How to Prepare for SHL's OPQ32 Personality Test
The occupational personality questionnaire, OPQ32, is a personality test administered by SHL. Get a score report, study guide, over two hundred questions along with answer explanations with JobTestPrep's online personality test preparation.
The main difference between our personality test and the OPQ32 is in the item format. In each item of the OPQ32 you are presented with three statements and are asked to choose one that is “Most like you” and one that is “Least like you”. In our personality test there is a section that resembles this, but you are presented with four statements , not three. The other sections in our pack, are in different formats in which you will be presented with individual items to rate on a 7, 5, 3, and 2-point scales; and ranking items where you asked to select one statement “Most like you” and one “Least like you”.

About
The Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ) was designed to give organisations an understanding of how aspects of an individual's behavioural style affect his or her performance at work. The OPQ helps organisations to:
- Identify the best-fit applicants for a given role
- Improve interview hit rates
- Identify future leaders
- Re-deploy talent across the business
- Evaluate the talent pool following a merger/acquisition/restructure
- Create ‘winning’ project teams
- Manage the transformation of a technical specialist to an effective people manager
OPQ32 Test Format
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. The candidate is presented with a block of four statements and must choose which of the statements best describes him and which of the statements least describes him. For example: Choose ONE statement that is Most and one that is Least like you:
- I really like to help others.
- I work best in teams.
- I like to get things exactly right.
- I sustain high levels of energy.
