The Working Styles Assessment (WSA) assesses a person’s work-related personality traits—the traits that are related to effective job performance.

Key Features

• Measures 18 constructs. These constructs are grouped in five general categories: drive, interpersonal skill, adjustment, responsibility, and problem-solving skill.
• Helps users understand their own work preferences and approaches, allowing them to identify potentially satisfying occupations and providing the foundation for work with a career counsellor.
• Helps hiring managers identify the working styles they value in employees and select applicants based on the degree to which they possess those working styles.

Online Administration & Scoring Options

• i-Admins: Provide on-screen test administration, either in your office or remotely.
• Interpretive Reports: Offer an at-a-glance visual representation of working style scores, a list of highest-ranked working styles, and a customised Career Exploration Worksheet.
• Personnel Selection Reports: Offer an Applicant-Job Fit Assessment, which matches applicant characteristics to job characteristics, as well as sample interview questions designed to probe each of the 18 working styles.
