I have used several PERSONALITY PROFILING SYSTEMS in my sales management career. My conclusion…You are crazy if you don’t use some testing device that you trust. Some are complicated to administer, some are expensive to use and some just aren’t very good.

PDP Works by OPUS Marketing Solutions is the best I have ever used. It’s fast to administer, inexpensive and deadly accurate. Let me take your profile and I guarantee that you will be amazed at the accuracy of the analysis.

So, why is this important? Hire the wrong person and it will take at least 18 months to recover. Interviewing is difficult even when you are great at it; the candidates are spectacular at convincing you that they are perfect. Sometimes you are on the fence and just can’t decide.

Don’t flip a coin – have them take the test and you will know!

Personality Profiling – How It Works
The personality assessment tool measures seven key aspects of a behavioral style. Those are an individual's Dominance, Extroversion, Pace/Patience, Conformity, Energy Level, Energy Style, and Fact/Feeling orientation. The profile also measures the differences between how a person feels they are naturally versus how they feel they need to modify their style. As a result, additional measurements on energy drain and morale become available.

Top Performer Profile
Given that certain positions require specific behavioral traits (such as good people skills, patience, attention to detail, or aggressiveness), then it would seem to be a good idea to know exactly what already successful people look like, and be able to compare and contrast your candidates against that data. That is exactly what you do when you are able to measure your candidates against a top performer profile.

The software we use is actually quite sophisticated, so in addition to getting the essence of a person's personality profile "right," OPUS is able to manipulate the data to be able to contrast and compare your candidates against that top performer data. OPUS has also done some research over the past three years, and they have found that the retention rates are almost 300% better when the clients match up their candidates to their top performer profile.
