Character Test

It is useful for both hiring new employees and developing current ones. You can purchase the test for each candidate individually or opt for a budget-friendly subscription.

What is a character test?

A character test is a questionnaire that measures the traits of a candidate's character. It is a useful tool for hiring or selecting employees. Conducting a character test is important for any organization that wants to find the right people for their teams. This test asks candidates relevant questions that help reveal the traits they need. The test uses algorithms to adjust the questions based on the candidate's socially desirable answers while they complete it.

How does the character test work?

The Bridge Personality test is a reliable tool for understanding the character and skills of your employees and job applicants. It uses smart algorithms that change the questions if a candidate tries to manipulate the results or answers in a way that seems favorable. This 'smart character test' ensures that each candidate gets the most relevant questions.

TestGroup provides a variety of character assessments, including the Big Five personality test, the 16 personality test, the 4-color personality test, and the short personality test.

It then reveals the participant's Jung Type. Following this, the report presents the scores in the 4-color model, showcased in an attractive color wheel format. The final page enumerates the scores in 8 widely recognized competencies.

The Bridge Personality test offers six distinct report types. For example, there's a Big Five report designed specifically for recruitment and selection purposes.
