Where do personality types come from for the PeopleKeys DISC assessment?

The PeopleKeys DISC assessment is based on theories of human behavior that were originally presented in the book, "Emotions of Normal People" which was published in 1928 by Dr. William Marston. Dr. Marston believed that by understanding how our "normal" emotional responses adapt to the demands of of people, situations and societal expectation, we could evolve into better- integrated people who were more independent and able to realize true happiness in our work lives and personal lives. What Dr. Marston characterized as emotional responses or "primary emotions" are known today as Decisive (D), Interactive (I), Stabilizing (S) and Cautious (C).
