Big Five personality test: for objective selection and talent development
The Big Five personality test measures personality in a work context in a reliable and objective way. This internationally recognised test is the HR standard for selection and development and assesses five core dimensions: extraversion, agreeableness, emotional stability, conscientiousness and openness. It provides a complete picture of behavioural preferences and work style, creating a shared language for recruiters and HR professionals to better match candidates with roles, teams, managers and organisational culture.
Two versions
TalentTester offers the Big Five personality test in two versions:
- NEO TT – the classic Big Five personality test, supplemented with a work-oriented interpretation that directly links scores to behaviour in a professional context.
- HEXACO TT – an extended version that, in addition to the five basic dimensions, also measures integrity/honesty (Honesty–Humility).
Both versions are powerful tools that provide deep insight into personality and workplace behaviour. Our scientifically based reports enable targeted development of the traits that are essential for job and culture fit. The scores are directly translated into work behaviour, collaboration and performance.
