Psychological Solutions online personality testing combines groundbreaking psychometric research with the power of modern technology to give you accurate information about performance, potential, personality, behaviour and motivations.
Competency Measurement, Performance Management and Future Potential

apply a unified model for selection and development                  across all job roles
instantly assess a candidate’s suitability for any job role                  in your organisation
review an individual’s specific strengths and                  development needs to diagnose and tackle performance                  problems

design targeted Personal Development Plans
evaluate team composition, strengths and potential                  problems
produce effective succession plans

Constantly Validated and Always Accurate
Persona uses complex equations to assess all the relationships between an individual’s personality, existing competencies, current performance and future potential simultaneously.
Our innovative and scientific approach to personality testing and assessment means Persona has a predictive validity of 0.65+. This means that our online testing is much more accurate than any comparable psychometric questionnaire.
Persona is completed by tens of thousands of participants across the World working in a wide diversity of jobs and organisations every year.
