DiSC Graphs 1 & 2

When running Online DiSC Classic 2.0 Profiles and DiSC Classic 2 Plus Profiles in your EPIC Account, you have the ability to turn on or off Graphs 1 and 2, and the tally box scores.

First, a little information about each of the graphs:

Graph 1: These are your "Most" responses for each of the four scales (D, i, S, and C).

Graph 2: These are your "Least" responses for each of the four scales.

Graph 3: This graph is the result of combining your "Most" choices with your "Least" choices and is used to determine your highest DiSC dimension, Intensity Index scores, and Classical Profile Pattern. (Graph 3 is automatically included in the Online DiSC Classic 2.0 and DiSC Classic 2 Plus Reports).

Tally Box Scores: Shows a summary and the differences of your "Most" and "Least" choices for each of the scales.
