Introduction

Thank you for completing the Personality MAP™. Before we move to the results section, here's a short background that will help you interpret the results with the right perspective.

Personality tests measure traits based on your answers to a highly researched set of questions, chosen primarily due to their high correlation with the underlying attribute. Just as there are no right or wrong answers to the questions you attempted, there is no 'Ideal profile' either.

Consider this test as a structured manner of introspection. If you have provided honest and credible answers during the test, this report should act like a mirror, showing you multiple dimensions within your personality.

Use it to know your strengths, weaknesses and your behavior patterns better. But don't expect any secrets. In fact, if you see an inference across any attribute that isn't truly reflective of who you are, then it would be safe to assume that your gut-feel is right, not the report.

Our personality test is a broad-bandwidth (20-attribute) instrument that has been created based on the conventional wisdom and the personality inventories available in the public domain. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, it builds upon the widely accepted conceptual models for measuring personality traits - such as Cattell's 16 Personality Factors, the Big 5, ORVIS - developed and refined over many decades by eminent psychologists.

However, the Personality MAP™ is not affiliated with, nor does it use any proprietary items or processing logic associated with, any of the commercial tools available in the market.

Personality MAP methodology

Your well-rounded personality requires a well-rounded measuring methodology. We assume that your personality is multi-layered, with overlaps across some layers. At the very basic level, we segregate it into six major dimensions - Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Receptivity and Professionalism. We then break it into further attributes that are distinct enough to deserve special attention and independent measurement. Don't get intimidated by the heavy sounding words as we'll dig deeper into each attribute soon.

Personality Test

The basic idea here is to identify the key traits within your personality that can be considered, in isolation as well as in conjunction with each other, to form a better perception of who you are. Alright, let's get into the data now to see how that theory maps into some tangible statistics.


Here's what your Personality MAP™ looks like

The main traits of your personality are covered in the 20 attributes listed below. Based on your responses, each trait has been assigned a score ranging from 1 to 10. Ratings closer to the center indicate a balanced trait, while those away from it highlight a pre-disposition to one of the extreme qualities.

FAQ

Q. How can I use this report in my personal life?
A. The report is just a preliminary tool to trigger introspection. As the next step, you could evaluate if the contents of the report are intuitively in sync with your perception - about your strengths, your weakness, your behavior. Use it as a mirror to improve yourself. You can also use it to become aware of how others might try to exploit your shortcomings to their own advantage. Keep in mind that your personality traits will change over time. So this report does have a shelf-life too. Re-take the test in a few years to see what has changed.

Q. How can I use this knowledge in my professional life?
A. A majority of the top companies use personality tests as an additional data point (apart from technical skills, qualifications and overall experience) to decide if a candidate is a good fit for the position. You already know about the information you gave them in the resume and the interview. With this report, you also have an insight into the third mysterious black-box. Use it to target the right roles where your personality as well as your professional goals fit well.

Q. Is this report foolproof?
A. No, it isn't. Primarily because there's too much subjectivity involved in gathering, processing and presenting the data. We are trying to take a bunch of intangible attributes and forcing them into a tangible form, purely to reduce the complexity involved in the process of understanding the human personality. So be aware of its limitations and use it purely as an extra data point that provides a relatively neutral, third-party perspective.

Q. Can I share the report with my employer or educational institution?
A. Due to the limitations mentioned earlier, this report is meant purely for your own consumption. Use it for your self-awareness. The utility of this report would quite limited / negligible to external entities who haven't provided us with any framework or methodology to work with. They probably have their own internal process to get a similar report. But here's the good news. When you go through their recruiting process, you'll be better prepared!
