Unlocking the Real Power of Personality Assessment - The Expert Interpretation

October 5, 2024

Personality profiles are inherently complex tools that require professional expertise to interpret correctly. While they may seem straightforward on the surface, there are many nuances and layers of analysis that the average person isn’t expected to understand.

I have been interpreting personality assessments for 25 years including 17 years of accreditation with Facet5.  I have debriefed many thousands of profiles, but it’s my work experience both in an organisational and clinical setting and hearing thousands of people talk about their own profiles, that has enabled me to give clients exceptional value.  

Interpreting these reports without training and experience leads to the risk of inaccurate conclusions and unhelpful labelling, bringing bias into the process and ultimately leading to poor decisions about your people.  This can negatively impact your team’s performance.  Without a skilled interpreter you are also missing out on accessing a wealth of information that goes well beyond what’s in the report.

For the sake of alleviating the stress from hiring errors and the nightmare of managing underperformance, isn’t it worth unlocking this door and taking a look inside?
