DISC to MBTI

My friend Holden (CombineSoldier14) REALLY helped with this–Check out his blog post here!

DISC and MBTI are quite similar, and trying to solve the same problem:
Putting all 8 billion people’s personalities in something we can share. MBTI does this via 4-letter codes,
but DISC takes a different approach… Here is how it works:

How does DISC work?

DISC uses numerical values for all four letters:

• D stands for Dominance
• I stands for Influencing
• S stands for Steadiness
• C stands for Compliance

DISC works similarly to MBTI, with people not giving their actual numbers, rather, we say “High D”, “Low S”,
etc. For the record, “High” means anything over 60, “Low” means anything under 40, and “Medium” means anything
over 40 but under 60.

How does MBTI work?

MBTI uses two possible values for each letter in your MBTI type. It works like this:

• Index 1: I/E
  • I stands for Introverted
  • E stands for Extraverted
• Index 2: S/N
  • S stands for Sensing (Although 16personalities.com calls it Observant)
  • N stands for Intuitive
• Index 3: T/F
  • T stands for Thinking
  • F stands for Feeling
• Index 4: P/J
  • P stands for Prospecting
  • J stands for Judging

Slap all of those together and you get your MBTI type. For example, mine is ENTP
because of the traits Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Prospecting.

Note: That’s a VERY high-level description of MBTI – Check this article for more information!

How can we convert them?

MBTI and DISC share lots of key similarities, yes, but they also share many differences that must be smoothed
out when converting.

Let’s get converting!

Introverted or Extraverted

This one is very easy. Being Introverted (I), or Extraverted (E), can be determined using your Influencing score.
This connection is put in your Indigo Report, so this is undeniable.

• Low I = Introverted
• High I = Extraverted

Intuitive or Sensing

This can be determined based on your Compliance score. This is difficult, but it’s said that High C’s are very observant,
and quite analytical.

• Low C = Intuitive
• High C = Sensing

Thinking or Feeling

This can be debatable, but we think that High D is Thinking, and low D is feeling. This can sound a bit far-fetched so
hear me out– Low D people tend to be more empathetic and emotion. This makes High D people Thinkers.

• Low D = Feeling
• High D = Thinking

There ya go! We now have a system to convert MBTI to DISC! I will also include a converter that can be found here!
Have fun and start converting!
