When getting up in the morning, do you envision a work day full of productivity and good spirits? Or do you expect sour attitudes, miscommunications and general dysfunction? Naturally you want an office with a happy and smooth moving environment. One of the best ways you can achieve optimal employee performance and retention is through the use of personality testing.

Personality testing measures certain aspects of an applicant’s personality, such as whether they are introverted or extraverted, and can show stability and motivation. These are key qualities that you want in a good employee.

  • Openness to experience
  • Conscientiousness
  • Extraversion
  • Agreeableness
  • Emotional stability

These five personality traits are important when you are organizing a team of employees that can work well together. These personality traits are also critical when you want to bring a new employee into an existing team. Will the employee adapt to the company culture? Can the employee transition into a system or strategy that your company already has in place? These questions can be answered by leveraging the power of the personality test.
