Predictive survey index test tips

Answer 1

Pick the words that describe you on page 1. Pick the words others would describe you as on page 2.

There's no right or wrong as it's a personality test, much like being a A type personality or a B type personality the test simply gives some insight into how you may tend to look at certain problems or react to certain people. All indications are that the test works, within those limits.

Some companies give far too much weight to these types of surveys. Some even panic about pairing different personality types. In my humble opinion a manager should be able handle any personality type working for him or her, laterally and upwards. I personally could care less about the results of the test (yes I've taken it) and care far more about those somewhat more important things, for instance, honesty and willingness to work hard. I trust my internal BS detector more than a test result.

You may want to consider the ramifications of working for a company that is unsure enough of their managements ability to need to take these types surveys -too- seriously. It's one small tool only and should be treated accordingly.
