About Psychometric
Personality Profiling
Psychometric testing is now a fundamental part of
recruitment. Even so, every day more companies are
integrating it as part of their process in getting the right
people for the job. Brunswick is now offering you the chance
to create your own behavioural profile.
A psychometric profile can be an excellent addition to your
CV. Employers will get a better understanding about what
makes you tick and how you behave. You will also understand
what information an employer will be looking at if you are
asked to complete a psychometric test as part of an
application.
There are many forms of psychometric analysis. Brunswick
uses the internationally recognised DISC version.
What does DISC measure?
DISC measures four factors of an individual's behaviour:
Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. They can be
characterised as assertiveness, communication, patience and
structure.
DISC also interprets the relationships between these
factors. For example, a highly Dominant person with a high
level of Influence will behave quite differently to an
equally Dominant individual with a low level of Influence.
The factors combine like this to generate (theoretically)
around one million different profiles.
Using this information, DISC can be used to describe a
person's general working style, their motivations and
dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and some of the basic
assumptions they make about other people. It can also go far
in helping to predict how a person will react or perform in
various circumstances.

However, don't take our word for
it. As you can see from the following quote, psychometric
testing is fast becoming an integral part of the recruitment
process.
"It has been estimated that some 70 per cent of UK
organisations test their workforce either for personality or
ability before making a job offer or conferring a
promotion."
