Learn What You Really Need to Know About How a Candidate Might Fit Within Your Organization

The Gordon Personal Profile Inventory helps you identify the degree to which your candidates possess the personality-based competencies necessary for success in a job.  Each job or role requires a unique combination of personality characteristics for optimal performance. The GPPI measures 9 important and universal traits that can help you make the right hire for virtually any position.

Use the Gordon Personal Profile to:

  • Discover whether a candidate’s personality traits will be an asset to your organization
  • Identify desirable qualities such as dependability, attention to detail, diligence, innovation, conscientiousness, adaptability, analytical thinking, and stress tolerance
  • Reduce turnover and increase productivity when you hire individuals with the personal style that best meets your needs
  • Complement information garnered from the candidate’s resume, interview, and references
  • Occupation Applications Include: Accounting, Administrative, Computer/IT, Customer Service, Financial Services, Engineering, Health Care, Industrial/Manufacturing, Management, Retail, Sales and more
  • Use both the Profile Section and the Inventory Section to form a complete picture of a candidate’s personality.
  • Combine administration of the Gordon Personal Profile-Inventory (GPP-I) with the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal to learn more about an applicant’s potential for success than you can learn from an interview and resume.

There Are Two Online Report Options For The GPPI:
