how we do it - The QUEST Profiler

The QUEST Profiler

We have recently added this psychometric questionnaire to our toolbox and have conducted upwards of 250 interviews over the last eighteen months on the results. We have found it to be both accurate and user friendly.

The Quest Profiler has been designed to measure a number of behavioural preferences related to the world of work. As with all psychometrics the results are based upon behavioural preferences and not ability. The implication is that preference equals practice equals performance. Although individuals may be able to demonstrate other different behaviours dependent on ability, motivation, organisation culture and experience, these behaviours will be based on coping mechanisms and will use up energy and be short-term.

The questionnaire profile reflects the behavioural preferences of the candidate, together with their Leadership Style, Team Style, Culture Match and Competency Profile. It is therefore not only comprehensive but written in modern day language which is easily understood. An Accuracy Score reflects the degree of openness and consistency of the responses and can be used to get a feel for the reliability of the results.

All questionnaires of this nature should be used to create a dialogue and feedback should be given both orally and in writing. www.thequestprofiler.com
