and is divided into 3 sections.

SECTION I

If you are hiring a salesperson, this Section can be extremely valuable to you. We asked a variety of Sales Managers from different industries what information they would need before making a hiring decision. The 16 questions in Section I are the result. Directed at salespeople some examples are “Describe the way you use the telephone” and “Describe the sales compensation you prefer”.

SECTION II

Section II is designed to measure innate personality traits. It reports on ten basic traits: ORGANIZATION, SENSITIVITY, IMAGINATION, FLEXIBILITY, RECOGNITION, TENSION, PROBING LEVEL, SOCIAL NEED, ASSERTIVENESS, and COMPETITIVENESS. One of the unique benefits of Personality Plus® is the ability to utilize Patterns. Patterns are guides created for job positions which can be used to compare applicant’s scores to the job requirements. A special routine allows you to create Patterns based on your current employee's scores or requirements for the position. These are the most effective since they are custom designed for your company.

SECTION III:

Section III was created after several managers requested we furnish some type of questions to use during the face-to-face interview. It was so successful it was decided to make it a part of the actual booklet. The applicant hand writes his/her responses to questions like “List your three primary goals” or “Tell us about the best job you ever had”. Managers then use the responses with the candidate during the face-to-face interview.
