Five-Factor Model of Personality and 7MTF vs. DISC 

According to Wikipedia, DISC was developed from a book psychologist William Marston wrote in 1928 called Emotions of Normal People. Marston theorized that all people could be classified by two factors.

First, does the person view his environment as favorable or unfavorable (optimist/pessimist)?

The second is if a person sees himself as being able to control his environment or not? Since this second factor is situational, someone’s DISC profile might change. For example, parents might view themselves as having a lot of control at home and little or no control at work.

In contrast, 7MTF looks at core factors of temperament and core motivations, which are situationally stable.

7MTF is based on the Five Factor Model (FFM), which is the most widely validated and respected model of human temperament. It was developed in the 1990s, superseding older models like Myer-Briggs and 16PF.

In addition to the FFM, 7MTF adds two factors that are not as common in the general population but very common in business executives. These factors are competitiveness and the factor that drives entrepreneurship.

7MTF Personality Training for Managers

Surveys of experienced business managers continuously rank people skills as the most important component of the successful manager. To build people skills, managers need an effective way to understand what makes their direct reports behave as they do.

Within every group of employees, there are some who are more difficult to manage than others. Some are more responsive to peer pressure, some need to be left alone, and others respond best to authoritarian pressure. The 7MTF assessment helps managers understand what motivates each direct report along with how to provide personalized coaching.
