Virtual Personality & Ability Assessment - Professional (4 sessions plus feedback practical)

Course Details

A personality questionnaire is a means of obtaining information about a broad range of relevant personality characteristics quickly and objectively. It provides information which could be gained from other sources such as interviews, observation or simulation exercises, but the benefit of personality questionnaires is that the data is captured in a structured, standardised way, relatively quickly and very effectively.
