Employer Assessment Tests

Personality assessments provide useful insight for ourselves and others. Individual insights provide a means to learn more about ourselves, including our strengths and weaknesses, potential blind spots, and how we perceive others and our surroundings. Increasing our understanding of these systems and tools can also help us develop leadership skills and improve team communication and collaboration.

Research shows successful people share a common trait of self-awareness and an awareness of those around them.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Romans 12:6-8 NLT

Emotional Intelligence is all about understanding and managing yourself and also understanding and managing others. It is based on an internal loop that begins with awareness of our own emotions and temperament. It continues on through self-understanding and moves towards discipline and management of the self. It then repeats these steps by connecting to the emotions of others to build more effective relationships.

Emotional Intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, respond and act. It is based on two competencies, measured as Recognition and Management:

• the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions (self or intrapersonal)
• the ability to recognize, empathize, and relate appropriately to the emotions of others (social or interpersonal)
