What is the difference between the DiSC Profile and TraitLab?

The DiSC and DiSC Profile assessments describe individuals as a blend of four personality profiles — dominance, influence, steadiness, and conscientiousness — which originated from a 1928 book, Emotions of Normal People by William Moulton Marston.

TraitLab is a platform that integrates several personality models, including typologies similar to the MBTI, to help you understand your personality, career interests, interpersonal style, and unique strengths.

TraitLab goes beyond simple personality types and includes dozens of personality traits, interests, and a unique strengths profile.
How it works

Get the complete picture

Individuals are complex. TraitLab uses measures over 80 different dimensions to identify your combination of personality traits, career interests, interpersonal style, and character strengths.

While millions of people share similar DiSC profiles, your TraitLab results are unique to you.

Discover untapped strengths

TraitLab identifies your top character strengths, then suggests ways to leverage these strengths in your daily life.

Unlike the DiSC, TraitLab goes beyond a general personality description, translating it into more practical character strengths that you can exercise in professional and personal contexts.

Unlike the DiSC profile assessment, TraitLab highlights your unique set of character strengths which you can use inside and outside of the workplace.

Consider unexpected career paths

DiSC profile assessments broadly describe your personality, but they do not provide any insight into how your personality and interests align with other occupations or career paths.

TraitLab allows you to easily explore how your personality profile compares with hundreds of occupations. These comparisons can reveal varying strengths and challenges across occupations, so you can better understand the trade-offs and opportunities behind different career paths.

Frequently asked questions

How is TraitLab different from other personality assessments?

Most online assessments are not based on real published research, so you can't connect your results to useful information about habits, career choices, relationships, and other practical aspects of your life.

TraitLab uses assessments and concepts from actual scientific research, then makes it easy to see how your results relate to important life areas.

How long is the TraitLab test?

Most people will start seeing their first results after about 10 minutes (about 100 questions).

If you want to see every possible result from TraitLab, the full assessment can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes. However, you can always save your progress and take the assessment across several sittings.

Can I retake the assessment?

Yes! With TraitLab Plus, you can reset your profile and results every 30 days from your account settings.

How can I purchase TraitLab Plus for someone else?

With your TraitLab Plus, account, you can purchase invite codes for clients, teammates, and anyone else you think might benefit from TraitLab.

Visit the Invites section, where you can send invite codes to others, see when they've been redeemed, and collaborate on assessment results.

Can I share my results with someone else?

Absolutely! If you want to share and compare your results with anyone, you can simply share your public profile.

For example, here's my own public profile here at TraitLab.
