What is Disc: Definition and 396 Discussions

DISC is a behaviour self-assessment tool originally based on the 1928 DISC emotional and behavioural theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston, which centred on four personality traits: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. This theory was then developed into a behavioural assessment tool by industrial psychologist Walter Vernon Clarke. Personality expert and researcher, Merrick Rosenberg, notably innovated on the contemporary application of the DISC model as it applies to team development, interpersonal relationships, and American presidential campaigns. DISC has not been scientifically evaluated.

    Magnetic plate eddy current braking effect on a copper disc

    Hi, I've seen many videos of neodymium magnets sliding slowly down an inclined copper plate, or slowly down a copper tube - due to eddy current braking,but never the other way around. My question is; will a copper disc sliding down an inclined magnetic plate, or down a magnetic tube act in the...

    Is Calculating Moment of Inertia for a Disc with (x+dx)^2 Valid?

    In the picture the question marked spot is confusing me. Should the MI be calculated in this ugly way? That we do not consider the points in between and on dx!
