The PPA personality assessment takes only 8-10 minutes to complete

You don't have to take hours to complete this assessment. Our research and development has created the assessment with 24 forced-choice items that are so succinct that it takes only 8-10 minutes to complete. The individual identifies qualities that are most and least like them at work.

The reports are comprehensive and easy to read

The PPA reports provide accurate behavioural information that is comprehensive and easy to read. Although the system is psychology-based, the reports are written for the business community and do not require a psychologist or consultant to decipher the information.

Customized job profiling, our job evaluation tool takes into account corporate culture - not generic job classifications

Job Profiling means you can define the behavioural requirements of your jobs to reflect the specifics of your organizational requirements, as opposed to generic job classifications. Job profiling will differ from company to company as the buisness strategy and corporate culture may be different even though the job title may be the same.
