ITB-PESA

Personality Structure Assessment – career-related personality test

ITB-PESA for different target groups and questions

ITB-PESA records personality dimensions that are relevant for professional success. This makes ITB-PESA suitable for personnel selection and, in particular, for personnel development. In addition, the personality traits recorded are based on scientific findings in psychology on the one hand and on company competency models on the other.
The test questions that respondents answer relate exclusively to job requirements and are formulated in a practical and understandable way.

ITB-PESA is available as an online assessment
in several versions:

ITB-PESA lead for leaders
ITB-PESA perform for experts and young professionals
ITB-PESA sell for sales stuff
ITB-PESA starter for career starters and trainees
ITB-PESA integrity especially for recording integrity

We also offer to customise ITB-PESA specifically to your company's competency model and your requirements.

ITB-PESA as an instrument for personnel selection

If ITB-PESA is used in the context of personnel selection, questions for a selection interview can be automatically derived from the individual results of an applicant. Accordingly, you can validate the results with the help of this ITB-PESA interview and go into more detail on individual personality areas.

More than just a personality test - ITB-PESA in personnel development

With the various versions of the ITB-PESA, we offer job-related personality tests for specialists and leaders that are ideal for use in personnel development. Based on the results of the ITB-PESA, we conduct counselling sessions, for example as part of development centres. This offer supports participants in self-reflection and deriving personal development goals.

ITB-PESA is scientifically based!

objective - reliable - valid

We have developed ITB-PESA on the basis of the latest scientific findings in personality psychology.

The ITB-PESA procedure is based on the HEXACO model of personality – currently the most up-to-date model, which is a further development of the well-known ‘Big Five model’ and therefore goes beyond the classic Big Five personality tests. In addition, findings on the prediction of career success and job satisfaction as well as on the correlation between personality traits, competences, contextual factors (e.g. occupational groups, activities) and career success have been incorporated into the development.

Valid profiles instead of global type formation

With ITB-PESA, we can draw a personality profile based on various relevant trait dimensions. However, there is no allocation to types or categories that do not do justice to the complexity of the individual.

Scientific studies also confirm the predictive power of ITB-PESA for career success and job satisfaction.

Reporting: ITB-PESA-test results

Differentiated and appreciatively formulated results reports

The characteristics of each personality dimension and their respective significance for everyday working life are explained in a detailed report. In addition, the person taking the test is given a graphical overview of their individual personality test scores. We also supplement the reports with information on possible development measures. As appreciation is important to us, this is also expressed in the feedback.

In general, the personal feedback helps the employee to better assess themselves and recognise their own potential. As a result, the results help you to promote your employees in a targeted manner, assess their suitability for a specific position and place them in the right job.
