# What Personality Questionnaires do Clevry Offer?

## Clevry's flexible user interface allows you to choose from our standard off-the-shelf questionnaires, role / industry specific questionnaires, or the option to build your own bespoke questionnaire to match your role.

#### You can choose...

1. One of our two off-the-shelf**[Clevry Personality Questionnaires (Core & Enhanced)](https://help.clevry.com/clevry-core-and-enhanced-personality-questionnaires#off-the-shelf),** which are suitable for use across various roles and industries and give you a good breath of understanding your candidates' tendencies and preferences at work. These are great if you would like to use our model-based reports (Team, Sales, Leadership) as they contain all of the relevant scales needed to power the underlying algorithms in these reports.
2. A **[Role/Industry-Specific Personality Questionnaire](https://help.clevry.com/industry-specific-questionnaires?hsLang=en),** created by the Clevry team's experience and expertise working with clients across industries and roles for the past 30+ years
3. <https://help.clevry.com/creating-bespoke-personality-questionnaires?hsLang=en>To<https://help.clevry.com/creating-bespoke-personality-questionnaires?hsLang=en>**[create your own personality questionnaire](https://help.clevry.com/creating-bespoke-personality-questionnaires?hsLang=en)** using a selection of personality scales from our library of [46 scales](https://help.clevry.com/clevry-scales-library-detailed-descriptions?hsLang=en).

**![](https://help.clevry.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-27-2022-11-10-32-87-AM.png?width=645&height=271&name=image-png-Jul-27-2022-11-10-32-87-AM.png)**

### The two off-the-shelf questionnaires were designed to act as our standard questionnaires which ensure compatibility with some of our model-based reports. The Core and Enhanced questionnaires are great tools for those who want a ready made solution to get a good understanding of an individual's tendencies and preferences at work.

### **Clevry Core** Questionnaire  **(21 Scales)**

Comprehensive insight into the typical preferences and tendencies for behaviours, feelings, values and motivations that are important in the workplace. This questionnaire takes about 20 minutes for the candidate to complete. Alongside all of our standard reports, using the Core questionnaire will give you access to the Team Strengths Report and the Sales Report.

| Interpersonal Style | Thinking Style | Emotional Style | Motivations | Culture Fit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Assertive | Rational | Optimistic | Striving | Competition |
| Listening | Decisive | Self-Esteem | Variety | Order |
| Gregarious | Creative | Stress Management | Friendship | Humour |
| Influential | Strategic | Calm | Status | Change |

+ Social Desirability

### **Clevry Enhanced** Questionnaire **(30 Scales)**

Builds on the Clevry Core, offering a deeper insight across a breadth of elements of personality in an occupational setting. This questionnaire will take candidates approximately 30 minutes to complete. The Enhanced questionnaire is compatible with all Clevry profile reports, including our Leadership Report.

| **Interpersonal Style** | **Thinking Style** | **Emotional Style** | **Motivations** | **Culture Fit** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Assertive | Rational | Optimistic | Striving | Competition |
| Listening | Decisive | Self-Esteem | Variety | Order |
| Gregarious | Creative | Stress Management | Friendship | Humour |
| Influential | Strategic | Calm | Status | Change |
| *Poised* | *Rigorous* | *Internal Control* | *Self-Development* | *Profit* |
| *Adaptable* |   | *Resilient* | *Caring* | *Ethics* |

+ Social Desirability

### **Why were these scales chosen?**

- The scales encompass some of the most commonly used and popular scales from our Clevry Personality Questionnaire (CPQ) scales library
- The scale combination is applicable across a wide range of contexts and is not specific to a certain role type or level
- Both questionnaires only use the strongest scales with good reliabilities
- The scales are great for use with the Onboarding report, delivering a profile that gives the individual and manager a good overview of preferences and style at work
- They also work with our off-the-shelf, type-based reports (Team Strengths and Sales reports, as well as the Leadership Reports \[with the Enhanced only\])
- An even number of scales across the five core headings helps to give a well-rounded view of the individual

### **When to use one of these questionnaires:**

- If the role/placement does not fit with any of the industry/role specific questionnaires
- If you want a good, general overview of the candidate’s preferences and tendencies at work
- If you want to use the Sales Strengths, Team or Leadership report
- If you do not have a person specification, competency framework or values framework to work with
- If you are using it solely for development purpose - e.g. helping to build a candidate's self-awareness/offer feedback
- If you’re used to working with other tools such as OPQ or Saville Wave (the headings are similar in these questionnaires, without Motivations or Culture Fit

### **How to use the Core or Enhanced personality questionnaire in your campaign**

The Core and Enhanced questionnaires are assigned to all Clevry accounts by default. If you wish to include this in your campaign, simply select the relevant questionnaire on stage 4 of the campaign builder, from the Clevry Testing Library, under Personality Questionnaires:
