Designed for Business Use
X DiSC
Although businesses are using DiSC more often, DiSC is not approved for any part of the pre-hiring process. Behavioral assessments that are not tested for bias and discrimination can lead businesses into legal trouble. Plus, DiSC cannot be used to predict future job performance, so is better used for personal growth and awareness rather than an organized people management system.
✓ PDP Global
PDP assessments are EEOC and ADA compliant, following standards set by the American Psychological Association and Society for Industrial and Organization Psychology. ProScan has specifically been tested and found free of bias against protected classes like race, gender, and age. Our studies also show that ProScan has predictive validity, meaning that business can reliably tie its results to job performance KPIs.
Expertly Managed In-House
X DiSC
DiSC doesn’t require individuals to complete any training or certification before reading their results or administering assessments. Without verifying that someone knows how to properly implement a behavioral assessment, your business is at risk of introducing discrimination into its processes and misunderstanding the meaning behind results.
✓ PDP Global
All administrators of the PDP suite of assessments must complete an online or in-person certification course beforehand. That way, people within your organization know how to practically apply and leverage PDP insights for immediate success in communication, leadership, and employee development. We give your business the structure it needs to manage PDP in-house without straining your internal resources.
Transparent and Comprehensive
X DiSC
An individual needs to purchase the Everything DiSC Manual in order to dig into the research studies that support DiSC.

Also, an organization must purchase six different reports for insights about management, conflict, and leadership as opposed to everything combined into one report.
