8 Extended DISC – INFORMATION YOU NEED © Copyright Extended DISC International Human Capacity Cultural Heritage: Represents all that we have adopted during our lives (our inner selves) – cultural norms, values, ethics and morals. It is personal to each individual, we cannot transfer it to anyone else Unconscious Behaviour: The way we naturally respond to a stimulus. Differentiates people with the same cultural background. The behaviour we use naturally, requires the least energy and when we have least control of ourselves e.g. under pressure or when an immediate response is required

9 Extended DISC – INFORMATION YOU NEED © Copyright Extended DISC International Human Capacity Behavioural Filters: These are personal to every individual and can be influenced and changed quickly if we desire. They restrict or widen our options for responding, behaving and communicating. If a negative connotation, the filter most likely directs our behaviour towards a more negative and critical direction. If a positive connotation, the filter makes us more flexible and effective. Conscious Behaviour: Learned behaviours that connect us to the situation and the people involved. This is the behaviour we exhibit when we have time to design the best possible approach and when external or internal pressures don’t prevent us from doing that. It is a combination of the requirements of the environment and our inner behavioural motivation.
