WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Definition of the Professional-Psychological Personality Type Test

Assessment of Professional-Psychological Personality Type Test - Symptoms and Signs

professional type

This measure is designed to support a rapid, structured appraisal of work-related behavioral tendencies in organizational settings. Assessment of Professional-Psychological Personality Type provides an index of an individual’s typical approach to work tasks and interpersonal functioning at work.

The instrument includes 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture patterns relevant to role preferences (e.g., leadership, task execution, communication, and idea generation) that may inform team composition, role assignment, and development planning.

Assessment of Professional-Psychological Personality Type should be interpreted as a descriptive profile rather than a diagnostic indicator and is best integrated with other sources of information (e.g., interview, supervisor input, and job demands). When authorship is cited, it is commonly attributed to John L. Holland.
