 360° component by including 3rd-Party Perception (How co-workers, friends, or family see the person's behavior), which can be compared to self-perception.
WORxK Solutions x DISCflex™: Our Why
We use DISCflex™ because it supports what the WORxK Principle™ is built on behavioral agility. Our work focuses on helping people understand their tendencies, recognize how those tendencies show up at work, and adjust their behavior in ways that strengthen communication, teamwork, and leadership
Traditional assessments stop at awareness DISCflex™ goes further by giving personalized insights and practical strategies people can apply right away It helps individuals respond with intention, adapt to different situations, and improve how they interact with others.
This tool fits our approach because it turns self-awareness into action, and action into measurable improvement. It helps teams communicate better, navigate conflict more confidently, and lead with greater impact.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS
WORxK Solutions continues to offer our signature Career Development Workshops. These sessions are now enhanced through the WORxK Principle™, allowing us to connect behavioral insights with practical career tools. We can also incorporate DISCflex™ into each presentation to help clients understand their behavioral tendencies and use that awareness to make smarter career decisions.
