Kids DISC was designed for kids, parents, teachers, and more

The Kids DISC assessment gives a deeper understanding of a child and their behavior. Created especially for kids, using
language that they understand, the Kids DISC report offers significant insights based on the assessment. With three distinct
sections for kids, parents, and teachers, this report contains helpful information for the children and the adults in their lives.

A fun way for kids to understand themselves—and others

The Kids DISC assessment helps children aged 8-12 understand their unique behavioral styles in a fun and memorable way! Using an
animated spin on the DISC model, kids, and the adults around them, will discover how special and unique they are. It uses four styles of
birds to represent DISC Theory and capture each child's unique behavior:

Based on the DISC model, the report explains each child's behavioral style and why it makes them special. It also helps them
understand people's differences. Having a better understanding of their own and others' strengths and areas for development, kids can
more effectively navigate challenges, create stronger relationships, and improve communication skills.
This DISC model assessment is backed by thorough research and validation to ensure accurate results.

The Four Bird Styles

Why does Assessments 24x7 use birds to represent the DISC model? These colorful images make each style easy to understand and fun
to remember. Kids connect with what they represent, making it an invaluable learning experience.

The Eagle
Motto: I got this!

When you picture an Eagle, what do you see? Eagles are powerful birds who fly high in the sky above the forests, lakes, and rivers. They are at the top of the food chain! If they see something they want... WHOOSH! They dive down and get it.

Kids with the Eagle style are confident, determined, and competitive. They say what they think and do what they want. They take charge and take action. They make quick decisions and aren’t afraid of risks. They love to win and hate to lose.

The Parrot
Motto: We can do it!

Imagine a Parrot in the canopy of the jungle with all their bird friends. Can you hear the noisy Parrot cawing out loud? Do you see the bright, colorful feathers that attract everyone’s attention? Can you picture all the fun that Parrot has flapping around with other birds?

Kids with the Parrot style are enthusiastic, smiley, and social. They love to talk, laugh, and joke around with friends. They try new things and come up with wild ideas. To be a Parrot is to be the life of the party—and a bit of a mischief maker!

The Dove
Motto: Let's help each other!

Picture a white Dove on a shady, quiet tree branch. The Dove coos softly and kindly with a few other birds. The Dove would never hurt anyone. The Dove is there to support other birds and keep them out of trouble.

Kids with the Dove style are thoughtful, helpful, and caring. They love to do nice things for others. They think about how others feel and always try to serve their needs. Doves have big hearts and share their love freely.

The Owl
Motto: Be smart about it!

Picture an Owl perched in a nest with wide-open eyes. The Owl notices every little detail of the forest—every color, every animal, every gust of wind. The forest is fascinating and fills the Owl with curiosity and questions. The Owl wants to know everything.

Kids with the Owl style are precise, analytical, and careful. They have a reason for everything they do and say. They are organized and consistent. They like to plan ahead and learn everything they can before making decisions.

Benefits of the Kids DISC assessment

Understanding behavioral types with the Kids DISC assessment offers many benefits for students in the classroom,
including improved productivity and teamwork skills. Below are some additional advantages

1. Self-Awareness
The Kids DISC assessment helps students understand their own strengths, preferences, and communication styles. Like their avian counterparts, this self-awareness allows them to use their strengths effectively and spot areas for growth. It encourages them to reflect on their behaviors and adjust their approach when working in teams, leading to interpersonal development and increased self-confidence.

2. Improving Communication
Communication becomes easier when kids understand their own and their peers' behavioral traits. They can adjust their styles to improve collaboration and work more effectively with their peers. For example, a Dove may focus on harmony, while an Eagle may communicate in a clear and concise way. This leads to better teamwork and fewer misunderstandings in the classroom.

3. Fostering Positive Relationships
Children can appreciate different and complementary perspectives when they understand their own and their peers' behavioral types. They see that everyone has unique strengths and approaches. This empathy fosters respect and collaboration in the classroom.

4. Supporting Academic and Social Development
Understanding behavioral types helps kids achieve academic success. The Kids DISC assessment offers insights into their learning styles and teachers can use this information to tailor learning experiences. This teaching framework helps students more easily grasp concepts tailored to their learning styles, and encourages active participation in class. Students can leverage their strengths more effectively, which often leads to improved grades and greater school satisfaction.

5. Building Confidence and Resilience
Understanding different personalities helps kids build confidence. When they gain clarity regarding their strengths, they feel more self-assured and realize it's okay to be themselves. This confidence makes them more resilient, they handle challenges better and have a tendency to bounce back quicker from setbacks.

Why birds instead of letters

Merrick Rosenberg, CEO of Take Flight Learning, linked the four DISC profile styles to birds in his books Taking Flight! and The
"Chameleon. Eagles represent the Dominant (D) style, Parrots the Interactive (I) style, Doves the Supportive (S) style, and Owls
the Conscientious (C) style. This approach provides a more memorable way to learn the different behavioral types.
Since 65% of people learn visually, using birds makes the styles more vivid. People, particularly visual learners, need to
remember the styles effectively to use them, and the birds make this easier than memorizing letters.

For example, an Eagle's confident and assertive nature is easily associated with the Dominant style. The bird symbols are
intuitive, making it simple for people to instantly connect the birds with what they represent.

Strong foundations help support
a bright future

Birds represent the behavioral styles of Kids DISC, and just like our internationally recognized DISC self-assessment, no single Bird (DISC Style) is the “right” one to
be. All the Birds have strengths and challenges. However, one thing is certain: They
help make up who we are, enabling each of us to lead happy and productive lives.
