The awareness of personality testing in the American marketplace is on the rise. I had a chance to speak with some of our competitors in the personality testing space and they all agree, companies are starting to see the importance of putting people in positions that fit who they are.
Here in the Netherlands, personality testing for use in selection (hiring), performance review, coaching, and training has been established for over 2 decades. Our tests and the Octogram model have been tried and proven in an experienced market where clients have enough experience to tell the difference between “Okay” and “Outstanding”. That is why OTM is used by over 100 professional psychologists, selection bureaus, career coaches, and training bureaus.
Based on the contacts we made at the HR Technology Conference, we will start embedding our personality tests into other HR SAAS products throughout the 4th quarter of this year. Be sure to ask your provider if they provide access to the personality power of OTM and the Competing Values Framework.
