Team Development or Personal Development
Both are official Five Behaviours profiles built on Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results. The deciding question is simple: are you assessing one intact team together, or individuals who don't all work on the same team?
Choose Team Development if the participants form an intact team that works towards shared goals and you want to understand how they work together as a team.
Choose Personal Development if participants come from different teams, form a learning cohort or want to apply the five behaviours across different working relationships.
Decision guide
Find the situation closest to yours. What matters is how the participants work together – not how many profiles you need or who is placing the order.
You and your team already work together towards shared goals – a leadership team, a management team or any team with shared responsibility for results – and you want to build greater trust, alignment and collective effectiveness.
Recommended: Team Development
It gives each person individual insight and adds a shared, team-level view of trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results.
You’re arranging profiles for a team you don’t belong to – for example a leadership team or a project team whose members work together day to day.
Recommended: Team Development
The choice depends on how the participants work together, not on who places the order. If they’re one intact team, they get the team-level results. Buying for several teams? Order each team separately.
You’re buying for people from different teams, functions or locations – a leadership programme, a high-potential group or an onboarding cohort.
Recommended: Personal Development
They don’t share one team, so a combined team diagnosis wouldn’t describe anything real. Three or more unrelated people don’t become a Team Development group because of the number of profiles.
You want to develop your own teamwork – or one or two colleagues’ – across the different teams and working relationships you’re part of.
Recommended: Personal Development
It focuses on the individual’s teamwork skills, and the insight stays useful wherever they work next.
Some situations need a quick conversation – for example a team that's about to change shape, new members joining a team that has already been assessed, or a programme that mixes intact teams with individuals. Our minimum order for new Team Development orders is a purchase rule, not a judgement about every future situation, so ask us before ordering and we'll suggest the right route.

Whether you've been searching for a Five Behaviours assessment or know The Five Behaviours by name, the two profiles use the same underlying model – Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results – but they're built for different situations. Here are the exact differences.
| Feature | Team Development | Personal Development |
|---|---|---|
| Participant relationship | Members of one intact team who already work together towards shared goals | Individuals – may come from different teams, functions or organisations |
| Team-level results | Yes – combined team-level results alongside each person's individual insight | No – personalised individual insight only; there's no combined team diagnosis |
| DiSC® | Shows each participant their own DiSC® style and the styles of others in the team, and how the styles affect the team | Feedback is personalised using the Everything DiSC® assessment, but participants aren't taught the DiSC model or told their style |
| Report | Personalised profile, the team's results across the five behaviours, and discussion and action-planning content | Personalised profile applying Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results to the individual's own working relationships |
| Comparison Reports | Available for any two people who have a Five Behaviours Team Development or Personal Development profile – no Everything DiSC® assessment is needed. Ask us if you'd like one. | |
| Portability | Individual insight goes with the person; the team-level results describe that team at that time | Focused on the individual, so the insight stays relevant wherever they work next |
| Group size | Wiley recommends intact teams of around 5–12 people who have worked together for at least six weeks | Flexible – one person, or a cohort of any size |
| Minimum order | 3 profiles | 1 profile |
| Price per person | £135 + VAT (£162.00 inc VAT) | £99 + VAT (£118.80 inc VAT) |
| Typical use | Any intact team – leadership teams, management teams, or any team with shared goals and responsibility for results | Individual development, mixed cohorts, onboarding, or people who aren't all on one team |
| Facilitation | Optional – profiles can be bought without it | Optional – profiles can be bought without it |

Both profiles apply the teamwork model from Patrick Lencioni's bestselling book, turning its five dysfunctions into five behaviours a team or an individual can work on. See how the book connects to these profiles.
Both profiles are available to order online, with no facilitation required.

Minimum 1 profileNew Team Development orders start at 3 profiles – that’s our minimum order, because the team-level results are built from several members’ answers. It isn’t Wiley’s team-size guidance: Wiley recommends Team Development for intact teams of around 5–12 people. If you’re buying for one or two people as individuals, Personal Development (minimum 1) is the better fit. Adding a new member to a team that has already been assessed is a different situation – ask us before ordering.
Not automatically. Team Development is for people who work together as one intact team with shared goals. Three or more people from different teams don’t become a team because of the number of profiles – their combined results wouldn’t describe a real team. For a mixed group, choose Personal Development.
Both are built on the same five behaviours – Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results – and both personalise the feedback using the Everything DiSC® model. They present it differently. Team Development shows each participant their own DiSC® style and the styles of others in the team. Personal Development uses DiSC-derived personalisation behind the scenes, but doesn’t teach the DiSC model or tell participants their style.
Yes. A Five Behaviours Comparison Report looks at how two people can work together more effectively. It can be created for any two people who have a Five Behaviours Team Development or Personal Development profile – you don’t need an Everything DiSC® assessment. Ask us if you’d like one.
No. Both profiles can be bought and used without facilitation. If you’d like help turning the results into a productive team conversation, facilitated sessions are available separately.
They’re priced and checked out separately, so if you need both – for example Team Development for a leadership team and Personal Development for individuals elsewhere in the organisation – place one order for each. If you’re unsure how to split your numbers, email us before you buy.
Contact us before you register any participants. As long as assessment access hasn’t been issued, we can usually switch your order to the other profile and adjust the price. See our refund policy for the details.
Yes – both are free to view, with no form to fill in: the Team Development sample report and the Personal Development sample report .
If your situation doesn't fit neatly into the decision guide – for example a team that's about to change shape, or a mix of intact teams and individuals – just ask us before you order. We'll help you pick the right profile and quantity.
If you purchase the wrong profile and the assessment links have not yet been issued, we will change your order and adjust the price.
