Why scientific foundations matter for personality profiles – and how DISC Kids fulfills them

In a world full of online tests, personality analyses, and supposedly psychological tools, it's more important than ever to rely on scientifically proven methods. Especially when it comes to children.

DISC Kids is based on one of the few DISC profiles to receive independent certification from the Assessment Standards Institute (ASI). This is a seal of quality that stands for transparency, fairness, and scientific rigor.

What does that mean specifically?

DISC Kids is based on an assessment validated according to the highest international standards for psychological testing. Independent review by the Assessment Standards Institute (ASI) confirms compliance with the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Objective fairness through Disparate Impact Analysis (DIA)

The so-called Disparate Impact Analysis examines whether certain groups of people are systematically disadvantaged, for example, based on gender, age, or origin. The result: DISC Kids meets the requirements for fairness and inclusion.

Measurement accuracy through Data Reliability Analysis (DRA)

This analysis demonstrates the reliability and repeatability of the results. It ensures that children's behavior is assessed reliably, regardless of their daily mood or environment.

Scientific precision: Cronbach's Alpha

A high Cronbach's alpha value indicates excellent internal consistency. This means that the various test items consistently measure the same underlying trait—a key quality criterion in psychological assessment.

What does this mean for families?

With DISC Kids, you don't get a superficial quick test, but a professional tool that is scientifically sound, understandable, and fair. This allows you as a parent to gain solid insights and help your child better understand themselves.
