DISC is definitely helpful as it's more situational than MB. However, it's not just the data that comes from the test that's important, it's know how to make up your team, keep things in balance, know where you have gaps you need to fill and what type of person you need to fill them. But a profile test is only one piece of the entire puzzle. Combine it with a portfolio review, some design/intellect exercises and references and I think you've got a good approach. Cheers!
