Which Personality Questionnaire Should I Use and How Do I Use It Within My Organisation?
We are often asked this question. I guess the answer really depends on what the person wants to achieve. But another way of answering this question is to provide a personality solution that provides reports to meet most people’s range of needs. So this is what I will do. Over the next few weeks I will provide you with an article that covers different uses for personality assessment. This week we will start with an introduction to the Identity Personality Questionnaire, we will then cover each report individually in more detail.
First why should we be interested in personality and what is Identity?
To understand performance at work it is not just about people’s experience, and ability or skill level that is important. Their personality or how they behave, and their behavioural preferences also has a big bearing on their sustained performance.
Workplace Behavioural Preferences
The best way to understand this very simply is that you can test people on certain skills e.g., you can give me a Checking Test – and guess what, I will do very well on this test as it is very short, and I can be focused for a short time and do well on this test. But if you put me into a job that requires me to deal with detailed meticulous checking all day, I will be hopeless, and I will not enjoy it! So, although I might have some underlying skills to perform this task, I do not have the right personality for this type of work. Whereas, others may not only be good at it, but they actually enjoy this type of work.
Therefore, understanding an individual’s personality is vital – if we are going to get the best from them and to look after them well!
