How to take the test
Buying and completing the test
The performance personality test is a comprehensive personality test based on the gold standard in personality testing, The Big Five Personality Traits. The test is a 100 question test, which divides your personality into 5 traits: Openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
The test will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete and you will be presented with statements such as ‘I carry out my plans’, ‘I get angry easily’, and ‘I am not very methodical’. You will be asked to rate yourself on a scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree on each of the items presented.
You must complete the test in one sitting as you cannot return to the test or ‘log in’ to the system. Allowing for you to stop and start the test would introduce bias into the results and therefore make them invalid. Make sure you have time and will not be disturbed when you start the test.
