What’s a test?

We primarily associate ”test” with teaching methods and control of learning, but what’s a test when it comes to assessments?

In short, testing is a common method for evaluating an individual’s various characteristics. Some tests measure specific knowledge, abilities, or skills, while others measure broader individual differences such as personality traits, logical problem-solving ability, and values. Even though we tend to call them tests, it’s more of an assessment. Forget about the test we all experienced in school. Our tests provide an opportunity to learn more about an individual’s unique characteristics, rather than something that is right or wrong.

evali offers a personality assessment and a logical reasoning assessment. The personality assessment measures a person’s characteristics and preferred behavioral patterns. The logical assessment measures an individual’s ability to handle complex situations.

Why are tests used?

Testing is primarily used to identify an individual’s strengths as well as areas in need of development. Therefore, it’s commonly used in recruitment, coaching, and onboarding. Tests increase the objectivity and fairness of the process, they also provide more accurate results and are more effective than other methods. The results are usually used together with other important data-points for a more complete understanding of a person.

We hope you find the test interesting and the feedback, based on your answers, useful!

What’s the science behind the test?

We hope you liked the read on what’s a test. Do you want to learn more about the science behind? Evali combines two personality models. First, it’s the well-established Five-Factor model. Second, we also use The Hexaco Model. Both models rest on a solid foundation of science. In short, the two models overlap each other, but the hexaco model also allows for measuring a sixth factor – characteristics connected to integrity. Through integrity, you can, among other things, predict team-oriented behaviors and healthy leadership.
