The workplace can be tricky to navigate, not necessarily because of challenging work or pressing projects but because of the people you collaborate with daily. There is no set rulebook for the best way to resolve a conflict with a co-worker or how to keep an employee motivated. But there is the DISC assessment.

The DISC assessment is a set of questions that analyzes employees based on behaviors and preferences rather than intelligence and aptitudes. It then groups people into four main personality types. These classifications can help us identify what our co-workers value, what makes them tick and their typical approach to communication and solving problems, creating more synergy in the office.

But, as an individual, you can take the assessment a step further. You can use this information about yourself to decide what type of industry or position you’re most well-suited for and seek out jobs based on your DISC profile. Instead of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, you can pursue a career that aligns with your traits and natural inclinations.

Below, we’ll further discuss each DISC personality type and the specific roles they are most likely to thrive in.

According to the DISC assessment, people fall into one of four personality types: Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S) and Conscientiousness (C). Each one is its own little universe of various traits, behaviors, communication styles and work preferences that help us understand how people in that particular bucket may approach or react to social settings and workplace situations.

To better familiarize yourself with each type, here is a breakdown of some of their most prevalent characteristics:

If you don’t know your personality type and want to learn more, take the DISC assessment. It can help you better understand yourself and how you fit into a work dynamic.

The DISC assessment teaches us a great deal about ourselves, including our motivations, fears, stressors, preferred work pace (fast-paced vs. cautious), work style (independent vs. collaborative) and level of agreeableness (questioning vs. accepting).

These characteristics help us identify the type of workplace that would provide us with the most comfort and enjoyment. Technical (or “hard”) skills aside, DISC profile job matching is one of the best ways to lead you down a successful career path.

Dominance types’ outspoken nature and strong will make them well-suited for management and leadership roles. Otherwise, they may lean toward a position where they can work more independently. Additionally, they thrive in fast-paced environments where they can shoot for the stars and clearly see the progress and impact they have.

These individuals are most likely to excel in C-suite, management, legal, business or manufacturing industries. More specifically, the traits and behaviors of D types are a great fit for the following careers:

Influence personality types do their best when they can collaborate and build relationships, not when stuck behind a desk. Their liveliness and charm make it easy for them to cultivate trust with clients, co-workers and managers. They also prefer new adventures over a mundane routine. Because of this, they fit well within industries like media, events, human resources and even some areas of the arts where they can work in a hustling and bustling environment.

If you’re an I type, these occupations align closely with your personality:

Steadiness types are just as they sound: cool, calm, collected and drawn toward consistency. Their sincerity helps them to form trust, and they have a natural urge to help others. This is all in addition to their desire for order and clear guidelines. For these reasons, S types are cut out for work in education, health care, administration or even tech support.

The following are the best jobs for S personality types that fit their behaviors and professional needs:

The Conscientiousness group is full of critical thinkers. Their peak performance zone involves solving problems using logic, analytics and proven methods—typically independently. They lean toward facts and objectivity in every situation and love to show off their expertise through quality work. With this mindset, they often find their niche in engineering, finance, health care, and information technology (IT).

Here are the best jobs for type C personality:

Understanding your DISC personality type can significantly change how you approach work and career decisions. Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness types all have their own quirks and unique behaviors.

Understanding where you fit into the matrix can also help you understand which jobs accommodate your natural tendencies. Whether you’re drawn to leadership, creativity or stability, there’s a job out there for you that will set you up for success and career satisfaction. Allow DISC to help you find it.
