Attention Skills Test (AST)

A four-test subset of the MRAB Battery, the AST measures a person's concentration and ability to sustain focus on one or more tasks while avoiding distractions.

Employment Personality Tests

Personality tests, sometimes called behavioral tests, assess a person's behavioral traits and tendencies, and provide valuable information on a candidate's likely job and culture fit. They also measure traits that have been shown to be linked to performance in a range of occupations, and often provide benchmarks for predicting suitability for a particular position.

Sales Achievement Predictor (SalesAP)

A sales personality test that measures traits that have been shown to be critical to success in sales and sales-related jobs, including motivation, competitiveness, extroversion, goal orientation, and assertiveness. The SalesAP provides an overall recommendation on a candidate's suitability for sales positions.

Customer Service Aptitude Profile (CSAP)

The companion test to the SalesAP, the CSAP is a customer service test that measures personality traits that are important for customer service and related positions. The CSAP provides an overall recommendation on a candidate's suitability for customer service-related positions, based on traits such as cooperativeness, personal diplomacy, patience, and more.

Employee Personality Profile (EPP)

The Employee Personality Profile is a general personality inventory that measures twelve personality traits that provide valuable insights into a person's work style and behavior. It can be used for any position, and contains position-specific benchmarks that allow administrators to compare an individual's scores against composite profiles to determine likely job fit. The EPP takes about 15 minutes to complete, and measures the following traits: Achievement, Assertiveness, Competitiveness, Conscientiousness, Cooperativeness, Extroversion, Managerial, Motivation, Openness, Patience, Self-Confidence, and Stability.
