At Happy, we believe that understanding yourself and others is key to building stronger teams and better relationships. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’re offering the Happy DISC Assessment—for free.
It’s a powerful tool designed to help you uncover your unique Workstyle, and it’s available to anyone!
What is DISC?
DISC is a widely recognized and trusted tool that helps individuals and teams better understand their communication styles and behaviors. By breaking down four key traits—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness—DISC offers a simple yet powerful framework for improving how people interact and collaborate in the workplace.
Each trait represents a different approach to behaviors like communication, problem-solving, decision-making, pace and more. By assessing team members along those dimensions, teams are able to recognize strengths, navigate differences, and work more effectively together.
Whether you're managing a team or looking to improve your own workstyle, DISC provides valuable insights that can enhance productivity and foster stronger relationships.
What Makes Happy DISC Special?
At Happy, we believe there is tremendous value in the DISC model. The DISC framework is easy to understand, yet incredibly impactful. It offers a window into how you approach tasks, communicate, and navigate challenges.
But we also understand that humans are diverse and nuanced and we wanted to develop an assessment with that in mind - so we took the DISC model a step further.
We’ve supercharged this classic approach by adding deeper insights and offering personalized coaching that fits who you are. With Happy, you get more than just an assessment—you get a tailored roadmap for growth and better communication.
With Happy, you’ll discover your Happy Workstyle, which falls into one of eight distinct categories. These Workstyles offer insights into how you approach tasks, relationships, and problem-solving.
The framework is built around the 4 primary types from the original DISC model:
- Driver (D): How you tackle obstacles and assert yourself.
- Influencer (I): How you engage and build connections with others.
- Stabilizer (S): How you maintain balance and rhythm at work.
- Calculator (C): How you manage structure and adhere to rules.
Then to provide even more depth, Happy goes beyond the foundational types by introducing 4 additional blended Workstyles. These blends capture the nuanced ways people combine different traits in their daily work:
- Catalyst (DI/ID): Dynamic and driven by connections.
- Relater (IS/SI): Calm and compassionate, focused on relationships.
- Coordinator (SC/CS): Steady and structured, balancing consistency and accuracy.
- Strategist (CD/DC): Analytical with a drive for results.
These eight Workstyles form a comprehensive system to understand how individuals collaborate and solve problems. However, the true power of Happy lies in its ability to recognize the unique subtleties within each Workstyle. For example, while two team members might both be classified as Drivers, Happy identifies the specific differences in their approach, helping tailor the Workstyle report and personalized coaching to reflect their unique traits.
Behind the scenes, Happy’s platform captures a wide range of individual behaviors and preferences. This personalization happens automatically, allowing you to unlock deeper insights and foster more meaningful interactions within your team—without any extra effort. By recognizing and respecting these distinctions, leaders can build stronger communication, collaboration, and overall team dynamics.
In Your Own Words
Even further, Happy understands that no one likes to be put in a box, and your Workstyle is more than just a label. That’s why, with Happy, you’re given the flexibility to personalize how your Workstyle is described.
While your Happy Workstyle provides insight into your natural tendencies, such as how you approach tasks and communicate, in certain sections Happy allows users to choose the words that best reflect how they want to be represented.
For example, a Driver might prefer to be seen as assertive rather than aggressive, giving you the power to tailor your profile in a way that feels authentic to you.
By offering customization, Happy ensures your Workstyle reflects who you are—not just a label, but a dynamic and accurate representation of your unique strengths.
