Personality Style at Work Assessment Derek T. Y. Mann, Ph.D. Assessment, 10–15 minutes to take Personality Style at Work (PSAW) is HRDQ’s latest and most statistically accurate assessment. It’s a simple, but highly effective tool with all the statistical rigor and validity you expect to come with HRDQ. Extending beyond the mere measurement of style, the PSAW assessment tool measures both the core behaviors that make-up an individual’s style and the lens through which they choose to navigate their world. At the foundation of each style—Direct, Considerate, Spirited, and Systematic—is a set of three drivers that guide our actions, decisions, and general life approach. Delving even deeper into the framework of personality is a look at the lens of expressiveness and assertiveness—the learned behaviors that we use as a means of coping with the demands and expectations placed upon us and which help to explain how we can appear to have one personality at work and another in our personal life. Personality Style at Work assessment takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Individuals respond to 94 different items designed to help them identify their behavioral preferences, shedding light on how they react to and interact with the world around them. Most statements ask them to respond by indicating the frequency with which they approach, think about, or act in the way described. Each response is scored and used to generate a detailed, highly personalized feedback report called the Core Profile. The report identifies an individual’s primary personality style including its core preferences and behaviors, the degree to which they practice each of the three drivers associated with their style and the role assertiveness and expressiveness plays in the effectiveness of their style. The report also offers are numerous tips and techniques for building rapport, and optimizing relationships and interactions with other styles. The report concludes with a section on using the information in PSAW to create a personal action and development plan.

Lacking the complicated code at the basis of other personality-focused assessments, PSAW’S simplistic language and presentation make it easy for participants to retain the knowledge of their style and to use that knowledge to better understand their strengths and to highlight and pinpoint areas for development. Personality Style at Work is, at its core, a developmental tool and is suitable for anyone interested in understanding how their behaviors affect their own performance and interactions with others. As such it has applications in leadership development, management and supervisory training, team culture, team building, communication, and career development.
