🎡 21 Questions (About You): What the Maxwell DISC Assessment Can Reveal

Inspired by 50 Cent. Backed by behavioural science.

We all remember 50 Cent's iconic track asking 21 Questions about love.
🎧 You can watch it the music video here.

But here's the real truth:

If you want to grow in your relationships β€” with your team, your partner, or even yourself β€” you've got to start asking the right questions.

Questions about how you lead. Communicate. Respond. Recharge. Love.

And that's exactly where the Maxwell DISC Personality Assessment comes in. It helps you answer the deeper questions that shape every relationship in your life.

So today, I’m flipping 50's song into a reflective tool. Here are 21 questions to help you understand yourself (and others) better β€” the same types of insights you'll unlock through the DISC profile.

Each question doesn’t just give you insight. It gives you power β€” to break patterns, build confidence, and move forward with self-awareness.

21 Questions for Real Connection & Growth

  1. Do I speak up quickly, or do I prefer to process first?
    β†’ How you speak affects how you're heard. Are you often misunderstood or overlooked?

  2. Am I more focused on getting results or maintaining harmony?
    β†’ This impacts how you lead and resolve tension. Do people see you as a driver or a peacekeeper?

  3. What motivates me the most: winning, being liked, being safe, or being right?
    β†’ Motivation drives your behaviour β€” in leadership, conflict, and even love.

  4. How do I handle criticism?
    β†’ Your response to feedback determines your capacity to grow and lead.

  5. How do I show appreciation?
    β†’ If others don't recognise your style of affirmation, your relationships can feel disconnected.

  6. Do I prefer fast-paced environments or steady, predictable routines?
    β†’ Understanding this helps you align with the right roles and responsibilities.

  7. What stresses me out more: conflict, change, pressure, or ambiguity?
    β†’ Pinpointing your stress triggers can help you build resilience and communicate your needs.

  8. How do I make decisions: quickly, collaboratively, cautiously, or independently?
    β†’ This impacts how others perceive your confidence and credibility.

  9. Do I thrive more in team environments or solo tasks?
    β†’ Knowing this helps you advocate for the work style that makes you shine.

  10. What does respect look like to me?
    β†’ Misaligned expectations around respect often cause silent tension in relationships.

  11. How do I naturally lead?
    β†’ Your leadership style is the lens through which others experience your influence.

  12. How do I want to be led?
    β†’ Clarity here improves workplace dynamics, mentorship, and personal development.

  13. How do I deal with confrontation?
    β†’ This question uncovers emotional maturity and the ability to hold space for others.

  14. What does burnout look like in me?
    β†’ Recognising your early warning signs is essential for sustainable success.

  15. When I’m under pressure, do I speed up, shut down, or take control?
    β†’ Pressure reveals patterns β€” which are often invisible until they cost us.

  16. What kind of feedback helps me grow?
    β†’ Your growth accelerates when feedback aligns with your wiring.

  17. How do I express love or loyalty?
    β†’ This creates relational fluency β€” knowing how to be present for the people you care about.

  18. What drains me β€” too much structure or too much chaos?
    β†’ Identifying your energy leaks allows you to make better decisions about commitments.

  19. What do I need most to feel safe in a relationship or team?
    β†’ Safety isn't just a feeling β€” it's a leadership strategy.

  20. What makes me feel seen?
    β†’ This question uncovers unmet needs and helps you communicate them better.

  21. What am I like on my best day?
    β†’ This reminds you who you are at your core β€” not who you become when life gets loud.

The DISC Assessment helps you answer these β€” not just for yourself, but also for the people you love and lead.
