The Occupational Personality Questionnaire – Universal Competency Profile is a behavioral assessment that measures aspects of behavior crucial to performance potential and that cannot easily be identified by other techniques. The OPQ32r provides a clear, simple framework for understanding the impact of behaviour on job performance.

The OPQ32r is designed to be used at every stage of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and selection, to development and succession. It is an excellent choice in multiple contexts from graduate recruitment to leadership development. The Universal Competency Profile is based on the Universal Competency framework. It graphically outlines how an individual’s typical way of behaving is likely to impact on competencies. It provides a graphical scale for each competency and summarizes aspects of personality which contribute (positively or negatively) to each competency. This test is appropriate for all job levels.
