Unlock Better hiring with our Personality Insights Tool

Psychometric testing is the science of measuring mental abilities and behavioural traits using standardised assessments. Our test helps to understand how a person thinks, works, and interacts with others, which are all valuable insights for hiring and team development.

To make better hiring decisions! Our tool provides clear, objective data on a candidate’s personality and working style, helping you assess cultural fit, team dynamics, and long-term potential — not just skills or experience. When you’ve found the right candidate, it can also support career development, team building and onboarding and management planning.

Our model is based on the Big Five Personality Traits of Personality, which focuses on:

• Conscientiousness - How organised and goal-focused someone is
• Agreeableness - How cooperative and empathetic they are
• Neuroticism - Emotional reactivity and stress tolerance
• Openness to Experience - Creativity and openness to new experiences
• Extraversion - Sociability, assertiveness and emotional expression.

We look at these traits because they describe an individual’s behaviour, emotions and thinking patterns.

The Big Five remain relatively stable throughout most of our lifetime and are influenced by genetics and environmental factors. The Big Five sorts individuals into binary categories such as introvert and extrovert and ranks them on a scale between the two extreme ends of the 5 dimensions. 

We use a standardised questionnaire consisting of 60 questions, where the individual rates themself on various statements and adjectives. This assessment provides scores for each of the five traits to create a comprehensive profile report that can be accessed through FONT.

• A clear personality profile
• Role and team compatibility
• Communication style and motivation
• Stress triggers and stability
• Development suggestions
• 5 tailored interview questions
• Summary and management tips

Candidates receive their own version of the report, which includes:

• Trait percentages (e.g., 60% Practical / 40% Imaginative)
• Personal strengths and development areas
• Job role recommendations
• A built-in AI chat assistant to help interpret their results
• The ability to share their profile with other employers

Yes! The big advantage is its scientific foundation. We have rigorously developed and validated our test to ensure it is reliable and valid. Our results provide objective data to help make unbiased decisions. It can predict future performance and behaviour to help choose the right candidate for your business. We have a dedicated team here at HRGO to help you interpret the results and make the hiring process simple!

Our developers have made our test fair and free from cultural, gender and socioeconomic biases. The way we sensitively collect the data through psychometric testing protects the individual’s privacy to ensure confidentiality of their results.

We understand that while psychometric tests are powerful tools, they are not the sole basis if making decisions.
