WorkPlace Big Five Profile™
The Five-Factor Personality Assessment
You can sense when someone isn’t the right fit for a role, or when a leader is quietly holding a team back. Sensing it isn’t the same as being able to explain it, or do something about it.
The WorkPlace Big Five Profile™ is a science-based personality assessment built on the Five-Factor Model, the recognised gold standard of personality measurement among psychologists and researchers.
Backed by more than 20 years of research, an average coefficient alpha of 0.83, and use by more than 5,000 organisations, consulting firms and non-profits worldwide, it’s among the most psychometrically robust workplace personality assessments available.
The assessment itself takes about 15 minutes (93 online questions) and reveals an individual’s 5 personality supertraits and 23 subtraits, explaining not just what someone does at work, but the communication style, preferences and energy behind it.
