This assessment is effective if used early in the hiring process to determine if the candidate “fit’s your organizational culture. Here is what the assessment measures:

Responsibility measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be dependable, stable, takes responsibility for his/her actions and as a result, is not likely to have attendance problems. This characteristic is appropriate for all jobs.

Flexibility measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be able to adapt to change and is more open minded than stubborn. This characteristic is important for fast paced jobs where priorities often shift. It is also important for organizations that are in transition or are expecting changes that will affect work duties and responsibilities.

Self Confidence measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be self-assured, is not overly affected by what others think of him/her, and is confident in his/her decisions and actions. This characteristic is important for jobs that require independent thought, a self-starter attitude, sales and management.

Trustworthiness measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be honest and trusting of others. This characteristic is important for most, if not all jobs with special emphasis on cash handling jobs and jobs involving confidential or sensitive information.

Energy measures the degree to which an individual is likely to demonstrate energy, passion and vitality throughout the workday. This characteristic is important for most fast paced jobs and jobs involving multi-tasking.

Extraversion measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be outgoing, sociable and assertive in his/her interactions. This characteristic is important for jobs requiring strong, outgoing personalities and strong social skills (e.g., sales, marketing and some management jobs).

Customer Focus measures the degree to which the individual puts the customer’s needs ahead of his/her own needs. The degree to which he/she is customer service-oriented and enjoys interacting with customers.

Listening Skills measures the degree to which the individual is open to learning new experiences. The degree to which he/she listens to the needs of others and uses listening skills to guide sales strategies.

Candidness measures the degree to which the individual is likely to be candid and accurate in his/her responses and is therefore not trying to outsmart the test in an effort to present him/herself in a more favorable light. The results of this scale should be used as a “red flag” to make you aware that some candidates may be trying to “fake” the test. For example, if a candidate scores High on the behavioral scales in this assessment and he/she scores Low on Candidness, there is the chance that he was able to elevate his/her scores on the assessment by trying to make him/herself look good. High behavioral scale scores that are accompanied by Low Candidness scores warrants some additional follow-up during the interview or reference checks to confirm the candidate’s behavioral scale scores are in line with his/her previous work history.
