# An Introduction to Clevry Personality Questionnaires

## Find out more about the CPQ here!

The **Clevry Personality Questionnaire** is unlike anything else on the market. We don’t subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to personality; the CPQ offers unparalleled flexibility by allowing you to pick and choose the elements you want to measure.

The CPQ is made up of 46 scales split across five key areas of personality at work. These elements are:

**Interpersonal Style** – The candidate’s approach to working with others, taps into their style of communication and preferences for working around others

**Thinking Style** – The candidate’s approach to tasks, decisions and challenges

**Emotional Style** – The candidate’s reaction to the emotional demands of the role

**Motivations** – Understanding what drives the candidate and helps them to feel energised and motivated at work

**Culture Fit** – Understanding the style of environment that is best suited to the candidate
