Introduction To Personality Assessment

Introduction To Personality Assessment

Mettl Personality Profiler (MPP) is an innovative, evidence-based assessment, that measures relevant personality traits required for critical work. It links to behavioural competencies, which in turn, lead to organisational outcomes of interest. It is designed to help employers gain access to otherwise hidden information about a job applicant or an employee, that is critical in influencing her/his behaviour at work.

Pre-Employment Personality Testing Background & Theory

The Mettl Personality Profiler is inspired by the well-established “Big Five” model of personality traits. It specifies that people can be described based on their standing on five broad personality traits.

At Mettl, our scientists stepped beyond the broad “Big Five” personality factors to develop 26 ‘scales' or narrower facet-like constructs, which form the building blocks of the assessment.

The “Big Five” personality traits have shown to predict important job-related outcomes such as job performance, a person's potential for burnout, their trainability and subsequent job satisfaction. These five factors are:

  • Openness to Experience

    (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious)

  • Conscientiousness

    (efficient/organized vs. easy-going/careless)

  • Extraversion

    (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved)

  • Agreeableness

    (friendly/compassionate vs. cold/unkind)

  • Neuroticism

    (secure/confident vs. sensitive/nervous)


Format of the Assessment

Mettl Personality Profiler consists of 86 (5 point Semantic scale) items across the "Big Five" personality factors. Semantic differential item format is used to reduce the problem of respondents ‘faking good' and thereby improves the assessment's usefulness.

Customizability - The tool can be mapped to any job role using the Mettl Competency Framework (MCF) or to any organization specific competency framework.

It is built in a way that allows users (client companies) to customize its configuration and scoring to fit their specific needs. Using the client's inputs to determine what behavioural or performance competencies are most critical for success in their contexts.

The MPP scales are mapped to these critical competencies. The standard report shows scores of a person on eight critical work relevant competencies and 17 sub-competencies.

Adverse Impact

The tool is tested for adverse impact in terms of age, gender and ethnicity, for which mean group differences for the MPP are examined. The mean group difference is negligible among ethnic, age and gender groups.
