PROFESSIONAL PROFILE-2

Analyse work personality to anticipate professional success.

Professional Profile 2 is our latest personality assessment, designed and validated using the most recent method in psychometrics. It analyses, with scientific accuracy, the traits that influence the behaviour and performance of an individual at work.

Professional Profile 2 measures 14 set of opposing dimensions (e.g. introversion vs. extraversion, flexibility vs. firmness), resulting in an analysis of 28 aspects of personality and motivations.

This two-dimensional approach reflects the subtle nature of personality and motivations better than a one-dimensional approach does. The assessment minimises the impact of social desirability by its use of ipsative question structures and the Thurstonian IRT model of analysis. This increases Professional Profile 2’s reliability.

Professional Profile 2 meets the psychometric criteria established by the European Standing Committee on Tests and Testing and has been registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS).
