Where Did Inscape Publishing Come From?

Inscape Publishing was formerly Carlson Learning Company, a division of Minneapolis-based Carlson Companies. Carlson Learning was created in 1984, after Carlson Companies purchased Performax Systems International. It was at that time the Carlson made the decision to develop a user-friendly self-scoring and self-interpreting DiSC^® assessment for the commercial marketplace.

Carlson Learning made important revision of the DiSC instrument in 1994, updating it with new language, research, and validation. This resulted in a 28 question DiSC survey rather than the 24 question model still used by other companies offering the older 24 question format. In 2000, Carlson Learning Company was acquired by the Riverside Company, the number one performing middle market private equity fund in the United States. With the support of Riverside Inscape Publishing has had the resources to advanced their leadership role in instrument-based learning and to continue to grow as the leading publisher and developer of DiSC and DiSC based products.
