Extended DISC®: Smarter Hiring, Stronger Teams, Better Leadership

Gain deep insights into how your people work – and how to help them thrive.

Extended DISC® is a behavioural assessment tool that helps businesses hire the right people, build high-performing teams, and develop confident, effective leaders. By measuring both natural and adjusted behaviours, it reveals how individuals operate day-to-day – and how they adapt under pressure.

At ConsultingHQ, we use Extended DISC to help New Zealand businesses make better people decisions with lasting impact.

What Extended DISC reveals

Unlike generic personality tests, Extended DISC focuses on behaviour – what people do, not just who they are. It measures two key dimensions:

  • Natural behaviour: your instinctive style, how you prefer to work
  • Adjusted behaviour: how you adapt in response to your environment

This dual insight helps identify not only where people are most effective, but also where they may be under strain, misaligned with their role, or at risk of disengagement.

Transform how you hire, lead and manage

Extended DISC provides practical insights leaders and teams can act on – turning awareness into results.
  • Hire with precision: Identify candidates naturally suited to the role, team, and business – before making the hire.
  • Onboard with purpose: Tailor onboarding and early support to match the new hire’s behavioural style, improving engagement and retention.
  • Build balanced teams: Understand individual and team dynamics, uncover communication gaps, and resolve friction early.
  • Develop confident leaders: Equip managers to lead authentically by understanding their own style and how they respond to pressure.
  • Reduce people issues: Avoid costly mismatches, misunderstandings and misaligned expectations through better behavioural fit.
