Everyone has certain fundamental personality traits that can be measured in a good manner, that are stable over time and that also affect how we act at work. As it is impossible to carry out a completely objective assessment of another person yourself, personality tests can be a good help in avoiding misunderstandings and prejudices.
Research also shows that well-made personality tests measure very accurately and that the results are remarkably stable over a period of time. If you are tested again after a number of years, the differences in the results will probably only be very minor ones. It has also proved to be the case that personality tests are very practicable for predicting success at work when the results are matched to a personality profile for the job in question. You will have an objective basis for discussion on questions such as social skills, stability and organisational ability.
Gordon’s Personality Inventory – GPI measures personal qualities and values. With the three parts of the test, the individual’s characteristics are obtained in 20 scales. Those tested answer questions on both descriptions of personal characteristics and also what they think is important in life.
