One of the most exciting things to come from Inscape Publishing is a new product platform called EPIC (Electronic Profile Information Center). EPIC provides a simple way to deliver a variety of profiles via the Internet. Here's how it works: from a PC, you'll have access to all of the online profiles. Someone can administer access codes that allow people to complete the assessments online. Once a respondent finishes answering the questions, the resulting report goes to the respondent, you or whoever is designated - you decide!
Products available on EPIC (Sample reports are available on pages of the specific profiles):
- Coping and Stress Profile: Learners gain important insights into how stress in one life area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one area can be used to decrease stress in another, and how stress, coping resources and overall life satisfaction are closely related.
- DiSC® Classic: With 30 years of proven reliability and over 40 million users, DiSCŪ Classic remains the most trusted learning instrument in the industry.
- DiSC Indra (only available online): An in-depth relationship assessment process that uses an expanded DiSC to help people understand and improve relationships at work.
- Discovering Diversity Profile®: A confidential, discovery tool that allows individuals to explore their own viewpoints on workforce diversity in four key areas: knowledge, understanding, acceptance and behavior.

- Work Expectations Profile®: Helps people identify their high expectations and then learn how to communicate those expectations, take initiative to get them met, and adjust them when necessary.
Use EPIC Credits For All Profiles
The EPIC platform uses "credits" to purchase the profiles/reports. Each credit is $3.10, and 10 credits are needed for most individual
reports. For Indra, an individual report is 15 credits, a dyad report is 8 credits, and a group report is 15 credits. A great benefit
of EPIC is that the credits are interchangeable among all the online EPIC products! There is a one-time fee of $150 to set up a corporate
EPIC Online Account.
