This assessment is a personality questionnaire. Using a personality questionnaire like this enables employers to understand how individuals work with and lead others, how they approach tasks and projects, and how driven or emotionally resilient they are. Results from such assessments are largely stable over time and are therefore a really powerful tool for both the applicant and the employer. They ensure that the employer finds the person who will perform best in, and be most suited to a job role, but they also ensure that applicants are offered the positions to which they are best suited and therefore, the roles they are more likely to be happiest in. As there are no right or wrong answers in personality questionnaires, applicants are simply advised to answer as honestly as they can. It is not advisable to try and outwit personality questionnaires as this is likely to be detected.
