Personality testing

Identify an individual’s values, strengths and motivation

A personality test that measures “the big five” factors.

Facet5 is a personality testing tool which recruiters can use to identify seafarers’ preferred ways of working.

It can identify an individual’s values, strengths and motivation, and it can predict behaviour that will influence performance.

Facet5 is based on the five factor personality model which is generally considered by psychologists to be the standard for understanding behaviour.

Personality factors

Facet5 test

The Facet5 test consists of a number of statements to which the candidate must react.

The test results cannot be interpreted as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but act as an indicator of a person’s attitudes, opinions and preferences.

In addition to a breakdown of the scores for each factor, each person is given a ‘family portrait’, describing the sum of their personality. Facet5 helps identify attitudes, opinions and preferences, e.g. learning style and ability to work well in teams.

The test is completed online, following the test, each person is given a personality profile that can be evaluated against industry profiles.
