Apollo in Career Planning & Self-development
A well-validated and yet economically priced online personality test supported by registered psychologists in Asia.
Taking responsibility for one's own career requires an objective assessment of how you shape up at this point of time. By comparing personal scores against those of other successful people, guidance can be obtained as to how to modify behaviour to improve career prospects. You are able to benchmark yourself against executives, or middle managers / supervisors, or salespeople, or customer service/support staff.
The Apollo Profile provides career guidance in a generally objective and supportive way and points to possible training and development needs. The report is written in easy to understand language appropriate to the level of report requested.
Note that the benefit of Apollo over every other personality questionnaire on the market is that with all other assessments your scores on various aspects of personality will be compared with either the average person or within your self (self-referencing). However, with Apollo your scores will be compared with the database of the most successful (NOT average!) people.
Exception Report
Apollo's exception report is based on a comparison of the test candidate with others in their group (i.e., sales, executives, general workforce). Apollo compares the candidate's profile with those rated as excellent in these areas and highlights exceptions in an easy to understand way.
Job Profiler Report
Test your candidates and then compare all of them against excellence in the role under consideration. SImple to set up and understand. Simply click on any candidate's name to go through to a summary report on that candidate.
Narrative Report
The Narrative Report uses colour coding to show at a glance how the test candidate's personality compares to others rated as excellent in their group. In addition, explanatory text written by a psychometrician and management consultant is provided to ensure understanding.
Candidate Feedback Report
Show your interest in people development by providing this report to successful or unsuccessful hires - there's no additional cost as with Apollo, you simply pay once per candidate. This report explains the candidate's personality profile and offers advice for possible development.
Development Report
This is a longer version of the Candidate Feedback Report above. Additional background data and analysis is provided. Again, this can be given to both successful and unsuccessful applicants for jobs or used more systematically as part of a full training needs and organisational development program.
Summary Report
The summary personality report provides a comparison of your candidate with those rated as excellent in the comparison group you have chosen. A brief interpretation of each of the scales is also provided for your candidate.
Areas of Concern Report
This is similar to the Exception Report, but adds detail. Rather than using only the simple colour coding found in the Exception Report, the Areas of Concern report shows where the candidate scored compared to excellence in the group and breaks the report into essential, desirable characteristics for the area under consideration.
Apollo Benchmarking
The benchmarking report shows each of the 34 Apollo Personality Test scale scores for your candidate against the comparison group. As a consultancy service, we can assist organisations with their own full scale benchmarking studies which generate comparison groups for future recruitment/selection and development projects.
Apollo Personality reports can be read directly from the website, downloaded in pdf for easy viewing or downloaded as a word (doc) file to enable fast editing as required.
