About this Test
Use the Comprehensive Personality Hiring Test to determine suitability to the job by assessing helpfulness, dependability, assertiveness, creativity, competitiveness and leadership.

What It’s Best Used For
This pre-employment instrument is best utilized during the initial screening phase or internal promotion reviews to vet candidates from entry-level positions up through senior management roles.
- Measuring 7 Personality Dimensions: It builds a comprehensive psychological profile across seven critical workplace pillars: Service Orientation, Conscientiousness, Adjustment, Openness, Intellect, Extroversion, and Ambition.
- Evaluating Job Suitability: The test looks past technical skills to assess soft-skill behavioral triggers, including an individual’s natural helpfulness, dependability, assertiveness, creativity, and competitiveness.
- Built-In Deception Scale: It features a dedicated 5-question verification module that tracks social desirability bias, alerting hiring managers if an applicant is attempting to “fake” or exaggerate their answers.
- Flexible Corporate Deployment: To match your active recruiting workflow, it can be administered via online or paper formats, supporting immediate automated reporting or quick manual grading by hand.
It provides a reliable measure of seven personality dimensions. It consists of 131 questions with a strongly agree/strongly disagree answer format. 126 questions make up the 7 personality dimensions and 5 questions make up the Deception Scale. The Deception Scale helps to determine the degree to which the applicant is responding to the profile items in a socially desirable manner.
The questions that assess each trait were developed based on information gathered from interviews with human resources professionals and managers in different industries, and from an extensive review of the psychological literature on personality measurement. Each question was written specifically with the employment environment in mind, unlike most other “clinically based” personality assessment instruments. Assessments designed specifically for the employment setting are viewed by applicants as more job-relevant (face valid) than those developed for clinical assessment and therefore are less likely to be questioned in terms of their relevance to the position in question.
The right placement can mean the difference between an employee who succeeds and one who is frustrated.
