THE TALENT REPORT

A Sample Personality Questionnaire Talent Report is available for download below. We will now take you through the sections within the report.

[Talent Report – Sam Sample]

The personality questionnaire talent report Profile is provided showing all the 36 Identity scales. Please note that personality scales use a 10-point scale. These are not linear scales but normalised scales. What that means is that much more people score in the middle of the scale than at the extremes i.e. very few people get 1’s and 10’s.

The 1 – 10 scale

This measures quantity of a personality trait so for example, the first scale is Social Presence.  1 means very little i.e. very reserved and introverted; whereas 10 means very much i.e. very outgoing and extraverted.

However, the scale by itself is not about good or bad. Meaning, we can only be judgemental when we are looking for the best fit to a role or job.  For example, if the job requires effective communication and to be able to quickly build positive relationships, then we may consider that a person who is not too low on Social Presence may be more suited to the role.

Appropriate Identity scales will support each of these competences. These competences are typically all highly relevant for all responsible roles/ jobs. The narrative provides insights about the person’s preferred behaviours. Following on from this we can provide useful discussion to identify potential strengths and weaknesses based on their preferences.

Development Areas

Note, that on-going development is NOT simply about identifying weaknesses and working on those.  With personality we have a range of options. For example, a strong behavioural preference may either be a good fit or a poor fit for a role. If it is a good fit we may choose to develop a strength – as that could yield greater rewards. If it is a poor fit it might be due to little interest and motivation for this area. Therefore, there will be other options to get around this e.g. to work with others who look after this area – rather than to see it as a development need.

Included within the report is the Profile showing all 36 Identity scales.

The report also benefits from providing other Psychological models.  This therefore provides comprehensive information on the person’s preferences.  Normally, it would require several questionnaires to be completed in order to gain so much useful information. However, with Identity we can provide all this rich information from just one questionnaire completion, which typically only takes around 35 minutes to complete.

The psychological models are:

This presents a profile on four leadership preferences: Change, Participative, Controlling, and Networking.

This provides scores on 7 Team Roles and also a Flexibility score. This is useful in identifying the roles that the person is more suited to, and also identifies the roles that the person may be less suited to.

This provides information on Emotional Intelligence. The first section looks at understanding oneself i.e. Self Awareness, Managing Own Emotions, and Self Motivation. The second section looks at understanding others i.e. Social Awareness, Managing Other’s Emotions, and Social Motivation.

This provides useful insight on how we are all different in terms of the way we prefer to learn and also provides some information on whether we may be more right or left brain dominant.  

This is based on Carl Jung’s Type research. The MBTI is the best known questionnaire. The Type model states that you will have a preferred type e.g. you are either an Extravert or Introvert. Actually, the scale is a continuous scale so you can sit in the middle – but it will still put you into one side.
