As well as DISC assessment, Discus handles relationship reporting, team building and negotiation management.

Great Pricing – Discus works completely on a pay-per-profile basis, so you only pay for the profiles you use. There’s no up-front charge, and no ongoing license fee – instead, you just pay a small standard charge for each profile you create. To maximize Discus’ cost-effectiveness further, there’s Outline profiling. Ideal for experienced DISC users or an Outline profile will provide minimal DISC information from a questionnaire, at a significantly reduced fee.
Free Features – Discus 4 offers a host of features that are completely free to use. Job matching and profiling, relationship analysis, team profiling and building, and many more besides, are all available for unlimited use at no charge.
DISC Profiling
- Quick and Easy Questionnaires
Create a profile through an on-screen questionnaire, or use a printed question set (available for free). Discus 4 also integrates the Discus Online account we’ll set up for you, so you can create DISC profiles across the Web. - Direct and Relevant Reporting
Discus’ reports include a complete array of graphical displays and assessments, as well as a natural language description of up to twenty-one different aspects of a person’s behaviour. - Relationship Reporting
A feature that will examine two separate DISC profiles and report on the important features of their likely working relationship. - Printing and e-mailing
Every report in Discus 4 can be output under your complete control. Choose which sections are included in a report, and then print or e-mail directly from your desktop.
Job Profile Designer
Discus has Job Profile design facilities for newcomers and experts alike. You can define your job’s needs through a simple questionnaire, or base it on an existing profile. For experienced users, you can even define the Job Profile purely by hand.
- Job Profile Library
To get you started with Job Profiling, Discus comes complete with a built-in library of over fifty standard Job Profiles, that you can use as a basis for creating your own. - Merging Job Profiles
A great new tool helps you build Job Profiles as a group exercise. If you collect views of a role from many different perspectives, Discus can merge all those perspectives together to provide an optimum new Job Profile. - New Job Profile Reporting
Each Job Profile, including those you create yourself, has its own report in natural language. In Discus, this report has been specially redeveloped and extended to make it even more useful than ever
Job Profiling is the process of defining a job or role in DISC terms, so that it can be matched against ordinary DISC profiles to establish a behavioural match between the two. Discus has always been at the forefront of Job Profiling technology but with the new Discus, Axiom Software have added even more new features.
Negotiation Management
Discus has an entire section dedicated to helping optimize negotiation. Contact Profiles build a model of a person’s behaviour indirectly, without the need for a DISC questionnaire, and can make recommendations for productive business interaction with that individual.
- Contact Profiling Couldn’t be Simpler
Just answer twelve simple questions, and Discus 4 can generate a behavioural model of the person you describe. - Quick Call Questionnaires
These special questionnaires are ideal for modelling a person’s style interactively. Adjust the model on-screen during a call, and the Contact Profile will adapt immediately to your changes. - In-depth Reporting
A standard Contact Profile report consists of seven separate sections, along with a useful checklist covering basic ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ when negotiating with an individual. - DISC Compatibility
Contact Profiles work using the same basic principles as DISC, so they can also be described and analyzed in DISC terms. Discus 4 can even provide a full DISC report for a candidate profiled this way.
Team Building
Behavioural team building, management and reporting is included in Discus 4 as a completely free service. So long as you have a DISC profile for each member, you can model and assess the dynamics and working patterns of any teams you wish.
- Drag-and-drop Team Building
You can import any individual’s DISC profile into your team, and freely assign and reassign that individual within the team to explore the potential effects. - Understanding the Team
Discus 4 will provide a comprehensive team report in natural language, covering not only the general structure of the team, but also its key relationship issues, dynamics, roles and leadership questions. - Team Attitudes at a Glance
The completely new ‘PPF’ (Pace-Perspective-Focus) team attitudes assessment extends DISC to provide a model of any member’s attitudes towards a team, and the type of role they will typically fulfill. - Team Profiling
Using the Team Profiler tool, Discus 4 can even recommend ideal behavioural combinations for you. Based on a team definition you provide, the Team Profiler will search for team combinations that match your ideal.
