Personality exams are used to determine the candidate whose behavioral traits are best suited for the particular organization as well as for the specific supervisory position. Most managerial personality tests are based on the Big Five Model, comprised of the five primary personality elements: Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, Openness and Extroversion.
When taking the personality exam, you can expect to find a myriad of short statements. Every statement carries a series defining the degree to which the statement refers to your attitudes and behaviors. The alternatives range from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
