Unearth your workplace strengths, strategise your career development, and enhance your workplace success

The Work Personality Index (WPI) is a specialised personality assessment that provides valuable insights into workplace personality traits. It helps you make informed decisions about your career development, identify growth opportunities, and take meaningful steps to achieve your professional goals. For employers, WPI reports support recruitment and selection, training, succession planning, and leadership development.

The WPI measures 21 personality traits across six key areas including:

Energy and Drive

Work Style
Problem-Solving
Dealing with Pressures and Stress
Identifying & Managing Change

Upon completion, the WPI charts your outcomes using a 1–10 rating scale, comparing your responses to a large sample of working adults. These insights provide actionable guidance for both individuals and employers, enabling confident, strategic career, workplace, and workforce decision-making.

Before administering any psychometric tool, we make sure you meet the age and reading requirements, and that the assessment is suitable for your current circumstances. We operate within our expertise and follow strict duty of care, ethical guidelines, and supplier requirements.

If there’s any uncertainty, we will request medical clearance from your GP or a qualified mental health professional. This ensures we can provide any necessary accommodations, minimise potential triggers, determine if it’s appropriate to proceed, and most importantly, support your wellbeing throughout the process.
