Comprehensive Personality Profile® (CPP®)

Personality Testing to Maximize Person/Job Fit.

Description

The CPP is a personality test used in employment screening and team building. It helps you hire, manage and motivate people for positions requiring significant client interaction such as customer service, telemarketing and sales.

When used as a sales test, it generates special reports that discuss sales style and effective sales management techniques. The CPP assigns a general personality type to each job candidate.

Content

The CPP report describes a candidate's personality in terms of workplace strengths and weaknesses. The selection report is used in hiring decisions and matches personality with position requirements to help optimize person/job fit. CPP management reports suggest job structures and tools for employee motivation to increase individual productivity.

The CPP helps measure seven Primary Personality Traits:

  • Emotional Intensity
  • Intuition
  • Recognition Motivation
  • Sensitivity
  • Assertiveness
  • Trust
  • Exaggeration

A Summary Profile identifies candidates as one of four common personality types; Driver, Supporter, Thinker or Motivator.

Other personal characteristics measured by the CPP include: decisiveness, drive toward immediate results, energy level, people skills, sales potential, goal orientation, ability to perceive buyers' needs, ability to close the sale, desire to provide after-the-sale service, desire to conform to management objectives, and tolerance for staying at one work station.

Purpose

The CPP is used in employment screening to help assess job fit and develop targeted interview questions. The CPP is also used with existing employees to help improve communication, identify motivational tools and build effective teams.
