Most pre-employment personality exams follow the lead of the Big Five Model. The five time-honored primary personality traits that predict job performance are:
1. Extroversion – dominance; determination accompanied by high energy
2. Agreeableness – emotional intelligence; sociability; sensitivity
3. Emotional stability – self-confidence; ability to adjust
4. Openness to new experiences – flexibility; sense of inner control; creativity
5. Conscientiousness – integrity; dependability; thoroughness; work ethic
The managerial personality questionnaire measures work-related traits and facets, such as values, attitudes, motivation, interests, interaction with situations and people, preferences, and emotionality of responses.
Items are formatted as multiple-choice, with response alternatives ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.” The task is to pick the answer that most closely reflects your attitudes and behavior. Through the process of exam preparation, you gain increased speed and insight into the real meaning behind the questions on personality exams.
Without preparation that includes question and answer analysis, it is often difficult to understand exactly what each item is assessing. JobTestPrep takes the guesswork out of the equation by providing an in-depth explanation of answers and sample questions.
