Online Personality Tests

Profiles International offers work based online personality tests to help companies hire, train, coach and retain top employees

Many employers want to know a candidate’s aptitude and personality type to ensure an appropriate job match. Some want to know it before they hire a candidate, some before they promote an employee, and some before they create work teams.

In an effort to learn more about an employee, employers today administer personality tests. There are many kinds of personality tests available, but in the workplace a validated and reliable occupational assessment is critical to success on the job. Profiles offers assessments because we believe that professionals do not pass or fail but should be selected for the job that matches their individual personality traits.

Using Personality Tests
A personality test should never be used as the sole reason to hire, fire, promote or assign a worker. But advocates say knowing aptitude and personality types through personalities testing creates a more harmonious workplace because it helps people understand how best to communicate with different types of people.

When you know your own personality type, you better understand your work style and preferences that can better facilitate career decisions.

Client Comments
"We wanted to examine the potential ability of entry-level employees. For a while, we used Profile XT only. Now we are also using Step One Survey II. We discovered we could probe a candidate's interests more deeply. The assessments uncover traits and attitudes that would not normally have come up in our regular interviews. Everyone at Profiles International is very helpful and proactive."

- Phil Buckleman, Alfa Laval Inc

"Our company always uses the Performance Indicator when hiring new doctors. We've used it hundreds of times to identify whether or not a doctor has the right personality for the job. Now we encourage the company to use it for other leadership positions. Everyone at Profiles has been a joy to work with. Kudos to the company!"
