What's the difference between Everything DiSC and TraitLab?

Everything DiSC is a workplace personality assessment platform that uses the DiSC model—four basic behavioral styles (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness)—typically delivered through certified coaches and trainers.

TraitLab integrates multiple personality models, including research-validated measures of personality traits, character strengths, working style, and interpersonal patterns—all in one comprehensive, self-service platform designed for organizations.

TraitLab's Comprehensive Approach

TraitLab goes beyond simple behavioral styles to provide a complete picture of personality traits, strengths, interests, and working preferences.
How it works

Beyond four behavioral styles

While DiSC provides a snapshot of behavioral tendencies across four styles, TraitLab measures personality across 45 distinct traits, giving you unprecedented depth and nuance.

Understand not just how people behave, but why they behave that way—revealing patterns in thinking, feeling, and relating to others that four styles simply can't capture.

Discover untapped strengths

DiSC tells you about behavioral preferences, but it doesn't identify your character strengths—the qualities you lean on when you're at your best.

TraitLab reveals your unique ranking across 24 research-validated character strengths, with practical guidance on how to apply them in professional and personal contexts.

TraitLab identifies your character strengths, going beyond DiSC behavioral styles to reveal what makes you exceptional.

Explore career paths and opportunities

DiSC assessments focus on improving current workplace performance, but they don't help you explore potential career directions based on personality fit.

TraitLab allows you to compare personality profiles with over 700 occupations, revealing strengths, challenges, and opportunities across different career paths—invaluable for career coaching and professional development.

Self-service platform, instant access

Everything DiSC typically requires working with certified facilitators, adding time and cost to implementation. Optional certification programs can cost $3,000 or more.

TraitLab Pro is completely self-service—create your account, purchase credits, and distribute assessments at any scale, all without certification or facilitation fees. Your team gets immediate access to comprehensive results through an intuitive web platform.

TraitLab Pro provides a self-service platform with instant setup, no certification required.
