The WorkPlace Big Five Profile 4.0™

The WorkPlace Big Five Profile 4.0™ is a personality assessment based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality, the current standard for psychologists. With only 107 questions, busy employees find WorkPlace easy to complete online in 10 – 15 minutes. WorkPlace is written in straightforward language specifically for business applications such as:

  • Employee selection
  • Competency modeling
  • Leadership development
  • Succession planning
  • Performance improvement
  • Career coaching
  • Team building

 

The WorkPlace Big Five Profile measures:

Need for Stability – The degree to which we respond to stress.

Extraversion – The degree to which we tolerate sensory stimulation from people/ situations.

Originality – The degree to which we are open to new experiences/ new ways of doing things.

Accommodation – The degree to which we defer to others.

Consolidation – The degree to which we push toward goals.

WorkPlace is a normative test and can be used for job selection; many commercially well known assessments are not suitable for job selection. WorkPlace’s coefficient alpha of .83—a measure of its reliability—is among the highest of all assessments and it is in compliance with International Test Commission standards. Developed by Pierce and Jane Howard at Center for Applied Cognitive Studies, WorkPlace is:

Reliable: Extremely reliable compared to available personality inventories

Acceptable: High acceptance of personal results by those tested

Respected: Based on the most widely respected personality model in the personality research community at the present time

Valid: Established predictive validity across a variety of jobs

Uncomplicated: No theory to understand; a clear language of personality differences

Compatible: Serves as a road map to major theories of personality

Using WorkPlace for Selection and Succession Planning companies define a target profile for a specific job and assess candidates against it. This is a crucial part of the selection process along with behavioral interviewing, reference checking, critical thinking testing, and others.

By selecting the right people for the right role, organizations:

  • Reduce attrition
  • Increase performance and productivity
  • Reduce on-the-job stress
  • Increase employee satisfaction and morale
  • Reduce absenteeism
  • Impact the bottom line
