I disagree with my results!

The following information is intended to provide further insight into how our assessment works and why you may not see yourself in your results:

The Assessment

The Assessment is designed to measure markers of behaviour that scientific research has evidenced as underpinning personality and cognition. We have selected personality and cognitive traits based on their association with workplace behaviour and job performance, from the Occupational Psychology literature and research.

The Assessment measures thousands of data points about candidates' natural preferences and tendencies while they are completing the tasks, with multiple tasks measuring multiple traits (when in times of stress, it's our natural behaviours we default back to and it can consume personal resources to keep up behaviours not natural to us). The tasks themselves rest on decades of research in the field of neuroscience which can paint a rich picture of how candidates typically behave.

Once The Assessment is complete, the results are instantly compared to an ideal ‘framework’ of behaviours for the specific role and culture. Therefore, only the most essential behaviours for the specific role and organisation will be taken into account.

Results Interpretation

Although this happens extremely rarely, there are a few potential reasons why a result may seem surprising.

The way you completed The Assessment:
It's important to follow instructions during The Assessment, allowing a sufficient amount of time to complete it and removing yourself from all potential distractions. We sometimes find that not being fully focused, having distractions around, push notifications not being turned off, etc, may slightly skew a candidate's results.

Change of reference points:
Although someone may seem exceptionally confident, driven, high in affiliation, etc in comparison to their most immediate surroundings, this may not apply when comparing them to the wider population. We measure your behaviours in comparison to thousands of people! Compared to the population average, you may display certain behaviours to either a higher or lower extent than when compared to those you interact with on a day to day basis, such as friends and family.

The difference between natural default behaviour and learned behaviour:
Remember that The Assessment captures your natural preferences; that is, your most preferred ‘default’ behaviours you’re likely to display, especially when placed under significant pressure. This doesn’t mean that you cannot ‘stretch’ yourself to display either more or less extreme behaviours, depending on what you've learned like coping strategies or training. However, displaying behaviours that are not your natural preference or tendency, may require more effort to maintain over time, especially when under stress.
