DISC tells you how a person likes to work, so you can plan the interview
DISC does not measure skill. It describes habits. Does this person push for fast decisions, win people over, keep things steady or check every detail? Knowing that before the interview lets you ask about the parts of the role that may not suit them. DISC is one of five personality tests in Goodfit, next to the Big Five, MBTI, Work Values and Emotional Intelligence.
What candidates answer and what lands in your report
Statements
Candidates rate 40 statements about how they work
Each statement describes a habit at work. The candidate picks an answer on a five-point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. There is no timer, and most people finish in about 10 minutes. Goodfit records how long each answer took.
- Five-point scale for every statement
- Some statements are worded in reverse
- No timer, so nobody is rushed
- Works on a phone or a laptop

Style scores
Each style gets a score from 0 to 100 and the top two form a named blend
Goodfit scores Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness from the answers. The two highest styles form a blend with a plain name, such as the Persuader or the Planner. There are 16 named blends, so two people with the same top style can still differ.
- Dominance: drive and quick decisions
- Influence: persuasion and sociability
- Steadiness: patience and consistency
- Conscientiousness: precision and structure

Role fit
Goodfit sets a target range for each style from your job description
An accounts payable role suits a different style than a field sales role. Goodfit reads the job and sets a target range for each of the four styles. Every applicant for that job is compared with the same ranges. The list shows how many styles each person has in range.
- Ranges set once per job and kept for every applicant
- In range, above or below, with the gap in points
- No single pass or fail score
- Your team decides what a gap means

Interview questions
Each report suggests six interview questions for that candidate
The questions focus on the parts of the job where the candidate’s style may not fit the job. Each one names the style it checks and why it is worth asking. They are saved on the candidate page, so the interviewer sees them before the call.
- Written for this job and this person
- Each question names the style it checks
- Saved on the candidate page and in the PDF
- The report never says hire or do not hire

Answer check
Goodfit flags answers that look rushed or random
Some candidates click through without reading. Goodfit checks how fast each statement was answered, how often the middle option was picked and whether two opposite statements both got "agree". Each result is marked good, mixed or low quality.
- Answers under two seconds count as rushed
- Heavy use of the middle option is flagged
- Agreeing with two opposite statements is flagged
- Ask the candidate about a low-quality flag before you decide
Answer quality: Mixed
