Choose wisely between pre-employment tests

There are dozens of personality assessments used in various fields like psychology, hiring, and personal development. 

The exact number can be hard to pin down because new tools are constantly being developed, and many assessments are niche or tailored for specific industries or purposes. 

However, here are some of the most widely known and used personality assessments, in alphabetic order:

DISC Personality Assessment

The DISC assessment is widely used in training and team-building exercises but has limitations when assessing candidates in a hiring process. 

Hogan Assessments

Includes tools like the Personality Inventory and Development Survey focused on workplace behaviour and predicting job performance.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

One of the most popular and well-known tools for personal development and team-building contexts, but has significant limitations when it comes to hiring when comparing candidates is a priority. 

Predictive Index (PI)

Measures behavioural drives and cognitive abilities to assess workplace behaviour and fit for a specific role or culture. 

StrengthsFinder (CliftonStrengths)

Identifying an individual's top strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses can be useful for personal development or team-building.

Choose between quasi-ipsative, normative, and ipsative tests

I am often asked which psychometric assessment tools I recommend.

It’s no different than asking me to pick between a hammer and a screwdriver.

The short answer for both, choosing a psychometric assessment or the right hand tool, it depends.

One of the most widely used assessments: Predictive Index (PI)

The PI Behavioral Assessment is one of the most widely used quasi-ipsative tools in talent management.

PI is used in recruitment to compare candidates, but also in team-building and leadership development. 

It helps match individuals with job roles or team dynamics that suit their behavioural styles.
