Management Personality Tests: The Complete Preparation Resource You Need

Management personality tests, like the majority of personality tests, contain questions of different varieties:

• True/false questions – decide whether a statement regarding yourself is true or false
• Scaled questions – choose your level of agreement (usually on a scale of 1-5) with a given statement
• Multiple choice questions – choose the correct answer from a set of options
• Ipsative – compare two or more desirable options and pick the one that is most preferred
• Pymetrics - This new test format is a series of 12-16 games, intended to assess your actual behavior, making them more sophisticated and less prone to bias.

A commonly heard complaint regarding personality tests is that the questions can be answered in different ways based one's mood, role, etc. The first tip in taking the management personality test is that you must think like a manager only. Answer the questions with only that role in mind to optimize your answers to the position.

While some management personality tests are timed, there is no need to worry about not having enough time. The test is timed so that it is difficult to spend too long on each question, which prevents "gaming" the test by fabricating answers. If you take the test as it is supposed to be taken, you should have more than enough time.

On the management personality test, the traits are measured through the use of scales. Each scale has a predetermined "ideal" range based on the characteristics that are predicted to lead to success in a management position. The ideal range is often marked in green, the neutral range in yellow, and the non-ideal range in red. Below is a sample of managerial characteristics, their definition as they relate to the manager's role, and the ideal ranges. Unlock the full list of characteristics, definitions, and scales in the complete personality test prep pack.
