1. What are psychological styles?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The psychological styles assessment test allows you to get an initial psychological profiling of candidates and employees.<\/p>\n

The test costs 5 credits and allows to cross 14 personality dimensions (emotional instability, independence, etc.) with the seniority, role, gender and education level of the examinees, investigating the adaptability to a certain profession or business context with a high degree of accuracy.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a study on a heterogeneous sample of 100,000 candidates, in collaboration with Universit\u00e0 Cattolica of Milan, the test has defined 14 personality models within which the person can be placed.<\/p>\n<\/div>
