PAPI

PAPI (Personality and Preference Inventory) is a leading work related personality assessment used by HR professionals and line managers to evaluate the behaviour and preferred work styles of individuals operating at all levels.
Through an interactive online questionnaire, PAPI maps out an individuals personality, providing valuable information about their preferences and typical behaviour at work. This allows HR professionals to assess whether an individual has the qualities needed to be successful in a role, a team, or a business culture and enables areas for development to be identified. Used by HR professionals for over forty years, PAPI is a scientifically proven assessment that helps facilitate in depth dialogue. Through a concise, yet thorough questionnaire that can be answered in around 15 minutes, PAPI explores twenty personality dimensions. These are clustered into seven key areas; active dominance, agreeableness, conscientious persistence, openness to experience, seeking to achieve, sociability and work tempo. PAPI assessments are available with an Additionally, the profiles of team members can be overlaid on a single PAPI wheel to highlight the strengths and limitations of the team, identify how team members interact with one another and where gaps can be closed to enhance team performance. This creates the opportunity for a frank and open discussion as the interviewer explores the results of the assessment.

Pinpoint Development Priorities

PAPI can also play a key role in staff development initiatives, helping assess the work style and behaviour of an individual. PAPI profiles are presented visually in the form of a PAPI wheel diagram, making it easy to pinpoint where an individual may struggle and discuss what action can be taken to alleviate this.
