- Improve interview hit rates

- Re-deploy talent across the business
- Evaluate the talent pool following a merger/acquisition/restructure
- Create ‘winning’ project teams

The test is comprised of a maximum of 104 questions which measure 32 specific personality characteristics. It is highly complex and is administered on a computer.
