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.
OPQ32 Reports
There are multiple report options for the OPQ32. The range of reports allows for results to be interpreted according to the objectives of both HR and managers. Here are some examples of reports:
- Manager Plus Report
- Development Action Planner
- Candidate Plus Report
- Universal Competency Report
- Sales Report
- Leadership Report
These reports are useful because they are user friendly, detailed, and show areas of strength and development. In addition, they provide a clear, concise, graphical summary of performance in job-related areas of expertise.
