The Profile®

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 60 minutes to take over the Internet, on a PC, or with a booklet and pencil -- no administrator or proctoring is required.

The Profile is used for placement, promotion, self-improvement, coaching, succession planning, and job description development. While no standardized assessments can be customized, the Profile is more versatile. It can develop Job Match Patterns that are customized by company, department, manager, position, geography, or any combination of these factors.

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.

Seven Reports
The Profile can produce seven types of reports:

• Individual Report - A guide for self-understanding
• Placement Report - Selecting the right people through Job Match
• Multi-Job Match Report - Useful for succession planning and reassigning employees to new positions
• Coaching Report - An excellent training and development tool
• Job Profile Summary Report - Used with job descriptions to more accurately define job requirements
• Summary Reports - To give you a "snapshot" of essential information
• Graph Report - For visual analysis of Job Match

Easy to Use
The Profile can be conveniently administered in several ways - over the Internet, or at your site, using either a computer or an assessment booklet. Results are immediate thanks to computer technology, and the reports you choose are in your hands in just minutes.

The Profile is the assessment to use for a thorough analysis of people, job responsibilities, and Job Match. It is a valuable tool that will help you build your organization and reach your goals.

Sample Reports

Placement Report Used typically when you are trying to identify how well a person will fit into a given position. When they are outside of the Job Pattern, interview questions are suggested.	Coaching Report Similar to the hiring report in that it matches an individual's actual results to a job pattern. However, in the Coaching Report, instead of interview questions, you have advice for the employee's supervisor when they score outside the job match pattern.
Individual Report Generally the report that is shared with the individual who took the assessment. There is no reference to any specific job pattern.	Multi - Job Match Report Allows the matching of one individual to several Job Match Patterns. This facilitates an understanding of where the best job fit might be expected.
Summary Report Utilized to have a quick look on how well an individual fits into a particular job pattern. It reports the individual scores against that job pattern and gives a brief statement for each. There are no interview questions provided with this report.	Summary Graph A one page graph utilized to have a quick look on how well an individual fits into a particular job pattern.
