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.

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
