The JobBank Personality Profile Assessment

The JobBank Personality Profile Assessment was created by Dr. Leahcim T. Semaj, PhD, to determine Psychological Type, Issues Motivating the Individual and Methods of Coping with Conflicts.

Psychological Type

Psychological Type refers to a system for understanding human behaviour that is based upon the belief that every person has one type that most accurately describes him or her. Each type has its own inherent strengths and potential weaknesses and there are no better or worse types.

The popular use of Type goes back as far as the early 1900s and is largely the result of work done by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung and Americans Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs-Myers. Personality Type identifies important natural predispositions and tendencies. By measuring how people perceive, and judge the world around them, we can reliably type people as extroverted, introverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and perceiving or judging.

Personality Type refers to a system for understanding human behaviour. There are 16 distinctly different types and every person has one type which most accurately describes him or her.

Personality Type is determined by:

  • How the individual interacts with the world and where the individual directs his/her energy
  • The kind of information the individual naturally notices and remembers
  • How the individual make judgements or decisions about information
  • How the individual deals with the outer world

Issues Motivating the Individual

People are motivated by the things that provide a sense of personal satisfaction and competence.

Methods of Coping with Conflict

Based on our past experiences we all adopt a style for handling conflict.

The JobBank Personality Profile Assessment enables us to:

  • Determine the suitability of job applicants
  • Help people guide their future development
  • Determine predisposition to give quality service
  • Diagnose conflict areas in organizations
  • Provide advice and career counselling

Upon completing The JobBank Personality Profile Assessment, a personal report is provided outlining the person’s:

  • Psychological type and the strengths and weaknesses of that particular type
  • Career options that the type is usually best suited for are also identified
  • Preferred Conflict Resolution Styles
  • Needs – Management, Boss-Subordinate and Task Factor
  • Interpersonal Modifiers

Creating a Template

The JobBank Personality Profile Assessment allows the employer to identify the critical traits and attribute factors for overall successful performance in a given position and allows for the creation of an ‘IDEAL’ template.

  • The assessment is not timed. The average completion time is 45 minutes.
