Personality Tools for General Use
Personality psychometrics measure an individual’s character traits. These traits are the things that enable us to emphasise with others or predict how they might behave in certain circumstances. Understanding someone’s personality helps to understand how he/she works, what type of work they will excel in, how they will associate with their peers and manage their team.
There are a huge number of personality tools on the market but to help you Getfeedback’s highly experienced psychologists have researched all available tools and have selected the 4 best ones for you to choose from.

Hogan
There are 2 different Hogan personality tools. The Hogan Personality Inventory identifies the bright side of the personality and reveals what we see when people are at their best. Click here for more information.
The Hogan Development Survey Survey identifies the dark side of the personality and reveals what we see when people are stressed - this is the only business-related inventory that measures these dysfunctional behavioural patterns. Therefore this is an excellent choice if you are interested in finding out more about how an individual will cope under pressure, what will cause them to derail. It is especially relevant to leadership roles. Click here for more information
