highmatch personality asssessment
Assertiveness is the natural tendency to take action or control in most situations.
Understanding whether a candidate leans more reserved or more aggressive is critical to understanding how quickly they are likely to take action and how well they interact with others.
Personality assessments helps employers by measuring assertiveness of prospective candidates so they understand where on the spectrum a candidate falls, and what impact this is likely to have on their ability to succeed in the role.
Our Assess solution can help you identify critical skills related to assertiveness, or if you are interested in testing specifically for assertiveness, our Create solution can do that for you.
HighMatch creates custom job profiles which identify the personality traits, cognitive abilities and the skills required for success in the role and at your company.

Reserved: Candidates lower in assertiveness are less confident in their actions and tend to make decisions slowly. When faced with obstacles, they tend to stop and assess their options. They typically desire input or direction from others.
Aggressive: Candidates higher in assertiveness are more likely to move forward, take action, and deal with problems. They tend to be decisive and direct when dealing with others. At extremes, they may seem confrontational or stubborn.
HighMatch’s Assess solution helps determine what levels of assertiveness are critical for success by looking at the characteristics of top performers and finding commonalities.

HighMatch measures Assertiveness, among six other personality traits, as part of the personality assessment provided through our Assess solution.
Our workplace psychologists conduct a benchmark study to understand what qualities are most critical for the role, analyze the qualities that top performers share, and then develop a customized Job Profile that includes personality traits, abilities, and skills.
That Job Profile is used to develop the scoring and weighting mechanism for the assessment, helping to identify whether the person is a high, medium, or low fit for the job.
