Home | Candidate Insight | What's in the Report
Candidate Insight Reports are designed to be quick and easy to read. Take a look at the different sections of the report, and consider the fact that a lot of these specific results can't be gleaned from traditional personality tests:
Trait Summary
Quickly review the candidates' positive and negatives personality traits. Interviewers can use these keywords to:
- Prepare specific interview questions that address potential issues.
- Protect themselves and the organization from potentially dangerous individuals.
- Identify the best candidates to interview them first.
Emotional Perspective
Emotional perspective is a critical element of personality and plays a major role in how an individual acts and reacts to various situations.
Trait Statements and Color-coded Icons
Insight Statements make up the majority of information found in the Candidate Insight Report. Each of these concise, easy-to-understand sentences describe a key element of the candidate's personality.
Insight Statements work like computer scripts that are automatically executed when certain situations occur. When Written Inc. analyzes a candidate's written body language, we are exposing and reporting on the most dominant scripts, or Insight Statements, found in the individual's personality. The typical report will reveal 10 to 15 Insight Statements.
Color-coded icons make it easy to identify the positive statements from the negatives ones. Below is an explanation of the icons used in the Candidate Insight Report along with examples of each type:
Positive Traits
Green square icons are used to indicate positive personality traits. These Trait Statements are always desirable regardless of the situation or job. Here are some examples of positive traits:
Situational Traits
Yellow triangular icons are used to identify situational personality traits. Situational Trait Statements may be positive or a negative depending on the situation. The type of work, company culture, management style and work environment should be assessed before a particular situational trait statement can be judged as an asset or detriment to the candidate.
For example, an Insight Statement which reveals that a candidate prefers to work alone may or may not be an issue depending on the situation. If the job requires interaction and cooperation with a team of people the majority of the time, this situational trait would be viewed as undesirable. However, if the position required the candidate to spend most of their time working by themselves, the trait would be an asset. Consider these examples of situational traits:
Negative Traits
Red circle icons are used to identify negative personality traits. Negative Trait Statements are always undesirable and bad for business, regardless of the situation. Here are some examples of negative traits:
Warning Traits
A red X icon indicates that a Warning Trait Statement has been identified. Violence or extreme anger are examples of potentially dangerous personality traits possessed by the candidate. Interviewers should use extreme caution when dealing with individuals with warning trait statements. Here are a few examples of warning traits:
