ProfileXT

The Profile is an all-purpose assessment that measures the qualities that make up "The Total Person" - Thinking-style and Reasoning, Occupational Interests and Behavioral Traits. It is convenient and easy to use, requiring only 90 minutes to take over the Internet, on a PC, or with a booklet and pencil -- no administrator or proctoring is required.

The Profile XT is used for placement, promotion, self-improvement, coaching, succession planning, and job description development.

Job Match Makes the Difference

Job Match Patterns are important because they allow you to match the individual attributes of people with the qualities important to success in specific jobs. Studies have shown that Job Match is a more accurate predictor of job success than any of the commonly accepted factors, such as education, experience, or training. When you match people with their jobs, you gain productivity and job-satisfaction as you diminish stress, tension, conflict, miscommunication, and costly employee turnover.
