Pettibon Vice‐President, Personality Insights, Inc. Co‐Founder, [DiscoveryReport.com](DiscoveryReport.com)  \nPage 1  \nCopyright 2017 Personality Insights, Inc. version 1.6  \n Why DISC is Easier to Remember Than MBTI ®   \nQuestions about DISC and MBTI  \nAs the Co‐Founder of [DiscoveyReport.com](DiscoveyReport.com) and a technical developer of DISC profiles, I run into many questions about the DISC Model of Human behavior versus the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) on a regular basis. Here are the two essential questions I am most often asked:  \n􀁸 Which personality model is better?  \n􀁸 How is DISC different than MBTI?  \nLet me say that the answer as to which model is better is up to you. It depends on your application and your preference. Both models are widely used, but they are very different in the way that they are constructed. Both models have their fans and their skeptics. Regarding how they are basically different, you can view an article that I wrote by clicking on the following link (not detailed, but an overview):  \n[http://www.discoveryreport.com/DISC‐and‐MBTI‐Myers‐Briggs‐Type‐Indicator.html](http://www.discoveryreport.com/DISC‐and‐MBTI‐Myers‐Briggs‐Type‐Indicator.html)  \nIn our experience working with Personality Insights, Inc. consultants who have been trained in the DISC Model of Human Behavior, we find that they genuinely want to know the main reason to use or recommend DISC vs. MBTI. Our most common answer is that DISC is easier to remember and apply. But there is more to it than that – a lot more.  \nWhen speaking with someone about MBTI, I will often ask the person,“How did you come out in the MBTI assessment?” The most common answer is,“I can’t remember.” Granted, some have been able to tell me in wonderful detail how they came out. That is great. But, the fact remains, that most forget or at least struggle to reconstruct part, if not most, of the answer.  \nI am convinced that the major issue for MBTI is that it is just too difficult to remember.  \nIf you have spent much time comparing the two personality models, it appears the reasons MBTI is harder to recall than DISC are fairly intuitive. The more you work with people using both models, the more the differences in the two models emerge. MBTI is widely used and well established and appears, at first glance, tobe a more sophisticated model. But, the question of which model to use is worth considering further.  \nI am an electrical engineer by training and background. Therefore, a more substantial answer would be of interest to me if I were asking the question. By the way, I am also happily married to someone with an opposite personality style compared to mine and we have 11 children with a wide variety of personality styles. The topic of personality styles is not theoretical for me – it is a survival skill! But, back to the article!  \nI am going to propose an answer that is intended to be both practical and helpful but not exhaustive by any means. I am not a psychometric statistician, a psychiatrist, a psychologist or an expert in neuroscience. But, my assertion does require basic math and I have had lots of advanced math training as an engineer. And, while I have a lot of “C traits”(cautious, calculating, critical thinking and careful ‐ based on being reserved and task‐ oriented in the DISC model), I am going to keep things simple and to the point.  \nPage 2  \nCopyright 2017 Personality Insights, Inc. version 1.6  \n Why DISC is Easier to Remember Than MBTI ®   \nThe Main Proposition:  \nMBTI is hard to remember compared to DISC for 3 main reasons:  \n1. Research shows that DISC is within the working memory limit of ability to recall a sequence of letters for the vast majority of people whereas MBTI is not. The working memory capacity of most people for recalling a sequence of letters is 6.
