Aims and objectives
This popular one-day masterclass is designed for people experienced in using personality questionnaires other than the NEO PI-3, with the concept and scales underlying this five factor tool. The NEO PI-3 is internationally recognised as the ‘gold standard’ instrument with which to measure personality. It can be used across a broad range of occupations and is particularly suited for middle to senior management assessments where a comprehensive description of temperament and behavioural style is required for informed selection, internal promotion and individual development decisions.
On successful completion of the course, delegates are certified to purchase and use the NEO family of tests.
About the NEO Personality Inventory
The NEO PI-3 is a detailed measure of business-related personality traits describing personality across five broad domains and thirty underlying facets. The 240-item questionnaire is available in an online format, where users can access the results as an automatically-produced, detailed narrative report. A paper and pencil version NEO PI-3 is available.
The high amount of detail gained from the questionnaire provides a platform for substantial investigation into an individual’s behavioural style and temperament. The five broad domains measured are Extraversion; Negative Emotion; Openness to Experience; Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. The five-factor model delivers informed data applicable to working style, leadership style, team style, training needs, conflict resolution, decision-making style and stress management.

In order to gain certification, delegates must complete written and practical coursework. This includes assessment of the delegate’s performance on practical areas, such as:
- How the test administration was carried out, such as provision of instructions.
- Carrying out the verbal feedback to the candidate and how information from the NEO test was linked to this feedback.
