A highly reliable and effective exec-u-test can quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of the candidates without waiting years to find out. A powerful assessment tool for any employer to use for the prevention of hiring mistakes. It has been widely used throughout our offices in many countries. We have tested over 800,000 candidates worldwide and the number of tests we conduct is growing with 6,000 to 7,000 tests every week.
What does the result of our exec-u-test tell?
It is comprised of 200 questions with three alternative answers. It takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour to fill it out although it is not a timed test.
The test shows 10 personality traits which indicate how the applicant would cope in the position needed to be filled. These traits are as follows:
STABILITY – measures the level of concentration, standards, sense of order, planning and organization as well as ones perseverance on a given course.
HAPPINESS – measures the level of enthusiasm, cheerfulness and satisfaction with the achievement of ones goals or the lack thereof.

CERTAINTY – measures consistency, predictability, clarity of observation and knowledge.
ACTIVITY – measures energy level, initiative, liveliness and vigor.

CORRECT ESTIMATION – measures constructive criticism, agreement, fairness and logical reasoning.

(The above is only a brief description of each major trait and you will learn a lot more by attending our Performia Intensive Training Seminar how to understand each trait and relationship with other traits.)
Studying the result of each trait can be interesting but the most important value is from the understanding of the combination and relationship of various traits. In other words, we won't simply identify and focus on one single trait to conclude one type of personality if the person expressed more of this trait than other traits. In fact most people live with personality package which tell them react differently in various circumstances for their best survival in their own viewpoint; and that's why the combination traits of personality analysis is more important and relevant than single trait of personality analysis to reflect the person's real personality. In addition, our test can also help you to see how they can affect the performance and productivity of the person and how it can help you to design or sponsor relevant training and development program on your staff for better performance.
Our experienced consultants can evaluate the information from the test against the requirement and qualities needed for the position in the company. The results are precise, direct and provide a clear-cut picture of the person on his relationship with himself, his work and those around him. It not only gives an accurate idea of whether this person is right for the position, but also an indication of how stable the person stays on the job, how best this person should be managed and how they can be trained if they were hired.
Another important aspect from our test result is the ability to identify the destructive, trouble making personality and unstable performance which will not show up during the interviews and these are the type of people we recommend your company rather avoid hiring though they may appear nice and friendly.
This test is an excellent and invaluable tool in both hiring and personnel development. Our consultant can help you to evaluate your candidate or staff in an understandable form rather than a bunch of incomprehensible psychological terms. It will give you more information of the person when combined with our other online tests in many aspects and all these definitely will raise your certainty in hiring decision to a much higher level. You can acquire the same skill we have by attending our training seminar!
How valid and reliable of our Exec-U-Tests are? Results speak for themselves!
The most workable and effective evaluation method is simply to TEST THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW VERY WELL; then you know which assessment test can be valid and reliable to use!
When come to choose the effective hiring assessment testing tools to help any company in hiring the right people, it could be quite an overwhelming and difficult task for many executives to evaluate the philosophies and methodologies of each assessment tools. Many executives have been very confused and kept shopping around in case the one they use on hand was in fact unreliable with errors or they could become obsolete and ineffective. Some could easily give up and wonder whether anyone really know about the subject of knowing how to know people with certainty. Eventually they would rather trust their own subjective judgment in the recruitment interviews which however is also unreliable too and may put the company into unpredictable risks.
Since 1984 our Performia international organization has been gathering a lot of information from more than 800,000 Exec-U-Tests done across many industries and many countries. From this experience, we have gained not only a very broad knowledge about which profiles fit certain positions but also how it can be communicated to both the applicant and the management in such a way that is simple and understandable in a detailed way.
The EXEC-U-TEST system with over twenty languages is known for its incredible precision with its built-in reliability check and the speed with which it can be delivered. This test can be used for all types of positions and gives you a great value both in recruitment type testing and internal testing for existing staff. Instead of using "years" to really know the person followed with all kinds of risk, you can depend on our Exec-U-Test to instantly know the person.
We don't see there is any other better evaluation criteria in comparing personality assessment tests if you want to; as only results can speak for its validity and reliability without subject to any other arbitrary assumption, criteria and condition with incomprehensible terminology. Any workable personality assessment tests provider should have no reservation to allow using their tests on people you know, and if not but giving you all "reasonable arguments" and insist on testing people you do not necessarily know before, you know it's better to watch out.
"Assessment test" is no longer defined to be evaluated by testing people that you don't know or a lot of job candidates yourself over time to prove and define the reliability, validity and workability in your own company. Any company really cannot afford "trial and error" in using any assessment testing tools for any hiring and people management decision. That's why it is important to secure your protection and guarantee by using the tests for the people you know very well for evaluation in the first place. If our test result agrees with what you have already known about the person, then you can extend and use it to test other people that you don't know.
