PERSONALITY AND 360 QUESTIONNAIRES
Personality tests are useful in conjunction with an interview, in order to help decide between equally good candidates for a role, or where there is a concern with a candidate that a personality test might shed more light on.
Where clients hold development centres to help with succession planning, adding an ability test, a personality test, or a 360 questionnaire would be a useful addition to group exercises and interviews.
Delving into 360 degree feedback can be an enlightening process for many managers, gaining that view from those they work for, their colleagues and those that work for them.
This could be the result of a grievance against a manager, a poor performance process – or more positively, in response to succession planning needs and team development at work, to unlock employee potential.
