Four scales, measured by 28 items in all. Each scale runs from a low score to a high one — neither end is better.

- Direct, decisive and results-driven; enjoys challenge and control
- 02
Influence

- Enthusiastic, sociable and persuasive; motivates and energises people
- 03
Steadiness
- Fast-paced and comfortable with frequent change
- Patient, calm and dependable; values stability, support and teamwork
- 04
Conscientiousness
- Flexible about rules; prefers speed over precision
- Precise, analytical and systematic; values accuracy and quality
A self-report inventory for self-awareness and development: there are no right or wrong answers, results describe preferences rather than ability, and it is not a clinical or diagnostic assessment.

Is DISC a personality test for hiring?
DISC describes style, not ability or performance, so it shouldn't be used alone to select candidates. It is most useful for team communication, coaching, sales and leadership development. Commercial versions such as Everything DiSC® are trademarks of their owners.
Can I take the DISC Personality Test from any country?
Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.
How long is the DISC Personality Test?
28 items, untimed — most people finish in about 6 minutes. Answer with your first instinct; there is no pass mark.
Can I fail the DISC Personality Test?
No. It is a self-report inventory, not an exam: every honest answer is valid, and your result describes your preferences rather than your ability. Answer as you usually are, not as you think you should be.
How much do Science of Apps certifications cost?
Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.
How are the tests graded?
On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.
What happens if I don't pass?
You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.
Do the certificates expire?
No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.
Can I add the certificate to LinkedIn?
Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.
How can an employer verify my certificate?
Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.
Are these accredited qualifications?
No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
