FiT In™ is an advanced psychometric test combining
best practices of psychometrics with the requirements of modern
corporations. FiT In™ combines the “Big Five”
robust psychological model with thorough profiling of the
typical white collar jobs.
The “Big Five” personality model became widely
accepted and acknowledged as the common framework for personality
research since the 1990s, and it is the leading personality
theory today. Many of the currently published Organizational
Behavior textbooks already use the “Big 5” terminology
to illustrate personality issues at work. FiT In™ utilizes
26 facets of the "Big Five" to create sophisticated
profiles.
The FiT In™ test was developed in Shanghai, China,
and it's localized as much as it's possible to meet Chinese
conditions. Personality testing faces special challenges in
China, because Chinese culture is less tolerant towards differences
and people attach stronger value judgments to such differences
than in the West. This is the main reason for choosing the
forced-choice questionnaire format of FiT In™. The questionnaire
passed a thorough validation process and also validated by
the hiring success of clients.
FiT In™ measures the differences between item responses
of individuals, and analyzes these differences with the purpose
of predicting behavior in work situations. This personality
analysis provides HR professionals with insights into the
personality of the Testee and allows more objective comparison
between individuals. The FiT In™ test was developed
specifically for HR use, which clearly differentiates it from
most of other personality instruments. The inventory items and descriptions
are all focused on providing accurate employee profiles, which
can be utilized for predicting long-term job performance.
FiT In™ comes with a comprehensive User Manual, Test Administrator Training and a Job Profile booklet containing ideal target profiles for the most typical corporate jobs.
