The concept is simple really. Your DISC personality type is measured on a plane, with the vertical axis denoting whether you are more outgoing (up) or more reserved (down), and the horizontal axis denoting whether you are more task-oriented (left) or people-oriented (right).

If you are in the top left quadrant, you fall in the "Dominant" category. The D personality style is often direct and decisive. They would prefer to lead than follow, and lean towards leadership and management positions. They tend to have high self-confidence and are risk takers and problem solvers, which enables others to look to them for decisions and direction. They are self-reliant, but feel threatened by authority and can be defiant.

If you are in the top right quadrant, you fall in the "Influential" category. The I personality style is not afraid to be the center of attention. They are enthusiastic, optimistic, talkative, persuasive, impulsive, and emotional. This personality type trusts others naturally, truly enjoys being around others, and functions best when around people and working in team.

If you are in the bottom right quadrant, you fall in the "Stabilized" category. The S personality type is known for being steady, stable, and predictable. They are even-tempered, friendly, sympathetic with others, and very generous. The S is understanding and listens well. Preferring close, personal relationships, the S is generally very open with loved ones, but can also be possessive at times and hold them close.

Finally, if you are in the bottom left quadrant, you fall in the "Cautious" category. The C personality style is accurate, precise, detail-oriented, and conscientious. They think very analytically and systematically and make decisions carefully with plenty of research and information to back it up. The C has very high standards for both themselves and others. Because they focus on the details and see what many other styles do not, they tend to be good problem solvers.
