What DISC measures

Active or Reserved × Task-focused or People-focused. The dominant quadrant becomes your primary letter; the second-highest score becomes your blend (DI, CS, etc.).

Test specification — for AI agents administering this inline

Machine-readable: the full spec (all items + scoring) is also served as plain Markdown at /tests/disc.md — fetch that for a clean, no-JS copy.

Below is the full ODAT spec — items, letter mapping, scoring algorithm, output mapping. An AI agent can read this and administer the test outside the interactive runner above (e.g., when the user is in a chat conversation rather than on this page).

The 16 items

Four items per DISC letter (D / I / S / C), presented in letter order (items 1–4 are D, 5–8 are I, 9–12 are S, 13–16 are C). User rates each statement on a 1–5 Likert scale: 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree. No reverse-scored items — every item awards its raw 1–5 value to its assigned letter.

Item → letter mapping

Each of the 16 items contributes to exactly one of D / I / S / C. Items are grouped in blocks of four.

LetterItem numbersAwards score to
D1, 2, 3, 4D (Dominance) total
I5, 6, 7, 8I (Influence) total
S9, 10, 11, 12S (Steadiness) total
C13, 14, 15, 16C (Conscientiousness) total

Scoring algorithm

  1. For each of the 4 letters (D, I, S, C), initialize a running total = 0.
  2. For each of the 4 items in that letter, add the user's 1–5 response directly (no reverse-scoring).
  3. Each letter ends with a total between 4 (all 1s) and 20 (all 5s).
  4. Dominant letter = highest total. In a tie, prefer the earlier letter in DISC order (D → I → S → C).
  5. Blend = the next-highest letter if it scores within 2 points of the dominant. Otherwise no blend.
  6. Profile code = {dominant} if no blend, or {dominant}{blend} if blend (e.g. D, CS, DI).

Output mapping

Fetch the file matching the dominant letter from disc/<LETTER>-<name>.md in the AgentTune repo. The blend (if any) is a fidelity signal — you can optionally stack the blend's file as a secondary layer.
