About Personality++

This self-rating questionnaire capture several aspects of personality as well as general strengths and weakness that relate to cognition. The measures are normally distributed in the population, which means that most people are somewhere in the middle while some are in the lower or higher ends of the scales. There is no “good” or “bad”, just different profiles that are more or less suitable for different assignments.

Many of the questionnaires are used in health-care, meaning they are highly valid and reliable. This also mean they might appear somewhat scrutinizing, however, they also mirror behaviors in the normal working population that are important for understanding the cognitive style of a particular individual.

These measures are subjective measures that are complementary to the objective cognitive tests.  The two form a good supplement to each other and are recommended to by used side by side, for instance in a recruiting situation. If you have any doubts regarding interpretation of the results please consult our guide or contact the support.
