Businesses use behavioral profiling to gain a greater level of certainty in their recruitment and development
programmers, and to gain insight into their people management styles and staff retention initiatives. The information collected on you is collated into what
becomes known as your ‘personality profile’.
How is Profiling done?
Your personality profile is attained by what is known as a self-report personality
questionnaire. A self-report questionnaire is a ‘test’ that asks you through questions
(reading the question doesn’t reveal what it measures) about aspects of your own
personality and behavior which are relevant to the
workplace. They help pinpoint if the employee is a good match with the
businesses culture and values. Besides, we have different personality types.
For example, your response to a question about how you behave in a party can
indicate about your teamwork ability. A personality test has no right or wrong
answer and is not timed.
These types of assessment give questions that provide indicators
such as:
What motivates them?How do they interact with their colleagues?
What is their value to the organization?What is their preferred communication
style?What are their strengths and limitations?
How do they behave under pressure?
Are they showing any frustrations in the workplace?
What management style will get the best out of them?
Your responses to questions in the personality test allow potential employers
to make predictions about how you will respond across a range of vastly different work-related activities. These predictions assist employers to measure how suitable
you are for a role.
There are debates about whether you can prepare for a profiling test, however the best option is to answer the questions as
honestly as possible without modifying your preferred behavior to adapt to the
prospective job.
