Psychometric Testing
If you search the Internet for more information on DiSC Profiling you'll find several resources on psychometric testing. I stumbled across this definition today:
Psychometric testing is a tool used mainly in the recruitment process. It is recognized as an efficient way to gain insight into a person’s personality and psychological thinking. It can help develop team spirit in the workplace and assess an individual’s priorities.
Psychometric testing is usually an office-based procedure, although the test itself can be conducted anywhere. Many are processed online using software applications. The test should only take around 15 minutes to complete, although depending on the depth of the test, it may take longer. There are tests to assess sales capability, management styles and social personality traits. Psychometric testing can be used in the development or selection process in business. A number of businesses around the world use psychometric testing on new or potential employees. The results of psychometric testing give management an idea of how the employee will fit in with company ideals and policies.

Personalities and Performance
The July issue of Training Magazine contains a very interesting article titled Personalities and Performance. The article is part of their Talent Management issue and it mentions the MBTI and DiSC as part of their discussion on personality assessments. The article provides a terrific example of a financial services company using the assessments for growth and development rather than for pre-employment screening.
The July issue of Training Magazine - Personalities and Performance article begins on page 36.
I also recommend the cover story titled Keys to the Kingdom.
