FiT In reports

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 typical white collar jobs.

The “Big Five” personality model has become 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 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 is 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 test taker and allows for a more objective comparison between individuals. The FiT In™ test was developed specifically for HR use, which clearly differentiates it from most 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.
