One of the main business systems is people.
When you are looking to hire someone for your business you may wish to look at some useful tools to help in your hiring decision.
One of those tools is psychometric tests.
These can be given to a job applicant to take, and the result is a report that highlights their preferences. For example, if you are looking for a manager, a shy person will not be suitable obviously. This is the type of information a psychometric report can provide.
A popular psychometric test is the DISC assessment.
What is a DISC assessment?
A DISC assessment is a self-assessment questionnaire designed to evaluate an individual’s behavioural tendencies and personality traits.
It typically includes a series of questions or statements that respondents answer based on their preferences and reactions to various scenarios.
Examples of questions or statements are personal preferences, and preferences when working with others, tasks, and work environments.
The assessment results are then used to create a DISC profile.
What DISC personality types are there?
The DISC model identifies four primary personality types, each associated with its own set of characteristics:
Dominance (D): Individuals with dominant traits tend to be assertive, decisive, and results-oriented. They are often seen as confident and competitive.
Influence (I): People with influential traits are typically sociable, outgoing, and enthusiastic. They excel in interpersonal relationships and communication.
Steadiness (S): Steadiness traits are associated with a calm, patient, and cooperative nature. Individuals with these traits value stability and are excellent team players.
Compliance (C): Those with Compliance traits are detail-oriented, systematic, and methodical. They focus on precision and quality in their work.
