Personality assessments predict the Performance and Potential of the candidate in a specific job role. Personality tests are used to understand the characteristic patterns of feelings, thoughts and behaviours that people reveal in various situations.

They are not only used in screening at the hiring stage but also extensively used when designing career progression maps and assessment centres.
