When a company or coach engages with the DISC Personalities model, they often come across the DISC Epic Account ID and wonder what it is.
An EPIC Account is used by Wiley (a DISC provider) to give their users better access and control to administering the DISC Personalities assessment. The EPIC Account is similar to the DISC Administrator Portal access on the Professional Leadership Institute site.
There are various brands that use the DISC model based on the psychologist William Moulton Marston’s research. The different types of DISC models and training companies come down to trademarks and branding and largely teach the same things based on the foundation of the research.
Each company and brand that offers DISC training programs have their own version of implementation. The Epic Account ID is used to login to the brand at discprofile.com and was established by Wiley.
