PERSONALITY TESTING - The concept of four basic personality types dates back to ancient Greece, where Hypocrites labeled the four (4) personality types as "Sanguine", "Phlegmatic", "Melancholy", and "Choleric". Over the centuries, these descriptions have become more refined, but most personality testing systems on the market today still largely describe these four temperaments.

For simplicity, we refer to the four types as "A", "B", "C" and "D". Each has its own strengths and weaknesses as well as various traits that are often exhibited. None of us are ALL one type; in fact, we ALL draw from ALL FOUR types. However, there is usually one, sometimes two, that we draw from most often, and knowing that specific information can be the key to a successful hire or knowing how to manage employees.

If you know which Personality Characteristics and Traits contribute to the SUCCESS of your best employees, and the differences between those and your most difficult employees, you can begin to develop a "Success Profile" - what we call a "BASELINE" - of the "ideal" employee profile in each job and for each geographic region. Hire Success gives you the tools to both identify these key traits as well as develop a "Baseline" from which to compare the personalities of new applicants or even employees being considered for a move or promotion. Even if your company is "downsizing", it can be a valuable tool to identify the people who have the best chance of success, especially when a smaller staff may be expected to do even more.

 
WHY IS PERSONALITY TESTING IMPORTANT? - Consider the old television program, "The Odd Couple", and remember the sloppy Oscar Madison and the impeccable Felix Unger. Although Oscar's personality was one that appeared to be disorganized and messy, he, like a lot of people who may be messy, still knows where everything was that he needed. However, Oscar's filing system always drove Felix crazy as his perception of organization was more precise, neat and orderly. Perhaps the Oscars of the world may get a lot done because they don't take the time to file and organize, just as the Felixes of the world are needed in order to keep everything straight.

The same applies in your company. Perhaps you've seen a Felix-type Sales Manager that insists on every report being complete, neat and on-time, while the sales force just wants to see people and take orders. It's the age-old problem where successful sales people are often charge-ahead drivers and motivator personality types, but those types tend to be more messy than their detail oriented or "by the rule" counterparts.

Knowing the personality of every employee in your company can be a valuable tool in helping managers understand how to manage the people who report to them. Sometimes, for example, the turnover problem is not that the company isn't attracting the "right" sales people, the problem can often be with the person(s) MANAGING the sales people!

Using personality testing to help people find the positions within your company that best suit their personality and "style", can increase morale, productivity and effectiveness, and can often reduce costly employee turnover.

If you are seriously considering Personality Testing for your company and want to see just how accurate and how much information you could have on every person sitting across the desk from you, we invite you to take a FREE PERSONALITY TEST On-Line! We'll contact you after receiving the information and e-mail a report back to you within one business day.

You'll be amazed at how Personality Testing can improve the quality of new hires and reduce turnover. Every employee should take a Personality Test and keep the results in their personnel file. What will you do when one of your top people comes in one day and gives you a 2-week notice because they are moving, or starting a family? Wouldn't it be nice to have this information on-file so you could hire someone with a similar personality and traits?

Have you ever said "If just had 5 more people like Jane, I wouldn't have any employment problems"? I suspect we've all said that at one time or another about an employee, but now we can DO SOMETHING about it to actually identify the 5 more just like that person.

PERSONALITY TESTING SUMMARY  - Background, education and experience are obviously key ingredients in successful hiring, but so is the person's Personality. If you take an aggressive "go-getter" and require them to do a repetitive job, they'll get bored easily and feel confined. Conversely, if you hire a slow, methodical, detailed person for a fast-paced, high energy job, such as many sales positions, they may feel uncomfortable calling on prospects until they have researched every bit of available information about the prospect's company and every key player in the organization. Even though they may have experience in sales and a degree to back it up, it doesn't help you if they don't get the job done. Sometimes, it's just a matter of the "style" that matches the personality. You can probably think of MANY examples in your own life and in your own company!
