Psychologists use tools like the Professional Passport, based on the Five-Factor Model, as a primary means of understanding and interpreting personality. The Five-Factor Model has:
- Extreme reliability compared to other inventories.
- High acceptability by the thousands of individuals who we’ve coached and trained.
- Respect and consensus of the personality research community.
- Established predictive validity across a variety of competencies and jobs.
- A workplace friendly vocabulary providing an uncomplicated way of understanding potential.
The Professional Passport beats other popular assessments because it measures personality on five dimensions. Rather than just the typical four characteristics, the Professional Passport adds a means of understanding an individual’s emotional response to stressful situations, which can make or break job performance:
- Need for Stability: The level of emotional response in conflict or stressful situations.
- Extraversion: The size of an individual’s energy tank for working with people and taking charge.
- Originality: An individual’s desire to explore new things, embrace change and pay attention to the details.
- Accommodation: The degree to which an individual strives to serve and adapt to others.
- Consolidation: How conscientiously an individual strives for perfection, drives toward goals, and follows a plan.
Scores are provided along a bell-curve, normal distribution rather than categorizing individuals into type groups. After spending just 15 minutes taking the assessment, your results provide a comprehensive view of your strengths, traits that might take you off course, and the competencies and job assignments that will both energize and drain you.
