What is an example of a behavioral assessment?
An example of a behavioral assessment is the Mercer | Mettl Personality Map – Forced Choice (MPM-FC). The assessment helps understand how people are likely to behave at work by asking them to choose between statements that all seem equally positive. This makes it harder for the candidate to guess the ‘right’ answer and gives a more honest view of their behavior. The assessment looks at important workplace traits like teamwork, adaptability, and initiative. MPM-FC is useful in hiring, promotions, and employee development, giving a clear and well-rounded picture of each person.
