HOW TO TAKE THE TEST:
1) Each question, unless otherwise indicated, has three possible answers:
a. Yes or "more yes than no"
b. Perhaps, not sure
c. No or "more no than yes"
2) Only give one answer to each question
3) Please note that there is no "correct way" of answering the questions of the questionnaire.
Even a seemingly incorrect answer might actually be to your advantage in relation to a particular
characteristic, for example::
Question:
"Do you get along with all your colleagues?"
A YES answer could indicate that the person likes working in a group. A NO answer could indicate
that the person has the ability to bring about change/innovation in corporate procedures.
In any case, neither of the two answers is wrong, so try to answer realistically.
4) When you answer the test questions you should respond in terms of how you behave in the
circumstances suggested rather than in terms of how you have learnt that you ought to behave.
For example, if the analysis asked you:
"Does bad news have the power to discourage you?"
Some individuals, mindful of various trainings they have attended, might answer “no” because they have learned that successful people should not allow themselves to be discouraged by bad news. If, however, they were to observe how they REALLY behave in practice, they would see that sometimes they do actually allow themselves to be discouraged and so the right answer should be MAYBE.
Try, therefore, to answer in terms of how you actually behave rather than in terms of
how one ought to behave in such circumstances.
The analysis has a built-in mechanism designed to detect answers that are too far removed from reality. Should too many such answers be found, please note that you will be asked to retake the analysis.
5) When the questionnaire asks you about work, please refer to your current job. If you are not
currently employed, please refer to your most recent job.
If you believe that any requests for data violate your confidentiality rights,
please do not take the test and send your feedback to
feedback@i-profile.it.
Thank you for your cooperation.
