After completing the TalenX Personality Inventory, you will be directed to your own login page where you can view your personality profile. At this point, you have completed your application. Congrats!

At this point, the next steps will depend on the employer. TalenX is a third party provider, we only help the employer assess candidates on his/her level of fit to the role. We do not make the hiring or interview decisions. If you have any questions about what comes next after completing your application, please contact the company that you applied to.

According to research, Quasi-Ipsative is a new generation of test taking formats that combine both normative and ipsative formats. It’s been found to best forecast behaviours at work.

Normative and Ipsative formats are common test formats, both containing strengths and weaknesses. However, by combining both formats, it controls for each other’s weaknesses, while building on each other’s strengths.

TalenX Personality Inventory (TPI) was created to better understand what people truly prioritize in terms of his/her behaviour. However, there may be times during the survey you need to select options that are “Most” or “Least” like you, and yet none of them or all of them seem to fit you.

This is considered a very normal reaction. However, the survey is also forced-choice (e.g. forces you to choose between equally desirable options). Therefore, to complete the survey you must select options that are “Most” or “Least” like you.

Research has shown that if people are able to say everything good is “Most” like them, or everything considered bad is “Least” like them, we would not be able to get a very accurate depiction of the type of person he/she is.

This is on purpose. The TalenX Personality Inventory (TPI) has a forced choice format.

Sometimes, you will be presented a page with a short list of questions where you are required to select (click) ONE statement that is most like you, and ONE option that is least like you.

The TalenX Personality Inventory adopts a dynamic test taking format that will dynamically alternate between two test-taking formats as described below:

1. Free Choice. You will be presented with several statements, each asking you about a specific behaviour displayed at work (e.g. “I like to be friends with others at work”). After reading each statement, you will be asked to indicate your level of agreement to the statement from “Very Strongly Disagree” to “Very Strongly Agree”.
2. Priority and Preference Choice. Sometimes, you will be presented a page with a short list of questions where you are required to select (click) ONE statement that is most like you, and ONE option that is least like you.

The TalenX Personality Inventory is dynamic, with our systems understanding your responses and calibrating your profile based on previous responses.

There will be some instances where you can change your previous responses by clicking the Left Arrow at the bottom of the window.

However, once you click the Right Arrow at the bottom of your window, you will no longer be able to change your previous responses from that point.

We recommend that you provide responses to each statement that best reflects how you feel currently, not that what others think of you or who you want. In addition, provide responses to each statement quickly without over thinking about each statement.

Firstly, there is no such thing as the “best personality”. Personality is defined as a set of behaviours, cognitions and emotional patterns the guide how one would react/behave across situations. In light of this, every job and organisation would value different characteristics of personality due to the nature of the business or the working style of the company. Therefore, it is to your advantage to answer the questions within the TalenX Personality Inventory (TPI) in an honest and genuine manner as you would not know what exactly the company is looking for in a candidate. Trying to change your responses would only put you in a disadvantage.

Aside from answering the TPI in an honest and genuine manner, there are a few other tips you can do get the best results:

• Use a device with a large screen (e.g. laptop) so you can clearly read the questions.
• Take your time when completing the TPI. The assessment is not timed, so there is no need to rush.
• Make sure you had a good night sleep, have eaten recently, and are in a quiet environment without distractions or interruptions.
• Close all social media or social messaging apps to avoid interruptions.

TalenX incorporates a Quasi-Ipsative test-taking format. This helps ensure that individuals taking the TalenX Personality Inventory cannot produce favourable images of themselves to the hiring manager, and instead are forced to express him/herself in a true light.
