Personality Profiling

By using personality profiles as business assessment tools you have the means to motivate, stimulate and encourage people in your organisation by raising people's self-awareness, self-esteem and self-confidence.

Assessment, testing and development play a vital part in not only recruiting but also retaining key people in your business.

What is Personal Profile Analysis (PPA)?

Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work answering questions such as – what are their strengths and limitations? Are they self starters? How do they communicate? What motives them?

Why carry out Personality Profiling?

• Provide an accurate overview of your work behavioural preferences they give you the self awareness to consolidate your working strengths and compensate for your limitations
• Can be used to modify your communication style for greater effect
• Used to understand the impact your behavioural preferences have on your work colleagues
• Whilst people remain the heart of a business it is their interaction with one another that can impede the flow of work and productivity.
• Personality clashes are a major cause of breakdown in team communication and good will.

Personal Profile Analysis enables people to become more aware of their work style. Only by improving their self awareness will they have the means to consolidate their working strengths and compensate for their behavioural limitations.

Benefits of the Personal Profile Analysis

• Fast, accurate and cost effective
• Takes only 7-8 minutes

Team Profiling and Behaviour

Profiling teams gets to the heart of team issues identifying where things are going wrong, personality clashes and challenges that need to be overcome.



Team behaviour can lie at the heart of an underperforming team. Understanding your team, through team profiling will get to the root of the problem quickly and effectively.

By profiling individual members within existing teams you will get a snapshot of that team. How are team members interacting? Are there personality clashes? Are there behavioural issues holding team performance back?

The team profiling report shows in clear graphical format the behavioural preferences of each individual within the team, the role each person plays and what they bring to the team. It enables people to understand what makes their colleagues ‘tick’. It builds mutual understanding, co-operation and open communication.

Existing teams: how team profiling can help

• Underperforming teams – is this team not meeting its targets?
• Personality clashes – is this impeding team performance?
• Are you appointing a new manager to the team – do they need to understand the people they have on their team and how to best manage them? What leadership style works best for a given team?
• Communication problems – do the team members understand how to communicate with each other and appreciate what each of them brings to the team?
• Focusing and committing a team to its objective – by looking at the Ideal team culture, a team can understand where they need to be and work out a way to get there
• Is change planned – is the organisation undergoing or about to undergo change? Profiling a team will tell managers how to communicate that change to the team, how the news will be received by them and the support the team needs to help them through it.
