Kirnova DISC

We ask how you work when nothing much is riding on it, and then how you work when people are counting on you. Some people answer both the same way. Others move a long way, and holding a shape that isn't your natural one costs energy.

• Dominance.

  Drive, appetite for a challenge, and how you move through friction.

• Influence.

  How you express yourself, persuade, and carry a room.

• Steadiness.

  Patience, consistency, loyalty, and how long a pace you can hold.

• Conscientiousness.

  Accuracy, structure, standards, and finishing properly.

It's 48 questions, with two check questions mixed in so autopilot answering shows up, and takes about 10 minutes on a phone. You get each style read twice, with its range, and a plain sentence on where you're stretching. The report is yours to keep, and you can retake it after 30 days.

You, if you want better words for how you work. A coach or L&D consultant who wants to know the client sooner. A manager who can see that somebody’s work self and real self differ.

Kirnova DISC is an independent assessment, not a piece of TIGER. A TIGER Core sitting does ask 24 DISC questions out of 48 (TIGER Light asks 16 of 32) to feed its five readings, but that layer is not this report, and this report is the one that reads each style twice.

Arjun and his answers are invented. Here are two of his four styles, each read twice.

• This is not a licensed DISC.

  No outside body has approved it. The questions are ours and the scoring is ours, and we claim no equivalence to any branded DISC product.

• Style is not talent.

  DISC describes how you tend to approach challenge, people, pace and rules. It says nothing about intelligence, character or how good you are at the job.

• No score decides anything.

  It is one input beside interviews, work samples, references and a person's judgement. There is no pass mark and nothing that could become one.

• The profile name is demoted.

  A real report does resolve a short name for the pattern across the four, beneath the readings, with a caveat that a name near a boundary changes between sittings. It is not the headline, on purpose.

• Same in, same out.

  The same answers always give the same result, and every past sitting can be opened again exactly as it was.

• Not clinical, not legal.

  It is about workplace tendencies the person reported themselves, and nothing else.

DISC results are decision support, not decisions. They describe workplace tendencies reported by the person answering. They are not a clinical, medical, diagnostic or legal instrument, and they are never a substitute for interviews, references, work samples or human judgement.
