Our personality assessment is based on six major dimensions of personality i.e. HEXACO model. The factors that make up the HEXACo model: Honest-humility
Emotionality
eXtraversion
Agreeableness
Conscientiousness
Openness to Experience
We provide three different types of reports which can be used by interviewers. Please refer to the reports section for further information. We provide lots of support to help our clients use our tailored assessments, including full debrief sessions before interviews commence to answer any questions arising and to do a deeper dive into the candidates’ personality, ability, and derailment reports.  Note: The SOVA Cognitive ability tests (verbal, numerical, and logical) are timed tests although the time is not present on screen. Therefore, we ask candidates to work as accurately and as quickly as they can – remember, ability tests measure maximum performance.

Other theoretical frameworks include C.G. Jung (1971) Theory of Psychological Types; William Schutz (1958) Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation; Lee and Ashton(2004) HEXACO Model of Personality and J. Holland (1958) Occupational Themes (RIASEC)

The Big Five Profile is based on the Five Factor model, identifies an individual’s dominant personality traits. It does so by measuring five dimensions of personality, all of which have a major impact on behaviour.

Sales Profile-R identifies the potential, competencies, and motivations needed to succeed in sales. As well as being an indispensable tool for recruitment, Sales Profile-R can also be used for training, internal mobility, and sales force audits.

Results are matched with 25 sales roles representative of the needs in the area. Sales Profile-R can be used to identify sales potential in non-sales people (engineers, technicians, or others).

The SALES PROFILE-R can be combined with other personality questionnaires such as Central Test’s Professional Profile or the CTPI-R in order to acquire a more precise and comprehensive profile of the individual. For instance, combining the CTPI-R, which assesses work personality and managerial abilities, with the SALES PROFILE-R, can be useful in evaluating a person's potential as a Sales Director.

Also, when combined with other personality tests, the SALES PROFILE-R can corroborate personality dimensions that could indicate an aptitude for sales, such as a high score on the “Persuasiveness” or “Firmness” factors from the Professional Profile.
