Personality Questionnaires
How often do you hear the phrase ‘personality clash’ cited in reasons for the costly breakdown in employment relationships? Most employers hire on the basis of someone’s ability and fire on the grounds of personality, usually at considerable financial and emotional expense to the employer and employee.
It doesn’t have to be that way.

Steve assisted us with team development and personality testing for our Head of Departments. The feedback from the staff was that they all felt really comfortable with Steve and found his hands on approach going through their personality profiles a very informative, positive and helpful one. It was a great exercise as it helped our team all recognise each other’s different strengths and approaches and in turn work better together. Steve was always very prompt with replying to correspondence and more than happy to help with any questions during the process. Overall a really good experience and we would look to use Steve again in the near future for other areas of our organisation.

People Central has delivered psychometric testing and assessment services for me for twelve years in two very different organisations. Their degree of expertise and range of tests is excellent, as is their partnership approach in supporting us to use assessments most appropriate to the role and business.
