What is the Echo PerformanSe Test?

The Echo PerformanSe test is a personality test influenced by the "Big Five" model of personality. In the test, you are presented with 70 sets of two statements from which you must select one statement that describes you better than the other.

The test has no time limit, but average users complete it in approximately 15 minutes. Each question you answer provides a variety of behavioral patterns, and through the combined answers of all 70 questions a complex analysis of your personality, motivation, behavior and cognitive characteristics is formed.

Tip: although there is no time limit in the Echo PerformanSe Test, taking too long hesitating over the questions can have a negative impact on your results.

Echo PerformanSe Test Factors

One of the unique attributes of the Echo PerformanSe test is that through the pervasiveness of each of the five factors used in the test's model in your results, a further map of cognitive workplace abilities is formed. The five factors which the Echo test is based on (IDEAC) are influenced by the Big 5 model of personality, adapted to work place capacities.

Influence
Decision
Efficiency
Agility
Collaboration

Your score on each of these factors is then used to assess your aptitude in ten workplace related cognitive abilities:

A question like this can reveal your levels of influence, agreeableness, and how well you can resolve conflict. Being able to maintain your composure during conflict improves your ability to express your ideas in a way that others can relate to.

How you are able to learn from your own actions, leading to self improvement.

This section of the PeformanSe test includes 27 statements where regarding learning, which you will need to rank on a scale of 1-5 depending on how relevant it is to you.
