Overview
A Big Five Personality Assessment for Hiring, Leadership Development, and Coaching: Theory, Reliability, Validity, and Interpretation
Hire smarter. Develop stronger leaders. Measure the personality that actually shapes careers.Most personality tests ask people who they think they are. But at work, what decides who gets hired, trusted, promoted, or passed over is reputation: how dependable, composed, cooperative, ambitious, and honest a person appears to the people they work with.
The Workplace Reputation Inventory (WRI) is a 180-item personality assessment built on the Big Five (five-factor model) and the proven themes of getting along and getting ahead.
