DiSC®, a valid and reliable learning instrument, is used to delineate how a person tends to behave or is expected to behave in various situations. DiSC® is self-administered and can be accessed on the Internet at www.carlsonlearning.com/PPSSonline. A DiSC® Profile Report will provide candidates and employers:

A graphed comparison of a candidate’s natural behavior v. a group’s expected behavior. (Figure 1)

A detailed narrative description comparing a candidate’s natural behavior v. a group’s expected behavior. (Figure 2)

A graphic display comparing the intensity of a candidate’s behavioral tendencies compared to behaviors expected by an employer. (Figure 3)

Data Fields for a Uniform Preference Comparator (UPC)

Robert DuPont proposes that physician recruitment webmasters create a uniform and comparable set of data fields that cover candidate and employer preferences. These data fields can be juxtaposed, compared, and contrasted, resulting in meaningful information that can be used for informed decision-making. The data fields can be grouped into four areas: 1) practice opportunity , 2) compensation, 3) contract terms and 4) compatibility.
