PERSONALITY TESTS

ADS uses various self-assessment personality questionnaires which measure critical personality competencies that are important in being effective in a job and in managing and interacting with others successfully. Some of the dimensions measured are:
interpersonal style, e.g. people-orientation and assertiveness
conflict handling
self-discipline
emotional stability and stress management
convention following
team orientation
influencing and leadership style

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

ADS makes use of an Emotional Intelligence questionnaire that assesses factors such as Self Confidence, Self Control, Conscientiousness, Achievement Drive, Initiative, Persistence, Empathy, Team Work, Service Orientation, Influence and Leadership.

Emotional intelligence has been identified as a critically important competence in effective leadership - the work of Goleman, Salovey, Meyer and Caruso has been used in defining the constructs measured in this questionnaire. Candidates are required to rate themselves as they are now and also to indicate dimensions that they would like to develop in the future, which is discussed in the interview to assist in clarifying their personal development needs.

This questionnaire can also be used for 360 degree assessments of a candidate by colleagues, subordinates and managers in their organisation.
