interview preparation
Taking the 16pf online is an effective way to help prepare for that really important interview. The one-to-one feedback will identify areas of strength while suggesting strategies for development.
selection
16pf helps to remove subjectivity from the recruitment and selection process by providing a comprehensive measure of an individual’s whole personality, not just the traits candidates may choose to display at interview.
16pf and competencies
The 16pf can be used to predict performance against competencies – the factors critical to success in a specific role. 16pf competency profiles help identify the best person/job fit.
identifying potential
In the hands of a trained practitioner, the 16pf identifies strengths, untapped potential, career fit and areas for further development. It enables informed decisions to be made about an individual’s capacity to perform in a larger role.
insights when restructuring
The 16pf helps match people to roles during restructuring programmes. It does this by revealing hidden potential and mapping individuals against the competencies required for each role.
16pf for a much more rounded view
The 16pf provides a more rounded view of individuals than other similar tools, enabling managers to select, develop and motivate people based on this ‘full picture’. The 16pf measures five global factors which relate directly to the widely-used Big Five model:
- relating to others
- influence and collaboration
- thinking style
- structure and flexibility
- management of pressure
Each of the global factors contains a subset of the 16 personality factors which include:
- warmth
- reasoning
- emotional stability
- dominance
- liveliness
- rule-consciousness
- social boldness
- sensitivity
- vigilance
- abstractedness
- privateness
- apprehension
- openness to change
- self-reliance
- perfectionism
- tension
