The Assessments
and Reports
There are four Care Advantage Assessments:
Personality/Job Fit
Attitude
Cognitive Ability
Engagement
You choose which ones to use
The assessments are completed online, mobile-friendly and set at age 12 reading level. The results provide a more complete picture of your candidate’s personal attributes and soft skills, before you decide.
Each assessment takes approximately 7 minutes to complete.
Most clients only use the Personality and Attitudes assessments for frontline roles.
The Personality Questionnaire is based on the well-accepted Five-Factor model of core personality traits:
- Work Style –
Conscientious vs. Carefree - Demeanour –
Likeable vs. Tough-Minded - Rule-Abiding –
Unconventional vs. Rules Orientated

Extroverted vs. Introverted - Resilience –
Stable vs. Sensitive

The predictive power of
benchmarking
The real value of the Personality assessment
The predictive power of benchmarking lies in the ability to compare your applicants to recognised high performers in the same role.
Our system benchmarks are carefully created by a team of occupational psychologists ready for you to use.
Develop your own benchmark
We can help identify attributes important to your organisation and apply these in a custom benchmark. Compare applicants against your top performers.
Once a candidate is in the platform they can be compared against any available benchmark. This is useful for promotions, lateral moves and other career changes.
