Personality Assessment for Professional Development
Personality assessment is a process of testing that uses a combination of techniques to arrive at a hypotheses about a person and their personality, behaviors, and work-related capabilities. It involves the use of interviews, observations, and research-based or standardized assessments. Personality tests can be used in the workplace to assist in candidate selection and to better identify potential strengths and weaknesses in employees and how they function as individuals and within a team. Results from personality assessments can be used to increase in productivity, teamwork and communication, which may improve the effectiveness, quality, and quantity of work. They also help leaders and executives to better understand their work and leadership style, so that they may become more effective at managing their employees or team by knowing what each employee needs to thrive in the workplace and how they might respond to your leadership style. Identifying each individual’s work-related characteristics and interpersonal style can help organizations shape specific roles or positions to fit with their strengths and weaknesses and identify which individuals within a team or C-Suite might work well together or who would do best working alone.
