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.

<p>The Criterion Personality Questionnaire is unlike anything else on the market. We don’t subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to personality; the CPQ offers unparalleled flexibility by allowing you to pick and choose the elements you want to measure.</p> <p>The CPQ is made up of 46 scales split across five key areas of personality at work. These elements are:</p> <p><strong>Interpersonal Style</strong> – The candidate’s approach to working with others, taps into their style of communication and preferences for working around others</p> <p><strong>Thinking Style </strong>– The candidate’s approach to tasks, decisions and challenges</p> <p><strong>Emotional Style </strong>– The candidate’s reaction to the emotional demands of the role</p> <p><strong>Motivations </strong>– Understanding what drives the candidate and helps them to feel energised and motivated at work</p> <p><strong>Culture Fit </strong>– Understanding the style of environment that is best suited to the candidate</p> <p>We provide the following 3 options for you to choose from: </p> <p><strong>1. OFF-THE-SHELF OPTION</strong></p> <p>Psycruit offers two off-the-shelf personality questionnaires, both of which include a range of scales from across the five elements.</p> <p>The Criterion Core (21 Scales) – Comprehensive insight into the typical preferences and tendencies for behaviours, feelings, values and motivations that are important in the workplace. This questionnaire takes about 20 minutes for the candidate to complete. Using the Core questionnaire will give you access to two specialised reports; Team Strengths Report & Sales Report.</p> <p>The Criterion Enhanced (30 Scales) – Builds on the Criterion Core, offering a deeper insight across a breadth of elements of personality in an occupational setting. This questionnaire will take about 30 minutes for candidates to complete. Using it will give you access to our Leadership Report.</p> <p><strong>2. BESPOKE OPTION</strong></p> <p>Psycruit allows you to build your own personality questionnaire so you can tap directly into the traits you are interested in for the role you are recruiting for or developing. You can pick any combination of the 46 scales in the Library and structure the selection according to your own values/competency framework or use our default headings. Telling the platform ‘what good looks like’ will give you access to the Selection Report.</p> <p><strong>3.INDUSTRY SPECIFIC</strong></p> <p>We now have a collection of industry specific questionnaires that are available on Psycruit. These have been developed through role research and the expert knowledge and experience of our business psychologists.

<p>This test provides your candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate the style and approach they prefer to take towards challenges at work. The picture they provide will help us understand how they see themselves in relation to working in a leadership role.</p> <p>They will be presented with a sequence of scenarios describing a situation or challenge. They will also see a selection of possible approaches that they could take to respond to the situation or challenge described in the scenario.</p> <p>For each scenario, they will be expected to tick the most effective or least effective approach they would take in each fictitious scenario.   </p> <h4><strong>Provides a realistic job preview</strong></h4> <p>Map competencies to your organisational framework providing candidates with a more realistic job preview compared to relying on interviews alone.</p> <h4><strong>Eliminates hiring bias</strong></h4> <p>Measure how well candidates respond to a host of work related scenarios, allowing you to find the most competent candidates for the role.</p> <h4><strong>Saves time & hiring resources</strong></h4> <p>Allows candidates to self select out if they realise the job isn’t a good fit for them - saving you valuable time and resources.</p> <p><strong>When used alongside other psychometrics, such as personality questionnaires or cognitive ability tests, employers are able to build up a holistic picture of how the individual would behave in the role.</strong></p> <p><em>Are you looking to develop bespoke situational judgements tets or looking to host your own test on our platform? </em></p> <p>We are Business Psychologists with over 25 years of experience in developing tests.
